psychoanalysis of the dream of the State ? and its relation to its reality

(to establish) a zone of rights over an entire exterior --> rage & innocence

Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series --> war machine striated final merged in a cyber-flux with its human counterpart --> nature dominated (battle to occupy the smooth space)

[what now people want in Iran: not the smooth space a deterritorializing State, rather:]
capture of flows
(need for) fixed paths
well-defined directions --> restrict speed, regulate circulation, relativized movement
--> polics = management of the public ways =/= fluidity of messages and masses

silk road...

Iran State = smooth + striated

State translates: “moving bodies” --to--> “moved bodies”

” ” --> ” “
Star Trek transportation system
sedentary kind of tey-ol-arz طی الارض

what homeless/drunk people do in cities --> reconstitution of a smooth space = a manner of being in space as though it were smooth

***rebellious space is always smooth space***

virtual space is neither striated nor smooth space

multiplication of relative movements ==> smooth space --> the sea becomes the place of the ‘fleet in being’ --> nomadism accompanying a worldwide war machine
@Jassem's rebellious nature =/= Pierre's staying with the striated space (with the trouble, with the institution, )

decimal grouping --> comes from the nomads

three major types of organization:
1. lineal
2. territorial
3. numerical

number ==> lineage

spatium (differentiated space with depth and levels) =/= extensio (immanent center, divisible homologous parts, and symmetrical and reversible relations)


[title]
numbering of numbers

census
taxation
election

(Deleuze and Guattari are wrong about numbers serving to gain mastery over matter ----> Verran's work on number in Africa)

State = a teritorial principle (of deterritorialization that links the number to metric magnitudes) --D+G--> “we don't believe that the conditions of independence or autonomy of the number can be found in the State (--> Deleuze and Guattari leftist tendency to purity the State)

(operating war machine -->) numbering number : autonomous arithmetic organization

*numbers appear as soon as one distribute something in space =/= distribution of space (that is more the State's business)*
independence of the number in relation to space --> concrete nature of smooth space
--> number: a means of moving =/= means of counting

*middle ages curse sheets and taxa:
geometry of smooth space
a minor, operative geometry
=? [*]ajayebnameh: geometry of the trait between the rumers of the world, senses, and writing

kinetic kinect machine vision glitch Amazon rain forest nature culture technology interface enfold digital travel journey perception tactile reality dream surface 3D motion mimesis [source: Sina Seifee] vector --> directional number =/= dimentional number =/=? metric number

directions are everywhere

rhythmic =/= harmonic (--> setar / is my whole work about harmonic? horror-nic)

order of displacement

concentration-camp society: ‘people = deterritorialized numbers’ (--> fantasy of full despotism in The Handmaid's Tale)

**the question is not one of good or bad but of specificity** (<-- when i say who what artists say could have a chance of being disputed)

complex = articulated

the Roman legion was a number made up of numbers, articulated in such a way that the segments become mobile, and the figures geometrical, changing, transformational


logistics: the art of external relations

Genghis Khan --> composition of the steppe
Moses --> composition of the desert


nomads as child stealers


(commissars, diplomats, spies, strategists, logisticians) cannot be explained away as a “whim of the sultan”

special numerical body

slave-infidel-foreigner is the one who becomes a soldier and believer while remaining deterritorialized in relation to the lineages and the State --> نظام‌الملک سیاست‌نامه

*nomads have no history, they only have geometry*

Iron Man's technological definition: “weapon (destroying people) =/= tool (producing goods)”

weapon --> projection, anything that throws or is thrown
@Pierre *the notion of “problem” is related to the war machine*

introjective: preparing a matter from a distance, in order to bring it to a state of equilibrium or to appropriate it for a form of interiority
(projection: appropriate it for a form of exteriority)


#bow and arrow --> hunt (when speed is associated primarily with the hunted animal) =/= war (speed is an independent variable)
prey =/= enemy
prey =/= motor
(#bow and arrow does --> *abstracts the idea of motor and applying it to itself* =/= generalize the idea of prey by applying it to the enemy)

the economy of hunted animal


ecosystem situated at the origin --> garden of eden / heaven
ecosystem situated at the end --> apocalypse / end-time

discovery of a projecting and projectile system ==> war machine

war machine
breeding + training
insitutes an entire economy of violence
--> *a way of making violence durable*



two ideal models motor:
work =/= free action
(let's) work: tool meets resistance
free action: operates only upon the mobile body itself, is not consumed in its effect(?), continues from one moment to the next [--> style of artistic research]. the way in which the elements of the body escape gravitation to occupy absolutely a nonpunctuated space

weapon is moving
tool is moved
tool presupposes work, tool does not define work

***the principle behind all technology is to demonstrate that a technical element remains abstract***, remains entirely undetermined --> as long as one does not relate it to an assemblage it presupposes

tool
-one cannot speak of weapons or tools before defining the constituent assemblages they presuppose and enter into @OSP
the tool is essentially tied to a gensis, a displacement, and an expenditure of force (whose laws reside in work) =/= weapon concerns only the exercise or manifestation of force in space and time (in conformity with free action)

when speed added to displacement ==> ?

tools & weapons = consequences ~/=? causes


the morning star and the battle-axes

variable assemblages of human, animal, and thing

*assemblage*: (passional) compositions of desire[=/= natural determination, spontaneous determination] --D+G--> there is no desire, but assembling/assembled desire
assemblage ==(bring into play)==> [*]passion: effectuations of desire that differ according to the assemblage [=/= Germany]
man-animal-weapon
man-horse-bow
assemblage of speed
...

(what Game of Thrones TV series missed:) military of men --> homosexual eros replaces the zoosexual eros of horesman [--> اسب امام حسین]

State ==>{(training of) worker --to--> (apprenticeship of) soldier}

{affect: active discharge of emotion --> projectile ~ weapon}=/={feeling: displaced, retarded, resisting emotion --> introceptive ~ tool}


martial arts: the not-doing of the warrior ~ the undoing of the subject
effectuated in the void (=/= nothingness)


attention frigatebird media sea anthropology information [source: wikimedia, photograph by Mario Müller] form-matter =/= motif-support
(the support is as mobile as the motif)


goldsmith's and silversmith's is the barbarian art par excellence


picto-ideographic

short war
live messages

[text that is] ornamental (a way of encoding) =/= scriptural (according to a sacred writing)


tools
weapons
signs
jewellery

jewellery/sign --> expression
model --> free action / work
direction --> projection / introception (#bow and arrow)


(for Deleuze and Guattari:) ***architecture and cooking have an affinity with the State =/= music and drugs have differential traits --> on the side of the nomadic war machine


schizophrenic taste for the tool that moves it away from work and towards free action --> a schizophrenic taste for the weapon that turns it into a means for peace (<--[...]
