An ordering relation is irreflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive

sequential to consequential

reason has immense consequences, so does aesthetics

betterable better : finding a stronger one---Kelileh Demneh

‘possibility’ is always the higher point on the tree

quantification of a relationship followed to its limits.

With win or lose possibilities, in which there exists a guaranteed winning strategy.

last science transcends the first

reservoir exists for the circulation

two notions structurally stable in encyclopedia: circulation & reservoir

elements + operation =/= structure

analysing a text in terms of encyclopedia, i need to answer two questions: what is reservoir? What is circulation?

question regarding iranian literature reservoir: what is the reservoir? Where is the reservoir? What are its configurations?
(the last question syntactically proposes also the possibility of reconfiguration)
Is it metaphorical? Is it closed?
What is its plan? How it transports according to this plan? What are the circulating elements? What is stable there? What are the transformations when it transports?

Reservoir is libidinal*
capital, quantity of energy, constancy of force,

what can be applied to the pattern of circulations?
(of vocabulary, value, money, desire, etc.)
what blocks circulation? Who or what governs it?

In answering, you reconstruct (the entire set of what you consider interpretive)

application: strategy of conformity
explication: archaic and vague approximation

it is not necessary to introduce methods to read a text: the method is in the text. The text is its own criticism, its own explication, its own application.

Texts that operate = texts that are operated on ==> there are just texts
(there is no dichotomy in the operation)

technologies concerning heat, thermodynamics, shocked the traditional world and shaped the one we are now working in.

suddenly science falls silent and mythology speaks

transsubstantiation

the astronomer falls in ==> the truth comes out
(ask maryam's astronomer: what disconnects the connected?)

throw the key to the text

for classification, connection is at stake, space is at stake

the formal invariant is something like a transport

what is worse for classification?

non-connections that are at stake

we shall never be free of space

fire, and transcendental subject

accidents of space (at work upon the multiplicity of spatial varieties

what is the program of topology?

My body lives in as many spaces as the group (the society) has formed.
The euclidian house, the street and its networks, open/closed garden, closed space of the sacred, school and its fix points and social varieties, complex ensemble of flow charts, those of language, of factory of family, of political party, and so forth.

..my body is plunged in the intersection of this multiplicity

culture : constructing precise and particular connections between such spatial varieties --> “original intersection”

topology; culture connects and joints, art delinks and disconnects
(the law of incest prohibition connects the disconnected)

pure --> untainted --> separated, enclosed

the discourse of rationality replacing the mythical text --> art becomes science --- the realization of a project is left to reason

siyavosh/sohrab is one of the descendants of disseminated spaces, of catastrophic separation of the continuous

when Rostam recognises the mark of his son, Ferdosi giving a version of recognition scene, connects --> Oedipus
the son, the mother
-we can recognise a typological space: the same and the other: the separated
-the space of the world is described requiring connection
-family tree
-parts are to be joined
-rostam and sohrab, siyavosh and sudabeh, cannot be composed to form a single homogeneous space. (rostam and siyavosh do that)

the presuppose that before discourse there existed a mutual policy of unrelated spaces ~ chaos
-the object or the target of (cultural) discourse is to connect
-to transform a chaos of separate spatial varieties into a space of communication
-scatered members, re-membered
-incoherent chaos, reformulated in the common space of transport when it is reconstructed

Kelileh
...she is the signatory of the discourse
...she mimes the progress and delays of Demneh

ajayeb, a time when transport and itinerary were only myth


transport ~/=? transfer
-transport is a unitary space where transfer is *always possible (like money)
-transfer is only a possibility

so, we must find the word or construct a conditional logos that *already works to connect the crevices which run across the spatial chaos of disconnect varieties, the *proto-worker of space*, the weaver in the topology of nodes

separations by sudden stoppage
•is this a myth?

a worker of the single space
(we are not)

euclidian space of every possible displace
(what are the displaces and displacements in Ajayeb? Be specific)

(proliferating multiplicities of) unlinked morphologies

(fire text)
to practice dichotomy (and its connected paths) one must know that its clefts follow and overlap the ancient mythical narrative (in which worlds are torn ...)


when geometry is born myth falls silent

(the ancient journey) from islands to catastrophes, from passage to fault, from bridge to well, from relay to labyrinth

the original function

the “new space” is always universal

the space of reason is universal, within it there are no more encounters

one can walk on two or four or three legs ----> how the earth is measured

properly formed cluster (of letters) = standardization

standard compromises the non-essential, or inessential, those without meaning

what is a logician interested in?
Form --> pathology

misguided sciences

if static is accidental, background noise is essential to communication

pathology
spocken: stammering, mispronounciation, regiomil accents, dysphonia, cacophony
technical: background noise, jamming, static, cut-off, hyteresis, various interruptions

to communicate oraly (in performance work with Ali ) is to risk losing meaning in noise.

A successful communication is the exclusion of the third man, the demon, the interference.

Mathematics has triumphed so well over noise

the (un)logical beginning of logic

to render a form independent of its empirical realization --> universal

from the information point of view there is a tremendous background noise

the noise of a complex to which a receptor is linked

there must be noise in pleasure and information in pain (?!)

Find in ajayeb, operating functions:

fixations,
energy displacements,
movements of observer,
ambiguity functions,
freudian slip,
exploits of signs,
exploits of energy,

یک کلاغ چهل کلاغ yek kalagh chel kalagh is precisely noise in a transmission system along a given circuit from one element to another. From a point of view outside the system ambiguity must be added to increase the system's complexity

what are the unconsciousnesses of integration?

(many) interlocking (black) boxes

obstacles do organise, noise becomes dialect
they come crashing at our feet
in the forms of eros and death

unconscious is the last black observer of chance

aging, is a process we understand as the drifting of information into background noise

عجایب المخلوقات ajayeb al makhlughat, anamnesis, memory, and everything imaginable

body creates language from information and noise

one who utters language, is the receiver at the end chain, the final observer. But the initial dispatcher is (always) unknown.

Ajayeb, make? a chance-program couple
to perform both:
•i am submerged in (its) signal exchanges
•i observe its global set of exchanges

introspection veers off into experience

as Freud, who started from energy models of thermodynamics, has intuited, everything occurs by a dynamic of language, the subsequent development of thermodynamics into information theory.

Knowledge is always linked to an observer
