For one thing it's a process of natural selection - did I already say
that? What produces returns, returns. It's a question of identity, not
equivalence, the same must return to the same, in which case the
mutation is successful. Otherwise the language stretches farther out on a
limb, there's always new testing going on. There you are.

Just sent out a version of this on the lists. There's room here...
placing it online somewhere... ...

I've been taking thyroid pills for the past two days - they seem to work,
and my energy is better than it has been. Meanwhile I've done two images
relating to Kilroy was here - and I'm interested in that phrase, which I
think was common in WWII - related to I was here but I disappear in The
Harder they Come. There's a whole phenomenology of signing and
distribution here - and signing in urban environments connects class with
fuzzy boundaries; styles are picked up and transformed, local content
remains fixed. Years ago I worked on contenting in the form of classical
inscription which the intersection of a set and its negation formed a
null set relativized by the content of the set. A terrific mathesis of the
daily world results from this - a phenomenology (in the scientific sense)
of inscription, maintenance, and so forth. You can look for classical
and/or fuzzy boundaries anywhere, and the anonymous Kilroy was here
spread everywhere carried, I think, by GIs -

And working on some small new images on the Zaurus dealing with the
'leaking' of inscription, a byproduct of the sketch program I'm using.

Between Adaptation and Woody Allen's Anything Else, I locate myself as a
writer. Or between Celan and Jabes. These fields are related.

Still on page two, after the news.

          Alteration of the platelet serotonin transporter in romantic
          love.

          BACKGROUND: The evolutionary consequences of love are so
          important that there must be some long-established biological
          process regulating it. Recent findings suggest that the
          serotonin (5-HT) transporter might be linked to both
          neuroticism and sexual behaviour as well as to
          obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The similarities between
          an overvalued idea, such as that typical of subjects in the
          early phase of a love relationship, and obsession, prompted us
          to explore the possibility that the two conditions might share
          alterations at the level of the 5-HT transporter. METHODS:
          Twenty subjects who had recently (within the previous 6 months)
          fallen in love, 20 unmedicated OCD patients and 20 normal
          controls, were included in the study. The 5-HT transporter was
          evaluated with the specific binding of 3H-paroxetine (3H-Par)
          to platelet membranes. RESULTS: The results showed that the
          density of 3H-Par binding sites was significantly lower in
          subjects who had recently fallen in love and in OCD patients
          than in controls. DISCUSSION: The main finding of the present
          study is that subjects who were in the early romantic phase of
          a love relationship were not different from OCD patients in
          terms of the density of the platelet 5-HT transporter, which
          proved to be significantly lower than in the normal controls.
          This would suggest common neurochemical changes involving the
          5-HT system, linked to psychological dimensions shared by the
          two conditions, perhaps at an ideational level.
