        conundrums (notes for a talk on net.ideogrammar)


        first conundrum - identities as ontologies - the _thickness_ or 
        idiocy of the real - the realization of the real - think of 
        equivalences in terms of taxonomies, measure, typifications -
        epistemological standards.

        transformation into the latter. from knowledge management to 
        blurring at the horizons and internal burrowing by agents -

        second conundrum - presence of _infinitude_ - in terms of the 
        Net - openness of command-line behavior, closed universes or 
        sememes in terms of net.art - with random input & filtering, the 
        business of the closed program, programmatic horizon -

        infinite (rather, inaccessibly high finite density) of Net 
        endpoints - everywhere within hyperspheres.

        third conundrum - this desperate desire to escape from death -
        losing within epistemological regimes, one can always chart 
        C:pathdirectory... - as long as there are routers, there is 
        life.

        fourth conundrum - quality of written content - textual worlds 
        and their breaking - machination in relation to flow - ruptures, 
        impediments, loosenings, slides, viscosities, flux - (what would 
        mean so much to you at this very moment - that you would keep 
        reading on, that your life will change, _that you will remember 
        me_)

        fifth conundrum - clean and proper body (Kristeva) of the 
        digital domain - but the chaotic body of the _same_ -
        relationship between chaos and abjec- tion - chaos as _dirt_ -
