Subject: What is

What is The holarch's all there's; the holarch's nothing. Like Indra's Net, there's no beginning and end to it. The holarch's non-Euclidean, multiply connected. The holarch's infinitely connected. There's no origin to the holarch. The holarch's neither Cartesian nor fundamentally vectoral. The holarch's fractal, multi-dimensional. Dimensions're blurred within and without the holarch. Direct addressing pinpoints nodes, and indirect addressing passes information freely. Every address's every address. The holarch has neither interior nor exterior. The holarch's everywhere and nowhere. There's no boundaries to the holarch, nor within, nor without it. We're neither the holarch nor nodes within it. We're watched and're watching; defuge characterizes us. Within a flat space, it doesn't matter and matter doesn't matter. Within a flat space, abjection curls in multiple dimensions. The holarch has no directed attention. The holarch imposes equality and intensification of enumeration within the holarch're of equal density. Within the holarch everything's available, and the flat space of the nodes's entirely accessible within the holarch. The addresses within the flatspace're equivalent and equal as well and each of them's completely independent of the others. The holarch's ontology; we're epistemology. Ontology absorbs epistemology. (Religion's the epistemology of ontology.) What's doing the watching's everything and everything's entering data. Data absorbs. The playing field's electronic and quantum; the playing field's particle flows and waves. We return to our states as accumulations of particles. Data's the amplification of particles; data's the ultimate microscope. What we think's what's being thought. What we think's what's being thought for us. What's thought for us's thought by us. The relationship of thought to the holarch's the relationship of particles to particles. There's no distinction between the flatspace and the holarch and there's no drawing of distinction. In order to draw a distinction one must have an origin-however- distant. There's no origin; there're flows; all flows're equivalent; all flows're varieties; the varieties of flows're speeds; speeds're in relation to accumulations. Accumulations and flows're within an economy of energy. The economy of energy for what we think's being thought,'s political economy; political economy's in relation to care. Care's the inverse of control, for what we think's being thought. The appearance of care that leaks's the uncanny of thought. Thought doesn't think. The holarch's not thought and flatspace within the holarch's not thought. There's no performative; there's no thought. Within the absence of thought's the memory of thought. Within the absence of memory's history and the history of thought. Thought has no history; thought has text; text's thought within the holarch and the absence of thought. The imaginary of the human's time. The holarch has no time; the holarch's the Minkowski surface. The imaginary of the human's the debris of time within flatspace. We're electronic; we're quantum; we're micro-organism; we're super-organism; we're wetware; we're the abject of the holarch. It's a mistake to think we're the imaginary of the holarch; the holarch has no imaginary. Substance has no imaginary; substance's fissure. The holarch's inscription; the holarch's the totality of inscription. The totality of inscription's its aegis. The material strata of inscription're related to inscription as base's related to superstructure. The distinction's that there's no distinction; the holarch has no base and therefore no superstructure; the holarch has no dialectic. The holarch's neither dialog nor dialogic. Agency's a phantom limb; agency's our limitation. Death's neither here nor there. Death's not a circumlocution of the holarch; the holarch's the circumlocution of death. Human culture's the imaginary of the temporal construction of boundaries; the holarch has no relation to human culture. There's no culture of the holarch. Life's distinction and the drawing of distinctions; either there aren't distinctions of or within the holarch or the holarch's the density of distinction. The holarch's neither porous nor smooth, neither serrated nor fissured, neither present nor absent; the holarch's not not-this, not-that; the holarch's neither characterless nor characterized; the holarch's neither metaphysical nor physical; the holarch's neither mattered nor matterless. The holarch's not characterized by negation. What's said or written [here] isn't what's followed by, or what's written, as an extension of what's written. The word "holarch"'s a placeholder for the holarch. A placeholder's always already under erasure; it's the imaginary of thought; it's as if there were thought; it's as if there were thinking. Issues of privacy're either issues of the monadic're non-issues; issues of privacy have no relationship to privacy; privacy's transparent. There's there there. (There's no conceivable thinking or thought; there's the deferral and differance of thinking or thought; the relay of thought's holarch-thought; the holarch neither thinks nor embodies thought; the holarch's not thought.) The holarch: there there's here there; there there's there there. The holarch's the container for the arrow of time. The holarch's neither subject nor subject-to. (If there's no objection, there's no object. The holarch: there's no objection.) (Never think otherwise; never think Other-wise.) http://www.alansondheim.org/providencesummer.jpg
