n.otes thinning, defuge, flattening <--> reduction, collapse corrosion, residue, dissolution, dissemination, spew, emission thinning and emission epistemologically related -- emission (perhaps) implying point-source, teleology (it came from planet x) thinning - information peeled off -- entropy - permanently lost emission - information a mess, implosion -- hints of origin, originary trope the two are related, information disorders -- information is never disordered; its receptors are (in relation to codes, attention, capacity, etc.) information is in a state of becoming-information - always hermeneutics defuge also an information disorder? decathecting? has to do with libidinal investment withdrawn through repetition 'defuge is the information disorder of our time' (come again?) defuge in relation to borderline syndrome, borderline personality (exhaustive testing of presence) - weakened, decathected or overly cathected ('etiquette' of cathect / cathecting) spew has wider origin than emission, emission implies some sort of coherency in the beginning - spew can be considered flux into flux (incoherency into incoherency) the real is spew - continuous one-to-many / many-to-one mappings - chatterings, jostlings core dump <--> spew - but not defuge - not impinging on the psyche - instead, formal epistemology, archaeology of collapse defuge - information not present (was present) but stale - as in automatic reading, then returning to attempt rereading information always already spew - as read, is edited down, cut into, etc. - 'spew sliced' = information editing down the buzzing of the real (from spew) - machinic decoding - it's here that mathesis occurs - i.e. presencing - what emerges from slag God implies emission, spew implies, what? psycho-physical processes, thick transmissions - nothing that can be _named_ spew - moil, sourceless = everysource spew - moil, boil, roil, soil -> defuge emission - source, implied, inherent emission - chatters? stutters? continuous and discrete emissions Johannes Lohmann - operational words (of sorts) see Kittler - indo-european clusters / constellations - spread of phenomenological domains across (among) inscriptions inscription withdraws, decathects, sympathetic fissure inheres, cathects, empathetic? (probably wrong way to go here) Freud on the uncanny - fissure and fissure, x and x, inscription, x and -x fissure < - > defuge, x and x defuge (x), i'm tired of all this (x) fissure goes nowhere, there's nowhere to go fissure comes from nothing, goes to nothing, there's no one to go fissure - tends towards analog inscription is 'everything else' - tends towards digital immersion inscribes - into what? fissure? (wrong way again) definable fissures - into what? inscription? (most likely not) fissure is a priori untheorized, uninscribed
