Fountain displaces itself

Posted this on Brad Nelson's Tumblr (in response to his saying that he's been thinking of dub as the center while being concurrently aware that there is no center and there never was):

I once argued that dub was central, or at least deserved pride of place as a fountain that watered a number of neighboring fields, while saying that sonically what it did was to take out its own center. Here's where I tried to turn this idea into sense (but I then never tried to follow up on the thought).

Someone ought to pick up the thought and carry it somewhere.
