Subject: description of the world in a few sentences
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 11:56:46 -0400 (EDT)
description of the world in a few sentences one wheel cuts through the thread of objects connected by the viewer as if they were material of a single line; well they are of course, coordinates among coordinates, connectivity on some remote level within database and processes. the wheel doesn't rotate, the line is not a line, the movement is not movement, the material is not material, the objects aren't objects - the epistemology meets the ontology on the singularity of protocol or code, collapses within the database. databases do nothing; there are no processes, no dynamics, only decay. there are no databases; there is for the moment organized substance. connectivities travel through the same but there is no travel, no connectivities, only quantities transformed into quantities; the clock that governs does not govern, is not a clock; the clock that governs is outside time. the clock is invisible to the data- base, invisible to the objects; the phenomenology and dynamics of time are invisible to the database; there is no time; there is ordering; there is no ordering; there is database-substance, singularity smeared within and without the hinge of epistemology and ontology. let us say within and without the database, epistemology is the subject and ontology the object and let us say that the hinge is the memory or uncanny remnant of this or any other operation. we can approach the truth in this manner from outside consideration; there is no approach, no truth, no we involved in what can only be considered complicity in crime, and that is what remains after possible worlds and natural kinds are exhausted, nothing in this instance and there is no nothing, only the virtual. http://www.alansondheim.org/threading.mov
