- film on code/work 5/16/02 foreground: everglades trail @ 190% speedup background: miami drive @ 200% speedup sound: mixed from visuals text-crawl, bottom-screen: length: 7:24 codework:: f({x}) -> {y} - any mapping is sufficient - TRACE of the road-vector against the MESS or TANGLE across the glades path. it is the arrow - not the terms - that fascinates me - the arrow which INSISTS on a mapping, linguistic or perceptual. one APPROACHES code with code; the retina always already encodes, and further coding provides a bracketing or intersection of terms x^~x permitting definition. but BETWEEN x and ~x (not-x), there is a chasm or FISSURE; inscription transforms FISSURE into CLIFF. do you follow me? I am winging this. in this REALM, everything is inchoate, fuzzy; one is immersed in the DIALOGIC of FLOWS among schema, scripts, goals, regimes, mappings, sememes, and configurations. these moments are THROUGH the path or road, not DOWN. HERE, I have no shadow. THAT DAY, I was covered in sand-midge, mosquito, and deer-fly bites; I carried a fever everywhere. but that day I drove the seven miles brilliantly, reaching my destination in record time. ... ... ... ... consider a CODE as a MESH with PARASITIC INTENTION. the PARASITE is the nexus; in the absence of the parasite, all that's left is the problematic of a 'natural' protocol. it is the PARASITE that inhabits the sememe; it is the PARASITE that INSCRIBES. think of the TEE formation: f({x}) <> |P| <> {y}. I inhabit the parasitic; the road and path penetrate me: I gasp the name of the code: ROAD-NAME TRAIL-NAME: ***MILLER*** and ***CHRISTIAN POINT***. _
