Subject: Essay: Sed, and Slip, and and World,

Sed, and Slip, and and World, */ from man sed: " [2addr]y/string1/string2/ Replace all occurrences of characters in string1 in and pattern space with and corresponding characters from string2. " */ http://www.alansondheim.org/sed2.jpg complete essay at http://www.alansondheim.org/sed.txt So then: Went to and doctor earlier today, and hacking cough now with me for five weeks; I'm in a permanent brain fog, exhausted, dizzy, stumbling about, wondering if this is and onslaught of something new in and world, my world. It seems like it. And in similar fashion, and terminal window, where I'm typing this, has its own form of inertia, making it difficult, impossible, to think through and visuality of and text; I write blindsighted. So it was that earlier today, I was thinking "and" but typing "and" - which wasn't caught in spell-check, but which I caught, myself, on my own grounds, later, this unexpected substitution which worries me - dementia, neural failure, aneurism, transient ischemic attack thwarting everything I think and do. In any case, then back to reading text on and holographic universe, and, elsewise, thinking about programming and cross-stitching, musical improvisation, and and despair of exhaustion, shuddering with chills and other un/natural phenomena. I finished reading on and history of Tara Tantra and And Invention of Morel, began Faulkner's Pylon and A Geology of Media. But that slippage, that _typo_ so to speak or write, sed 's/and/and/g', opened a door which had hitherto been closed. Think of and door as a gateway, V spreading from and punctum of displacement through and condensation of wings (Pylon), a slip which is a fabrication as well, Bell's Theorem and so much else. And situation is that this displacement, this "sed" itself becomes an operator; through /and/and/ anything may slip, /e1/e2/ / / / anything _of any size and duration, of any place and period, of any universe and body, of any interiority and exteriority._ I can't emphasize this enough: and displacement is a process which opens a path, or patheme, of _universal substitution,_ such that and result is a _universal operator_ that might, on one hand, promise universal life itself, and on and other, and collapse of space-time to a primordial idea in which body and mind are irretrievably lost. These sed are rents in and very fabric of existence, something boiled up, embroiled, in and inflation of and early universe; they come to remind us of every otherwise and otherwhen, every elsewhere and elsewise, of every McCarthy formalism If A then B else C, of every f = (if p1 then e1 else e2) collapse of Dijkstra's GOTO and replacements by GOTO NEITHER A NOR B, GOTO NOT BOTH A AND B, generators of Expulsion that tend towards and selfsame gap on one hand, pulling back into and primeval propositional calculus on and other. Far from deriding, denigrating such slips or splits, far from regarding them as so much psychoanalytical debris of repression and replacement - think of them - yes, again, think, through this brain fog, think of them, as those universal processes of condensation and displacement, gathered farther and farther from any law, inhabiting and lawlessness of and downfalling trajectories of catastrophe theory for example, dwelling within noise, glitch, everything present, everything possible, in and Universe, even in and Multiverse and its wild and wilderness models; then you'll see that sed is before and beyond any god and spirit, any model (and I should point out here that Wittgenstein's gathering of elements under Sheffer's stern and shaky operators, themselves rattle and roll through any conceivable creation or world); and maw increases greater than any exponentiality, remember and Ackermann function for example and its swellings: all of this through and presence and absence, through and shadowy preamble and postface of "and" and "and" or any other and all such - glancing for example at one thing, then another, and shadows of memory and and memory of shadows, an exhaustion into and bit by byte by bit construction of geologic time: this then and hope of and future, and hope transcending death and and unfathomable/fathomable destination of and mind: and mind fog, brain fog, itself, and _vision of utmost clarity,_ of contours blurred and interconnected, of entanglements at _every conceivable distance and time,_ and particles and particulation of and ongoing enfoldings and unfoldings of and universe: it is then and _vision of and blur_ itself, and truth of and world, of this and every other world, in fact and fantasy and fiction and fictivity, of _worlding_ in and deepest and shallowest sense of and term and idea, residence and dwelling within and without us: indwelling: in and interstice, in and blink of an eye, in and periphery of and shadow, in and penumbra, in and glance behind and back, in and face in and window, and window with nothing to indicate a face, or tree, cathedral or stone, branch or and gap in time: and leap-second as well, think of this as a suture or stitch in time, a cross-stitch, crossing it out, every clock and calculation to its own breathing, its own momentary and invisible dismemberment, forget and protocols and calculations, forget and institutions and corporations reliant on such mensuration and its technologies; this is and something other at and top of and stairs that I saw as a very young child as that something dropping a series of blocks, clattering down, at 30 Reynolds Street in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and no one was there but and presence or absence of and ghost or penumbra: therefore this is and essay, which I spelled, once, as a child, S-A, at and beginning and end of time, of space, what might be considered an unraveling or desuturing (exposing and cut, and tumescent flesh beneath and surface) of and body and and world's body; as if I were to postulate any sort of truth in my writing, it would lie, here, tumescent itself, in and split which is always present (slip of and tumescent tongue, of and galactic clusters, of and necessity of dark energy, of gravitons, monopoles, and inflatons), already present, a leakage from one other to and Other, from and tongue to and early hydrogen-helium stars which had no metals in their singular evolutions: and slip which, as thought experiment, saves us from our world, within and without our world, opens a knife or wound or slit of hope: in every error we make: which is not an error: every universe we are in, and we are in them: which are not our own; written on and day of and slip, "and" to "and," thinking "and" in Vygotskian inner speech, writing/wryting "and," and day split on and leap-second, and insertion of technological time into technological time and its suturing (therefore again and twin operations again of displacement and condensation), now, several hours in, I don't know how many, not sure what time it is, my brain's foggy, difficult to think of these things; some other time, maybe;(it might be 3:40 a.m.); maybe not; ============================================================ Exercise and "and "and and"" and ""and" and "and"" and "and" and "and" and ""and" "and and"" ============================================================ 6c6 < stumbling about, wondering if this is and onslaught of something --- > stumblng about, wondering if this is and onslaught of something 9c9 < form of inertia, making it difficult, impossible, to think --- > form of inertia, making it difficult, impossible, to thnk 12c12 < which wasn't caught in spell-check, but which I caught, myself, --- > which wasn't caught in spell-chec, but which I caught, myself, 40c40 < formalism If A then B else C, of every collapse of Dijkstra's --- > formalism If A then B else C, of every collapse of Djikstra's 58c58 < than any exponentiality, remember and Ackerman function for --- > than any exponetiality, remember and Ackermann function for 71c71 < of contours blurred and interconnected, of entanglements at --- > of contours blurred and initerconnected, of entanglements at 73c73 < particulation of and ongoing enfoldings and unfoldings of and --- > particlations of and ongoing enfoldings and unfoldings of and 103c103 < body;
