3 protocols' commentaries


1 well this protocol drives everything. it's not a protocol, it's an
association or mapping, it's a drive or production-number, it's a
correspondence, it's built into the matrix of the inchoate, it's
unintended, it's untended - [phenomenology of approach, the world]
membrane.mov or something that 'reflects' - in the antiquated diamat sense
- the running and rummaging of the idiotic real -

2 well this protocol carries the codes, this protocol carries the message,
this protocol is unintended, it's tended, it's maintained, someone
maintains it, someone keeps it running, someone sends the message, someone
hears it - [phenomenology of the world, the carrier, the interpretation,
the interpretation of the carrier, the assignation] - there's mime.mov and
mum.mov and think of the body as the carrier/transmission - the making of
the cinematic of the mime -

3 well this protocol's assigned on the run, this is the meaning-generator,
meaning-production, this assigns boundaries and bindings, this creates
language and negations, this runs it through - there's dirt inhabiting
this one, there's the noise in the machine, there's the interpretations,
the abjections, the sado-masochisms, the ideologies, histories - it's all
in this protocol - [phenomenology of approach, the complicit, the
seduction, the accompaniment, the comprehension, the deconstruction] ===
this is the parasitic protocol, the dirty little secret in the midst of
the corporate === well, here's the seals film among others - all these
cinematic ploys heading towards sexuality, exposure, restraint, composure
- you can already see what a mess is being created, that there's no way in
or through this stuff, it's too tangled, too much of a thicket, go back
and go way back to the books -

idiot, you're saying there's nothing more than a range of coding, some of
it found and reported as such, witnessed, for better or worse, from the
world-at-large, and some of it human-created, and some of it created and
loose/ned upon the landscape. idiot, you're saying that the variety of
protocols make some sort of difference. is it that you're trying to
release your dirty little secret, whatever and wherever that is, within
theory in order to create a minor masterpiece of therapeutic?

it won't hold, the classification is useless and leaky. no matter how much
you through around the cant word 'parasite,' nothing changes; if anything,
you're parasitic on the theory itself. you go nowhere, it goes nowhere.

the phenomenology of approach essay, once you finally got that finished,
was a good thing; it was perfect, it allowed for some sort of advance. and
so one can see how codes play into that, structures that are grounded in
or submerged within or emerged without - the appropriated or created or
discovered domain - however you want to read it. and of course codes don't
exist in a vacuum, the morse code for example, is of a certain pitch with
a specific transmission (no more, alas, replaced by further digital commu-
nications), and a certain length for dot and dash, and a certain voltage
and at a machine- or human- readable speed and machine- or human- writable
speed - and all of this constitutes the _protocol_ of the transmission of
the code, the protocol which is tended and let loose, the structure of the
communications channel itself. and then of course there might be an infin-
ite regress here, you're not sure, it just seems likely.

idiot, there's no regress, but code and protocol don't necessary merge,
and you're making STANDARDS and PROTOCOLS and CODES somehow equivalent,
and you're getting lost as usual in a blind fix of your own doing, and you
can't escape, you can never escape - and now you're far too tired to do
anything but whine...

i'm trying to deal with silence, problematic language, "messy" language -
for example - what constitutes a word in mime?
codework - for me - implies a tension between what might pass for surface
content, and what might pass for:
a. the substructural matrix (presentation format)
b. the sustaining protocols (email, ascii code, etc.)
c. the generating protocols (programming)
d. interacting protocols (html, programming)
- all of these are of course problematic in relation
to one another -

the nineteenth century


"of sir edward, it must be said that his love for lulu was insatiable.
of lulu, it must be said, her love for sir edward was obsessive, full of
doubt."

edwardr hand was up into him making him scream
edwardr people were spread so wide every person could see edwardr person
his person was open to anyone who wanted to see his people
lulu pulled and bit his person with edwardr person
sir edward bit edwardr people until tedwardy bled
lulu bit his people until tedwardy bled
lulu pulled tedward people so tight tedwardy cut his person
lulu pissed all over his people and person
sir edward pissed all over edwardr people and person
lulu came all over him
sir edward ran his people all over edwardr
edwardr hand was up into him making him scream
edwardr people were spread so wide every person could see edwardr person
his person was open to anyone who wanted to see his people
