Building a cipher A corpus of intelligent forms The technical order of an object that is comfortable How to reason the sum total of all archetypes? Towards critique with regard to the symbolic alchemy of myth-making A realist classicism Familiarizing ourselves as strangers, native to the universe The domain of the quasi: Instructive analysis, character dispositions How can reason in general learn from singularities? Of genealogical and of tabular orders: Eating ''next to'' (parasite) Heterogeneous scales, logistical uniformality (forms of operation) Indexical address: The referential of the centre Respecting order by challenging it Cunning ruses: The anarchic architectonic way of paying respect How to address the third-person singular?
