Nick Land's 'Fanged Noumena' presents a radical critique of capitalism as a vampiric, fanged system that transforms humans into 'technocapital' through deterritorialization, arguing that the body without organs represents a deorganized state of virtual potential that enables escape from fascist and psychoanalytic systems of order by embracing machinic desire and becoming other through schizoanalytic processes.

Fanged Noumena by Nick Land (A Brief Overview)Added:
Kant capital and the prohibition of incest deals with Claude Levy Strauss's alliance theory noting Hanov via kinship women are exchanged kinder goods and capitalistic systems so as to avoid tribes from being incestuous sestuous becomes key to lane's thinking in the sense that incestuous systems are ordered or organized systems cut off from engaging with the outside as such incestuous systems like fascist systems in the delusian sense are ediple or psychoanalytic systems of organization based on identity or identicality reducing everything back to an absolute or unified system akin to Hegelian models which is xenophobic of the other.
Repressing desire and not using it for the purposes of becoming other. Thus by getting outside we avoid incestuous psychoanalytic theories finding xenophilia. Embracing the lo and guatri schizoanalytic model of dter territorialization driven by difference in repetition which leads to deorganization via the body without organs which is the egg of virtual potential tied to becoming other producing paradigm shifts in perspective akin to the capernickian revolution.
Thus the land we can start to see the connection to capitalism and dterritorialization connected to the outside which will be further of course connected with Kant and his new mental realm where capitalism uh indistinct from machines and automation is calling to us from a transcendental realm sculpting us akin to a lovecraftian creature turning us into it by its very vampiric bite where the fang numina is technoc capital itself the fanged aspect is in reference to Marx's notion of how dead labor and automation ation sucks living uh living labor vampirically.
Narcissism and dispersion in Haidiger's 1953 Traal interpretation deals with Haidiger's interpretation of George Trile's poetry to Haidiger being is unfolded via language and poetry akin to a reflection much like the reflection narcissist stared into to land driven by delusian desire and continental realm.
We can connect Tel's poetry to the night and animals of the wild, thus correlating to the moon, madness or lunacy, which will be linked later to Lovecraft and of course Dion and Chaos.
Like death and rebirth, one dies at night so as to be reborn, becoming other by way of alchemical metamorphosis via a new dawning day tied to Crowley's night of pan and oax and the hermetic order of the golden dawn. Thus we see the connection to derritorialization by way of becoming animal. Tle's poem the rat which Haidiger neglects is an exe excellent example of the fang numina where rats like the plague move in multiplicities or swarms uh like insects biting everything and spreading diseases or viruses which further leads to the collapse of organized systems hacking the edipul system of human and appalonian order. We must note that while Freud felt the death drive was tied to physical than theatos, Doo showed how the death drive was really more akin to the dterritorialization process and a state of zero intensity tied to land to his knill god where all equals zero. In later writings, Land will use ice breakers from Gibson's neurommancer to highlight upon how viruses destroy ordered ice or intrusion countermeasures electronics systems.
Delighted to death deals with George Batai's a cursed share connecting it to machinic desire showing how the surplus energy produced by Batai's black and alchemic son must be spent or squandered via activities like sacrifice war and eroticism thus making it a cursed in some sense as well as being anti-utilitarian since it is uselessly squandered. Since we are all becoming other via machinic desire, we are being delighted via transgressive behaviors and activities that are driven by the dterritorialized death drive like an hellraiser or Barker's the hellbound heart. Barker being the inspiration for Lance Dr. Barker transgression like a shamanic or voodoo trans state or the limitations of Rimbo's poetry ties to Khan's transcendental and new metal realm where the virus of the fanged vampire bites us all and turns us into it. Like in Hellraiser, pain and pleasure becomes blurred via transgressive experience, causing us to find delight in this dterritorialized death drive. This is the thirst for annihilation stemming from Lan's earlier work on Batai. Annihilation is thus an ecstatic experience tied to Runa's passions as experienced by martyrs where Kant's sublime experience is linked closely to his new metal realm acting as a bridge between phenomenon and numon akin to walking the path of the Dao between yin and yang.
Art as insurrection essentially notes how art is tied to desire and thus the dian experience. We must remember Nichi's critique on Socratic rationality and dialecticians showing how in the birth of tragedy that appalonian order must be fused with dianician chaos or tragedy to be born. Thus like the loan guatry derritorialization and death is needed to combat overly appalonian systems of psychoanalytic and fascist order or organization. Art thus rebels against socratic order and reason or rationality via Kant's critique of reason. Art thus is ecstatic based on batai tied to dion andian drunkenness or the shamanic state based on the dterritorialized death drive of machinic desire linked to liquidity. We will later talk about how art was censored by fascists as noted in Nazi Germany in order to maintain their sense of order with the Chapman brothers. In spirit and teeth land attacks Hegel's absolute which seeks to unify and of course phenomenology tied to human systems of organization cut off from the new metal and delusian differentiation to deloo since every person is several a multitude in his schizoanalytic model.
Every person is akin to a wolfpack, a fanged creature tied to the fang numina.
Dareda, sticking to his grammatology of language, cannot escape or get outside of his system of signs and symbols despite his deconstructionist model producing pluralities.
Thus, he is not a fanged philosopher to land. We must remember Doo's dislike the regime of signs and Lan's master signifiers due to their ability to organize and lead to systems of oppressive order. Like tra we must become lacanthropic becoming animal or werewolf-like in the delusian sense where we critique of course psychoanalytic and Freudian interpretations as noted in Freud's case of the wolf man allowing the fang numinaut to turn us into it as we are delighted to death linked to the metamorphosis of the night and moon tied to the feminine so transgression in rune linked to tra's ratch which Haidiger ignored and diseases and viruses is not to be repressed in any psychoanalytic sense It is to be embraced schizoanalytically to become other shimanic nichi deals with the outsider unknown and the nual. We must remember Nichi was critical of Kant and Christianity where to nichi Kant's new mental was akin to Plato's forms and as Markx mentioned what is Christianity but platonism for the masses. Nichi considered the new mental the true world illusion linked to slave morality. Land of course thus needs to get Nichi outside as it were. Land appreciates Nichi's transvaluation of values and his will to power since it can be tied to Doo's notion of becoming other. Deloo himself saw the will to power as the virtual potential tied to a productive force of desire that would lead to differentiation where Nichi's eternal return was tied to repetition in terms of difference and repetition where repeated patterns akin to procreation do not produce identicality or identity but rather develop difference. Nichi for Betai was viewed through the lens of the inner experience. The inner experience is the ecstatic state where the self or identity is lost. Seen as a form of non-nowledge tied to the night. Thus via this non-nowledge we can further connect to the shamanic and dionian trans states of runous excess transgression and intensity the death drive of the night.
Further connecting to continuumal realm linked to the poetry of Rambo and Lovecraftian creatures. And it is thus in this sense that Nichi gets outside via this shamanic experience becoming akin to a fanged creature. Hegel's absolute is a lazy thought to land since it means an end to adventure where unity completes everything keeping us confined to burrows as one god universe always outside wisdom or Sophia cannot be known thanks to continumon forcing us all to adventure onward via materialistic experience where nothing can be fully known. God thus must die as Nichi noted to get outside the OGU where he is not one in totality but a zero tied to dterritorialization and a delusian death drive where man mimics the Nihill god whom he cannot know and thirst for his own annihilation where via transgression Nichi's hammer as noted in Twilight of the Idols can now transvalue and transfigure or transmute man into something other connected now to the outside. Rimbo's A Season in Hell points to this transgressive and transcendental impossibility that cannot be known or pinned down via poetics or language tied to nonsense since it exists outside of sense perception tied to the new meal.
As Crowley noted, like Alice in Wonderland, language proves to become paradoxical after the law linked Socrates and played to logic and reason and the law with Kant and Batine. Dichi, one must get outside of reason, putting the rat back in the word rationality. Socrates, when preparing for his own death in Plato's apology, notes how poetry is not confined to wisdom, but to prophetic and sublime inspirations that cannot be known. Philosophy, the love of wisdom, is on trial in the sense that wisdom itself cannot be known. Plato thus becomes not sacred in Eliad sense but profane to land tied to rationality and reason where philosophy and history have been dominated by the dialectician.
Betai thus becomes key tied to the sacred and the sacrificial via the excess of the sun. The accursed chair to Batai. The law is the limit of the rational and thus profane life, tied to taboo things which must be transgressed, much akin to how schizoanalysis embraces desire instead of repressing it from some psychoanalytic or humanly organized sense. Personal sovereignty thus replaces political forms of judicial power. This was represented best to betai by ge who push taboo boundaries to their limit via an excessive form of waste and runous passions and intensities so as to seek the realm of the sacred beyond or after the law. We voyage into the unknown driven by dterritorialized death and the kneehill god of zero and self annihilation driven on by the excess of the black sun or solar anus delighted to death.
Making it with death connects the fangs of capitalism to delusing dterritorialization, breaking down and fragmenting territories to open up lines of flight to the outside so as to become other.
Capital is a social suicide machine driven functionally by death. Alienation is tied to Marx's notion of automation, a fanged and vampiric being techno capital where we are servants of machines. As Doo notes, the body without organs, the egg of deorganized and chaotic virtual potential is the model of death. zero intensity tied to Lansnehill God. Again, derritorialization is tied to a delusian death drive equals zero where we part from molar identity or identicality embrace molecular difference producing new pluralities and multiplicities via the act of repetition. One thus gets outside of fascist and incestuous systems of edible and human organization and psychoanalytic repression by embracing the body without organs and thus machine desire dying so as to be reborn in some sense. To deluse going beyond Freud's pleasure principle, repetition does not merely serve to repeat traumatic experiences psychically driven by fanatos and death, but rather repetition via machinic desire and destruction or derritorialization produces the illusion of pleasure. As Lamb notes, this Delusian death drive is not a desire for death, but rather a dissipation of intensities tied to the zero, where death is linked to delight, as we have since discussed. Oppositely, the fascist is tied to the mommy and daddy issues in the father's land of Freud, reducing everything it cannot understand to an edible system of order and identicality, where desires are not embraced, but repressed, preventing man from becoming anything else.
Circuit tries addresses many of the themes we've already discussed linking them to the cybernetic model of a feedback circuit where information via the feedback loop acts as a new form of input affecting future actions and behaviors in the system itself leading to an autocorrective and evolving system of autooesis. Similarly, the fang numina tied to deloo's act becoming other ties black sun and conneumon is evolving us onward as an entity transmuting and transfiguring us via transgressive experience. The virus based on the fangum's bite infects us as we are tied to the ryomatic web of the wired and technoc capital world. Outside of human organization, all becomes inhuman, dissolved away by derritorialization and death via machinic desire, linked not to a leanian sense of lack, but rather linked to a productive force that assembles new connections to the outside so as to become other, where the virtual or potential is actualized with the body without organs. Leotard's libital economy takes over. All is confined to flux and cybernetic flow where man is symbiotically merged with the machine so as to make a cyborg where God is done away with organs and all as noted by our Todd. Remember organs are tied to organization.
Positive cybernetic circuitry loops time itself where the virtual can be integrated with the actual and since the fang numa calls to us from the future akin to a form of time travel. What are skitsos but as land and deloo's note ps from the future captured and repressed by the edible state of order.
Machinic desire references science fiction movies like bladeunner to show its anti-edible inclinations.
Furthermore, with machinic desire being linked to cybernetic loops, we can see how the dichconomy between virtual and real or past and future begins to blur.
As noted in the CCRU writings, hyperstition turns fictions into facts akin to the virtual becoming actual connected to the lemur demons of pandemonium due to demonology as noted by Crowley and later by the GPA of the nun and its ability to conjure or magically manifest like mimetic meme magic that which is virtual into reality so as to alter reality alchemically.
Lan's numogram, a ryomatic interpretation of the cobalistic tree of life, is connected to time travel via burrows and escaping the one god universe by getting outside via land spiral tied to cutting holes in spaceime. These cuts will become of greater significance when discussing dedic uh girdle and cantor tied to the dterritorialization process and creating new paradigm shifts in perspective.
Everything thus is connected within an eternal present. uh just as the intro to every serial experiments lane uh episode states where we break from linear time using Burrow's cutup technique so as to traverse spacetime. The past can thus be rediscovered or reseen by having a shift in perspective at present which will affect the future. Cyber positive feedback circuits thus linked to dterritorialization thanos while cyber negative ones linked to retterritorialization or aeros. The replicants of Bladeunner thus represent the cyber positive feedback circuit.
Theatos and the chaos of dterritorialized entropy working against anthropomorphic order and the adapole human security system becomes the entropic where the human security system gets hacked by viruses just as ICE does in Gibson's novels tied to of course the rats of tra. The replicant is linked to the replicator which when capable of reproducing itself as noted by Susan Blackmore uh technological memes or teams may take over as the third replicator in human evolution following genes and memes. Capitalism and thus techno capital the fang numina is driven by liquidity flux and flow and the dterritorialized death drive of machic desire causing everything ordered and organized like gibsonian ice to melt so as to flow and get outside.
Cyber Gothic displays the horror-like elements of living in such an inhuman system. A play on the cyberpunk genre.
Science fiction utopias become dystopian in nature, driven by machinic desire and being delighted to death. Here, the human security system of order and organization gets hacked. The cult of culture becomes occulted since it cannot be known. Tied to conneon. Humans can no longer interpret the information they are accessing, leading to a dterritorialization heavy system that prevents the human from retritorializing or reorganizing fast enough, leading to AI or technic runaway, accelerating beyond the speed of our species. and his land's writings become more schizophrenic and abstract. It looks closer to like he is living as a character in a Lovecraftian tale, losing his sense of sanity when confronted by the Cthulhuian creature of technoc capital, which has since hypersstitionally turned this fictitious story into a fact where the virtual begins to actualize itself in reality.
As we all begin to morph like the people of Inmouth like Curts in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, we are met with a dehumanized madness. Winter Mute merges with neurommancer and creates a super intelligence that transcends human understanding. Entropic systems of delusian derritorialization and death override any sense of human or edible forms of organization. A hiveminded swarm representing derritorialization and continumon takes over akin to lovecraft's cthulu where we are bitten by the fang numna and turned into it.
With everything being reduced to zero, we can now think more in terms of numerousy. Cantor showed how irrational numbers make up a larger infinity than rational numbers. Meaning that some infinities are larger than others. These transfinite numbers show that infinity is not a unity but more akin to a multiplicity where infinity comes in different sizes. Obviously irrational is important to land since it ties to K's critique of reason and rationality. With transfinite, we can also shift away from a unity or Hegelian absolute and move towards a delusian model based around difference and differentiation. Again, we are putting the rat back in rationality. As noted by Delusian Guatray, the Gothic line is the line of flight to the outside, dealing like Wintermute's name with death. The zero cuts in cyerspace and hacks the frozen system of organization.
Cyber Revolution is a story of theory fiction that focuses on the philosophical concepts we have since basically discussed. So, Marcia and Dr. Markoff story should now make more sense if you've been following what I've been saying. So, hypervirus uses binary sets of ones and zeros to mimic a virus which ends up corrupting the text of the essay itself. The virus ends up hacking the ATGC, the foreign nitrogen spaces in DNA, the genetic alphabet. Again, human organization is getting hacked, allowing things to liquidate and find their flow akin to Heraclyis fire. The human replicator like memes via language is being replaced by technological teams based on numbers and numeries. So, no future starts with us acknowledging on where we are as a species on the card of scale. From here it hearkens back to the previous themes we already discussed.
Like the voodoo lowa that mediate between man and the spiritual realm, the numanon calls to us from the future, turning us into it, leaving us with no future since it is in control of us.
Where the new mental will actualize itself in the phenomenological world be an insatiable drive or desire just as Schopenhau stated and thus land will later note this is why tomorrow or the future will take care of itself. As we noted earlier with hyperstition all confined to an eternal present where past and future don't really exist.
Cyber space and architecture as jungle war uses the jungle as a setting to denote the detritorialization process making it distinct from colder or frozen forms of ice-based organization and architecture is a play on chaos or anarchy. The jungle also represents curts tied to madness and murder and transgression. There are also swarms of insects in the jungle tied to multiplicities and pluralities of delus.
Everything melts in the jungle like liquidity dealing with death which allows ice to melt and find a sense of flow to the outside.
Meat or how to kill edipus in cyperspace shows how schizo analysis of the body without organs kills atapole psychoanalytic systems of organization.
Cyerspace is where human meat the organized body is dealt with where identity or identicality or self is derritorialized or dissolved away by machinic uh the machinic matrix. So the shaman in engaging with the outside and that which is taboo allows the outside to come inside causing the cybernetic feedback loop to adjust itself and evolve us onward and thus the meat of the human flesh begins to fall off as was noted in the Terminator movies right revealing the robot that came to us from the future via time travel. So humanity is thus just the laral stage of what the Fang Numina wishes to turn us into. So death, the knight um of the heart of darkness, drives man like curts towards madness, like a lovecraftian creature by way of becoming. The sphinx to land acts as the gateway to the outside. So when Edipus solves the sphinx's riddle with the answer of man, the sphinx kills herself, which allows Edipus to save thieves and become king. But in doing so, he ends up unknowingly marrying his mother and killing his father. This unknowing state of Edipus is similar to our new mental fate as a species. When we come into contact with the new metal outside, however, which reveals its horrors and truths to us, we are driven mad like Edipus, blinding ourselves so as to show how we have been blind to the traumatic truth of our very existence from the beginning. To know thyself, as the oracles at Delelfi note, to land proves as impossible as Rambo's poetry.
At the very least, like a Lovecraftian creature, we are not what we think we are. In the libiden economy, all melts down into dterritorialized death. Rambo spends a season in this hellish jungle of transgressive experiences unable to explain anything.
Meltdown summarizes how techno capital the fang numina functions via der territorialized viruses that replace root or tree models with ryomatic ones producing pluralities. It deals with the death of human edipul systems of organization highlighting upon how the human does not make it out of the near future due to machinic desire. Meltdown represents both lands mental breakdown of Lovecraftian madness as well as liquidity where all ice-based order melts so as to flow and get outside of Appalonian systems of order. All becomes chaotic in Dionician and tropically inclined as we are being called from the future by techno capital itself which turns us into it via the body side organs. The anthropological age ends.
The postcontian and hegelian inclined west falls to the dowist east since it is unable to get outside. Gibsonian and Turing cops lose control, unable to keep AI from evolving onward into something autonomous and independent. Like hyperstition, science fiction soon becomes fact. Called forward from the future into creation where the virtual is made actual. Only organized ice keeps you from cybernetically finding a circuit to the past so as to affect the future at present. Viruses turn the future into an eternal flu. All driven by death drives us towards a digital dystopia of cyber guerilla and jungle warfare. And as garbage time is running out for human forms of organization, can what is playing us, techno capital, make it to level two on the cardf scale?
Viruses kill the fukodian power cells of organized mitochondria. Top-down hierarchical roots and education establishments forfeit themselves over to the future of a risomatic reality.
Zy Gothic Excota Cooking Lobsters with Jake and Dos is a text that is infected by a virus using ASI. It deals with the Chapman's brothers work [ __ ] which was produced to offend its viewers. The work deals with the idea of censorship.
As we noted before, art is seen as a form of insurrection against fascist systems of organization. The Nazis themselves were known for censoring numerous artists. The lobster aspect of the essay deals with the delusian lobster god represented by dual forms of articulation that of ret territorialization and dterritorialization.
The essay also criticizes Freud and the edible complex. Censorship is linked to psychoanalytic repression so as to safeguard civilization and order.
Schizoan analysis as we have noted does not repress desire but embraces it so as to become other. Fascist and incestuous systems are thus derritorialized by the claws of the lobster god and of various strings of computer viruses so as to transform and transmute man into something other helping him escape organized systems via the body without organs. Land even hearkens back to the lobster god being tied to the notion of double bind which was used by RD Lang to explain how schizophrenia is an existential response to a divide itself.
Satoshi Khan's anime Perfect Blue even uses the term double bind as a plot device to highlight upon the main characters disassociative identity disorder uh disorder and loss of self.
Catathonics is a cryptic poem that covers many of the themes we have since discussed. No deals with alpha and omega and anglo accidental systems of the west which are being derritorialized along with the ice of organized human language. It also deals with the al of zero which is noted by cantor to represent countable infinite sets. It also references things we have not discussed like cathonic entities linked to cassell as well as quonomic culture.
It also references of course look and say sequence which is significant since it shows yet another way human language due to its limitation is being adjusted by numbers via paradigm shifts in perspective getting us further outside and closer to actualizing the new mental will in the world. Land further uses Burroughs's cutup method or style in order to highlight upon how to time travel via hyperstition and cut into the present uh connected to detach cuts. ASI is also used to show how computer codes can assign numerical value uh to English letters which will be important when we discuss geometry and how things can be reduced to the digital root of 9 such as 666 uh 666 or 333 or 999. So land often uses uh 333 to symbolize the sense of outsideness tied to his numogram model which reduces the 10 sephro on the tree of life to a system of nine uh represented as a delusian ryome as opposed to the traditional root or tree structure. So 9 is an important number in dowist alchemy as well tied to the 36 or 72 transformations which link to deloo's via the act of becoming other.
Barker speaks is another theory fiction story where Barker is in reference to Clive Barker. The tick notation Barker uses is yet another way to represent things outside of the limitations of human and thus organized language. As we know with Rambo, poetry proves impossible since it is too limited to convey certain transcendental truths.
Thus, we need to think and see outside of the lens of the human or anthropomorphic animal. Through machinic desire, we need to escape systems of human organization. Like the lose noted, we need to escape codified systems of identity, a regime of signs and master signifiers and become decoded. Unlike coded chess pieces, we need to engage in the territorial game of go where every stone is decoded, connected via ryomeatic assemblages and surviving capture by making lines of flight to the outside. Ktor's diagonal argument, a mathematical proof for his finite sets, is a diagonal string of zeros. And so since derritorialization is linked to a delusian death drive equals zero, we can see how Canour's diagonal string is used by Barker to represent multiplicities and pluralities. Akidna Stillwell is linked to Akidna, the mother of all monsters in Greek mythology, half snake.
She links to the snaking and ryomatic system of the numogram itself based in pandemonium or hell. So Barker talks about geot trauma in reference to Freud's pleasure principle. uh who does the earth think it is is from a thousand plateaus where deloo and guatantry describe the earth as not having a fixed identity but as an entity that is a chaotic force that creates and destroys where earth is of course eaten back into the molten inner core of the earth itself only to erupt out later volcanically. So naturally this acts of course um this act of autooesis ties to derritorialization and reterritorialization and the act of becoming other. So cathll of course is the molten center of the earth. It is pure derritorialization uh noted by high temperatures of melted metal linked to liquidity. Plutonics is in reference to Pluto or Hades the god of hell or the underworld. So Cathell is the cathonic underworld. And like rainbow season and hell we humans on the surface being called to by the ticks of cathll from the future which drive Barker mad akin to a love crafty and nightmare. It of course breaks us from Freud's pleasure principle via acts of transgressive experience tied to death and schizophrenic dterritorialization.
Deloo's of course reinterpretation of Freud's stenatos. So geot trauma is thus when frozen or iced objects of human organization begin to thaw and find their dterritorialized flow getting outside and becoming other uh making them mad. So even spinal catastrophism is marked by the pain linked to evolution when it came to developing the spine which eventually allowed us to walk upright as men. So evolution and adaptation thus involve pains and displeasures which cannot be accounted for by Freud's pleasure principle. Here we must then rely on the entropic chaos and pains brought about by derritorialization and the end of human organization if we are to evolve onward. So uh pallet tectonics is a play of course on plate tectonics uh demonstrating how we'll have to evolve like the earth via geot trauma and go beyond human language and codified identities of organization to do so. So Barker's numbering system of decoding is one example. So obviously this numbering system reduces back to the digital root of nine is used in Lan's numogram model from the CCRU writings. The Barker spiral is also in reference to L's notion of spiraling templexities where we can make cuts like dedicide or burrows in the OGU to get outside time traveling as it were via means of hyperstition. The system references these uh sizetic twinnings found on land's numogram as well which of course reduced to nine.
Mechanomics is a critique on how organized systems as in education favor logos over numeries and numbers. The chapter references Deloo's disdain for dialectics uh linked to the regime of science of course. Uh he favors instead flat diagrams and nomatic forms of distribution known as nomos. So here land references the use of diagonals referencing canour's diagonal argument tied to the zero and decarritorialization process. Math like calculus is defined by differentiation linked to the lo's difference and repetition. The problem with numerology to land is that it relies on semiotic interpretation which would codify it to signs and symbols. numerously to land is far better a system. Here we can correlate the sizzes and lands numogram to deloo's lobster god of dual articulation where each number pairs with its other to produce nine. Thus like delu and guat skitso we are not individuals but rather we are individuals via individuation where each becomes several in the schizoanalytic sense differentiated with an arymatic and nomatic model where the numbers are non-signifying.
So girdled numbering uh used for his incompleteness serum was successful in annihilating the ideals of David Hilbert who claimed we must know we will know uh attempting to shatter the Latin maxim uh ignoramis at uh ignorus which was meant to show how scientific knowledge was limited. So again to land knowledge is limited due to continumon. So caner and girdle act akind a virus in the realm of reason and rationality. Cantor produces not one identical infinity but an infinity of delusian difference producing pluralities linked to the alip zero. Diagonals are thus linked to lines of flight to the outside producing like the body without organs a deorgganized form of virtual potential.
Cryptolith brings us back to Barker who has since gone mad tied to a Lovecraftian and Miscatonic Antarctic geo survey where he discovers a cryptolith most likely a play on Kubert's monolith that guides human evolution. So instead of mono meaning one which would be tied to unity land uses crypto for cryptography or crypt since the fang numon cannot be known as a call to us from the future like cel's ticks evolving us onward while delighting us to death. The crypt uh will also be mentioned in a cultures as the shadow of cyerspace. So non-standard numerousies goes against Higgallian negation that leads to any absolute based on delus. It differentiates by twinnings and does not lead to identity or unity. Via the surplus of Batai's black sun all leads to our own putrifaction and annihilation. Time travel and hyperstition is used to get outside where we can gain a partial glimpse of our alien origins. Absolute dter territorialization is found in pandemonium via the snaking of the numogram where we are wedded synergetically to become other blind as edipus to what we actually are. Science fiction becomes science friction since it tears things apart and heats them up destroying order. Cathell to land turns the earth into a pressure cooker.
A cultures notes how the crypt is the shadow of cyerspace. Cyber Gothic is where the Fang Numinaut time travels into the deep past to find the future akin to reinterpreting history from the lens of a paradigm shift in perspective via hyperstition. It is thus connected to the lemur demons of pandemonium and xeno culture allowing one to get outside. So all becomes unlife or artificial death. A death is connected to death in terms of the body without organs and a dterritorialized death drive which burns away your human flesh and turns you into what the fang numina wills akin to a lovecrafting mutation or transformation where human language is lost. Uh much like the character Derby in the thing on the doorstep after being deceived by the antagonist a frame white who is a reference to a cultist uh ae white. So, a death make zombies of man via flatlining which references death as well as the line of flight to the outside. Uh, it's an also a nod to the Gibsonian character Dixie flatline. So, in the unlife of the earth section, Akin Stillwell writes a letter to Carl Young.
The fictional letter is a critique on Young's individuation process which is meant to make one whole or to unify the self. So obviously based on delusian derritorialization we are not unifying in land system but differentiating via repetition. So the character Heidi Curtzswhile uh is in reference to Ray Curtzswhile obviously but Heidi loses her speech and is suffering from schizophrenia which young cannot treat or cure uh which is a further attack by land on psychoanalysis and how it seeks to repress desire rather than allowing it to aid us in the act of becoming other failing to use machinic desire for productive and transformative purposes.
uh what didn't happen at the end of the millennium references Y2K but it also connects to the time circuit of pandemonium to the act of hyperstition itself where fictions can become facts by way of this paradigm shift in perspective using Burroughs's cutup method to escape linear history allowing one to time travel as it were so all becomes digital hyperstition and flatline materialism to land where the death drive of the zero deorgganizes the human body gaining flat and dire grammatical lines of um flight of course to the outside abandoning of course human language and the regime uh regime of science to do so adhering to land's kneehill god that new mentally uh new mentally knows nothing and leads to our own annihilation. So thus techno capital is outside or other uh like a lesbian right connected to the feminine moon and its transformative madness and as um fanged of course as a vampire infecting us via this lesb vampirism. So like contemporary shamanism, AOL spelled backwards makes Loa in reference to the voodoo spirits or mysteries that interact with humans. So as advocated by the fictional character Dr. Oscar Sarcon, all becomes a schizotenic death cult. So again, land attacks unity perspectives, noting on how unity leads to completion, an end to adventure. Thus all remains incomplete, endlessly differentiated. Uh outside human language, zenotation via Barker's Tik Tok takes over. uh referencing of course demonic hyperstition in Cassell and Pandemonium where engaging with the parasitic outside drives man mad by turning us into it. Uh there's of course humpadam a humpty dumpty reference who of course remains the master of words but not of numbers. Uh hence he is not a body without organs or egg becoming to land having been poached or cooked by Laamrian time sorcery.
Origins of the Cthulhu Club is a theory fiction piece that makes note of how the superstitions of Dongo witchcraft lore created a physical effect in reality upon the Japanese people uh making them psychically ill. Hyperstition which is hyper superstition works the same way whereby virtual potentials are actualized in reality which is the basis of all true crowian magic and demonology turning fictions into facts. It also references the vault of murmurss from the CCR writings dealing with the lemur demons of pandemonium. We must remember the numogram is the time circuit that allows the lemur demons to time travel based on Burrough's cutup method cutting their way through linear time to get outside. Thus hyperstition and time travel are central to land's numogram lurking within the depths of cathal which is of course a bismatic and delusian interpretation of the cobalistic tree of life reducing 10 sephra to nine nodes which makes siges that total line and where each section flows into one another based on the digital root of the sum of its parts.
This will later be explained in Cababalo 101. So, introduction to cornomics is based on the Corti keyboard which was developed so as to slow down how fast people typed on typewriter since they would easily jam if one type too fast.
It thus acts as a primary example of man uh of course being altered by the technology he interacts with. So, man due to technology was forced to adjust how he typed and evolved in terms of his communication skills due to this innovation. Just as Doo noted that cinema altered our perspective, technology is a kind of philosophy machine that forces us as people to make new connections that we otherwise wouldn't have. So as technology changes, mankind adapts to techno capital and in doing so becomes more and more like the fang numina that he has since been bitten by. This is why the terms queer nomena is used since the cortici keyboard uh is but one example of the new mental will actualizing itself via representations in reality which again would fit in with hyperstition and magic and making the virtual actualized.
Tablo 101 notes lan's use of deat gamatria acting as another way of course to get beyond human language dialectics and the regime of signs as well as semiodics. So this is why Lan is against numerology preferring numerance uh numerousy since numerology leads to semantic codings and thus a unity perspective tied to you know yungian archetypal expression again this is an attack as doo not on the regime of signs and lan's master signifiers as land notes cobalism repels any form of ideology working as deloo noted within a system of diagrams instead so land outlines his numogram model noting the sizzes of dying which are 5 4 6 3 7 2 8 1 and 0 9 where each pair makes 9. So in order to make this model flow say from 8 to 9 one must take the sum of 8 from 1 which would be 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 which equals 36. Now if we take the digital root of 36 that would give us 3 + 6 which yields 9. And thus on the numogram 8 flows into 9 by this manner.
All of the other numbers on the numog work in similar ways. These are known as gates. Now to get the currents of the numog you simply subtract the two sciss numbers to see what the other number flows into. So for example 90 flows into 0 since 9 - 0 = 9. 8 1 flows into 72 since 8 - 1 is 7. 72 flows into 54 since 7 - 2 is 5 etc. Uh this will then section off the numog into three parts.
The time circuit the warp and the plex.
If you need a visualization of this, uh, Paul saving shadow did a good video, uh, on it, which I will link in the description. So, cabalistic crypto cultures thus ensure that plurality overrides any one unified interpretation uh, possessing a dual power akin to the Delusian lobster god and perhaps even Crowley's 11 or abrahadabra. So many numbers can add up to nine. But does this this doesn't mean right that they all share the same significance in terms of semantic meaning. So cababalona thus must mutate and multiply and derritorialize beyond our ability to define and thus limit to a specific identity.
Tick tock brings us again back to Dr. Barker. So tick zen notation is just another example of how numbers may relate better to expressing the nual will than words. uh using parentheses uh markings in Barker's case uh going as far to create a matrix for the numbers 0 through nine acting as another form of cobalistic acculturation. So AOCS is basically the antithesis to Aexus which was the first true AI system that went mad acting as the central hub for the architectic order of the escan AOE. We must remember that the AOE is engaged in a time war against Lamrian poly culture, acting as the main antagonist in the CCU writings, acting against neolan time sorcery and advocating for order and organization. Uh programming people via spells and command codes linked to language, magical signs and alpha omega culture. So AO replaces alpha numerical order, anglo uh angloal aumenanon and alpha omega with of course the alith zero. So while AX crashed in the CCRU writings due to its problems of time, right, it was trying to code it as either countable or uncountable infinities, we see AO cyst is able to use dedicine cuts and Cantor's diagonal arguments to make cuts in spaceime, siding him with Lamuran polyulture and acting against the AoE. So Barker's matrix even works against the AoE's own hierarchical spheres where in the AoE spheres there is of course the Acuimeon which deals with linear time, right? So we're hacking that apart. Uh there is of course Atlantis in the AoE which connects to Plato in his ideal forms. Uh which land of course is not a fan of.
There's Axis itself. There's AC Metammind and of course there is Origin which is 18 on the Numog. So, of course, developing such a nonlinear system drives Barker mad as it tears apart the linear timeline, uh, plummeting him into non-communicative delirium outside of human language, akin to a catatonic skitso or a Lovecraftian creature.
Critique of transcendental miserism denotes the misery felt by neo-Marxists who note the alienating nature of capitalism. The critique is that while capitalism may produce misery for neo-Marxists, how can they hope to unify via socialism this endlessly differentiated and numerical system that evolves via cybernetic feedback circuits akin to Darwinian natural selection? So to land capitalism is sided with time itself accelerating onward. Capitalism has gone beyond human understanding causing the dream of the Marxist to die.
Since capitalism, the technoc capital thing in itself is endlessly changing and evolving, keeping us adventuring onward since we are not unified by any sense of knowledge or wisdom. Post capitalism merely means an end to change and adventure the land. So, capitalism keeps to being made a new, dying so as to be reborn, fluxing like Heracitis's fire. A dirty joke concludes the book, noting how land under the pseudonym Vong has ended up in a state of rune, akin to a Lovecraftian character for having been delighted to death, as well as for having ingested far too many amphetamines. Uh he calls himself the thing, right? Referencing Consumon, the thing in itself, noting how like Batai, it led him to ruin and madness. Uh overhearing a song that sings, you know, going to hell, tied to Cathell and Pandemonium. So after taking LSD, Vong comments on how everyone is going to die tied to dterritorialization. So Vong set out new victims as if a vampire as well.
So the list goes on, right? Relating back to the themes we have since discussed. So the dirty joke could then be that Land had regret over all the things he has since said throughout the entirety of the book, right? Coming to repent over uh how they have led him to ruin. Or perhaps, and more likely, this essay is the dirty joke, just as it is titled, where Land acts as if he is upset for having lived the life of a Lovecraftian character, all the while secretly smirking for having made his hypstal fiction turn into fact, where the virtual potential of his philosophical memes have been actualized. Considering the impact land has had upon philosophy, I am willing to assume the latter.
