Assist, you Gods (from you these changes spring) And, from the Worlds first fabrick to these times, Deduce my never-discontinued Rymes. (from Ovid's Metamorphosis Englished, Mythologized and Represented in Figures, George Sandys, 1632) The hierarchical organization of sheave-skin contrasts with emergent confluence of aggregates; organisms respond across organisms, skin; sheave-skin responds within the aegis of purified control. There's no place for the soul within the latter, placement but no confluence in the former. The digital tends towards clarification, differentiation, of the analog smear; the analog tends towards confluent intentionality. The abject inheres in the digital; abjection drives the flower and green fuse. It's a jumble because it coheres as jumble; what jumble does is splits, fissures, falls, tilts, kilters. What jumble does is decision, none at all as if there were nothing there, emptied of decision making: decisioning, nothing made. It's necessary to be clear about the unclear, only to the extent of the evanescence of the mist. Read Francisco J. Varela, Ethical Know-How, Action, Wisom, and Cognition - think of mobile assemblages in the grips of the true world from one scale to another, from human to true world, from mind to emanent. entities are present within the true world filtered through the history of ties, around emanents and 'true worlds,' around edge phenomena distorted worlding, 'bringing one out of the true world' (etc.) what con- stitutes the true world? worlding? 'true world' in which lines/angles are 'trued' (affine geometry), 'true world' in the sense of 'trued' phen omen- ologies within which reflects real unclarity, the house of the world, transforming the world and the true world into praxis and real difference. and there's truth to this. least, when the true world is considered, em- anent and organism are intermingled, interpenetrated, within them, they are true-world true world? carnated/carnal/knowledge - we could begin by introducing the true world, primordial, in other words backgrounding. in this sense, the true world is materialist; how the limits of my body within the true world are the limits of my world; thought and the true world are based on extrapolation - the gestural - from conglomerations, inherings, coherings among discrete and analog, abject. how are these constituted within the true world (another metaphor?)? language is clothed, associated with the true world. nevertheless both inhabit the true world, mind inhabits both, albeit often virtual within, inhering to the true world. striated, variegated, constructed, both thinging and orgasm, wryting into the body of the true world, wryting everywhere. what constitutes the true world? worlding? 'true world' in which lines/angles are 'trued' (affine geometry), 'true world' in the sense of 'trued' phenomenologies within which all worlds are not true worlds, all true worlds are worlding. ikonic signs inhere within the true world, reading bodies (organisms, emanents, approp- riated, misappropriated) are ikonic. true world - the body standing land- scapes of decoding, tendencies and tending of the true world sending thick-skins, true world of inhering/cohering skins. it is not communality (nothing is accountable). the 'worldview' stemming from the true world is symbol, index, chora, self, selving, others, worlds, worlding, world, just as anything in the true world replaces anysign - the poetics of the true world, all this skittering, dark matter. messy, inhering, worlding within. we can't stop now, bodies in space surrounded by symbolic fields, field- ing, motilities, evanescences, emptiness. we have the true world just beyond the space of the proscenium, meaning. but then, the shell ... yes, what we call ghosts are only these slid the real, the real is a shadow of the virtual, and within the true world messay, future genres which seeping into one another, true world of emanents and anysign where we're living, breathing, writing and strange, out there, within, structure paralleling our own. true world is the mattering/nattering to and among us, and we have to mess airless realm, the unintended or intentionless realm, in the true world realm, insertion in other words, an reading as a is identical to a. let's think of this in the true world, as simultaneously messay and true world and here, in other anysigns, or none, nothing, no sign at all, or, inclusive, signlessness.
