TERMINOLOGY='lgc'>:

='strcls'>*="trms">articulation-work='lgc'>: the labor necessary to make ="trms">technologies fit together seamlessly

='strcls'>*diversity-work='lgc'>: a kind of work in which we learn about the damage we cause, and of how “causes” are understood as “damage”

='strcls'>*librarianship='lgc'>: a work that hooks up people with their ="trms">technologies

='strcls'>*="trms">data abstraction='lgc'>: a ='strcls'>*="trms">technique of isolating='strcls'>* (the parts of your mini-="trms">language that deal with) how ="trms">data/info objects are ‘re="trms">presented’ from (the parts of your mini-="trms">language that deal with) how ="trms">data/info objects are ‘used’ (='lgc'>-='lgc'>='lgc'>--> i addressed this in my ="trms">fable workshop in a totally ="trms">different ="trms">epistemology)

(re="trms">presentation of ="trms">data and control over ="trms">data='lgc'>:)
='strcls'>*modular='lgc'>: localized part of the ="trms">system that are produced by the perception of the ="trms">system
='strcls'>*objective='lgc'>: viewing a large ="trms">system as a collection of distinct objects. concerned with how a computational object can change and yet maintain its identity

='strcls'>*digital ="trms">interface='lgc'>: discrete object of your “research problem” that refers to something outside the cri (outside the digital model)

='strcls'>*topology='lgc'>: a (proposed) body-plan to investigate ="trms">questions of ='strcls'>*connectivity='strcls'>* and ='strcls'>*boundaries='strcls'>*, in order to find out what remains invariant as a result of transformation. this will direct us to propose (well-intended but not tested) ='strcls'>*transversal objects='strcls'>*.

PRACTICAL='lgc'>:

we want to find out how cri's “filter” ="trms">translates its politics into ="trms"nttrm="metaph,metamorph,metabol,metal">meta="trms">data
and
what happens in linking the ="trms">symbolic space of ="trms">data-model to the (="trms">relational, procedural, emotional) qualities of the rese="trms"nttrm="search">arches of participants

we will work on the block's opening week feedbacks and process them in this diagram='lgc'>:
