cultural decoding to flat-schizophrenisation
against episodic social recoding to
hierarchical robotism and algorithmic
control, coupling the meltdown of organisation into the jungle with its restoratlon
as virtually totalised global order.
Capital reorganisation dismantles the
unified and facialised despotic head, but
only in order to reunify it through transaction-security regularisation, and refacialise
it as the democratised oedipal organiser
of molar media identification, This geometrically condensing hyper-sovereignty
opposes itself in principle to the whole of
the populated earth, digitally smming and
homogenising latitudinally polytoned molecular chaos as the logically co-captured
specif ications of an entire extrinsically
segregated dark body added subordinately to its head. Capitalisation segments
the earth into a tightly-managed accumulative core surrounded by quasi-concentric bands of peripheral hot competition,
binding commerce to the meta-stationary
headline of white-economy initiativemonopolisation. Economic power builds
itself upon axiomatised production flows
canalised by consumption coding, setting
bourgeois docilisation, military-industrial
proletarian-production, state currency
monopolisation, property rights, and transaction restraints to obstruct monetary
smearing into pulsrve cash. Molecular
singularities stasise into molar specialities,
as smooth flow-switching space ,s overgridded with pseudo-neutral intermediation
procedures, telecommunicatively virtualised and capital-coded for maximum concentrational circulation. Trends to polarisation and segregation are densely invested,
decomposing intensities or synthetic
continua into extensive quantities and
qualitative sets, continuous funclions and
discrete beings, arithmetical homogeneity
and taxonom;c identity. The metric capture
