From a Machine for Making Sense

Chris Mann

Autumn 1991

(Rights a package of vowels (epistemics, perspective gone begging (science (pop structure)) says oh no (an aphorism for unemployment), and the idea of the machine (that things work (by hosting))): a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (difference as capital) purposeful state that bounces ambition on the knee of application (use is that truth afforded reference — surrogate knowns — (the software you rent today comes back as a database (a working copy))): evidence is that form of envy that we now call obsolete (sentimental slavery) or why power looks like machines instead of work: the legislation of fact by mimicking survival (locality as a portable syndrome (opportunities are those system requirements that need press (giantism))), — ubiquity lives next door says the sceptic and outflanking puddles co-opts the boots. Power as mnemonic device (a plot is a repository for manners) says ‘when’: thought makes things seem familiar — a confession of objects — (a conditional curse), a forgery that vouches for itself, a history of its own salvation, a data flow. Or what else could have been meant by the word particular (— the difference between facts and other computers: facts know they can lie).) On lost presents (distinctions (getting even)) a la the advantage of speech: it leaves no evidence. Rumour acquires translation in some do dah fictionalist sense. (Reason is that metaphor that’s spoken for, a dialect of one-to-ones: I know I knew enough (enough is that name liked by description (‘says’ is the referent)).) (Triptamine, on whether apparatus (agent) preference represents a change or an extension of meaning (where the bit is understood as finite): clausal economics (for which conclusions are those actions we call probable) function as delays of reason by referring to echoes as late — exits aint empirical, they’re properties.) On taking the material out of logic: nonlinear evolution by trick is that style of ones (small) that look the same, a carbon tax.
