Page Two [home] 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. _
