This is an in-process collection of monumental and ephemeral sentences.
The idea is to bind them through specific word repetitions to the other pages' projects. And to themselves. And to the outside.
Really this is the beginning of a notebook, or naive internet fantasy. Come back later.
But it is quite beyond doubt that the development of writing will not indefinitely be bound by the claims to power of a chaotic academic and commercial activity; rather, quantity is approaching the moment of a qualitative leap when writing, advancing ever more deeply into the graphic regions of its new eccentric figurativeness, will suddenly take possession of an adequate material content. In this picture-writing, poets, who will now as in earliest times be first and foremost experts in writing, will be able to participate only by mastering the fields in which (quite unobtrusively) it is being constructed: statistical maps and technical diagrams. With the founding of an international moving script, poets will renew their authority in the life of peoples, and find a role awaiting them in comparison to which all the innovative aspirations of rhetoric will reveal themselves as antiquated daydreams. one-way street 456–457
-What he does not see, cannot see, is how he has been made a captive of their picture. rosalind krauss, the optical unconscious, p 24
-The writer is urged to show explicitly all the steps that have led him to his conclusion, so enabling every reader to follow the process through and, where possible, to duplicate it. This demand not only invokes the liberal fiction of the universal communicability of each and every thought...but is also wrong itself as a principle of representation. For the value of a thought is measured by its distance from the continuity of the familiar. It is objectively devalued as this distance is reduced; the more it approximates to the pre-existing standard, the further its antithetical function is diminished, and only in this, in its manifest relation to its opposite, not in its isolated experience, are the claims of thought founded.” Minima Moralia, p 80.
-What distinguishes the map from the tracing is that it is entirely oriented toward an experimentation in contact with the real. The map does not reproduce an unconscious closed in upon itself; it constructs the unconscious...The map is open and connectable in all of its dimensions; it is detachable, reversible, susceptible to constant modification. It can be torn, reversed, adapted to any kind of mounting, reworked by an individual, group, or social formation. It can be drawn on a wall, conceived of as a work of art, constructed as a political action or mediation. Deleuze and Guattari. A Thousand Plateaus p. 12
-Like Radar Networks, Metaweb is still not publicly describing what its service or product will be, though the company's Web site states that Metaweb intends to "build a better infrastructure for the Web." "It is pretty clear that human knowledge is out there and more exposed to machines than it ever was before," Mr. Hillis said. "Entrepreneurs see a web guided by common sense" John Markoff.

As you said stone sculpture's still and moves
and to intrigue us further the mobile moves
with its sustaining current the space is still:
which is less abstract solid or more sensed?
Zukofsky, A, [A-18] p 393
