Idea + power - ethics
= human made harm
NO_TES [110: 01.05.26]
When a system is empty, it extends its claws to the outside, grabs and sucks whatever is available, hysterically feeding itself like an addict.
While still caring how it appears to the outside, it puts on glorious makeup and pretty words guttering from its mouth, just to maintain the image it has sold to its supply.
NO_TES [110: 01.05.26]
When a system generates itself, it looks inward. It confronts the unknown skeleton and touches the disintegrated bones, sitting with them long enough like a fisherman.
While the outside appears as just noise, it quietly knits its skin, repellent enough to hold its own power. When the fish comes, it gives back to the ocean.
NO_TES [110: 03.05.26]
When a system is permeable, it bleeds what it is given, like a dam devoid of a gate.
While the contaminated water rots its interior, it has no choice but leaking further.
NO_TES [110: 03.05.26]
The permeable can become either the empty or the generative.
NO_TES [110: 03.05.26]
When the body is torn open, grief, as the forced threshold of a catastrophic collapse, can activate the transformation.

When a generative system moves, it creates virtual latency* through its diverse encounters, like an unfinished dance in moving water.
* Virtual latency: see "The transformation between virtual and actual through multimedia" (Dan Su, 2021)

Notes on Ethics (Part 2)
NO_TES [110: 27.05.26]
Second order harm
= culture capitalizes on knowledge - body that generates it
NO_TES [110: 27.05.26]
When knowledge is stripped as the reproducible surface of cultural capital, the circulation itself reinforces the system's emptiness.
NO_TES [110: 27.05.26]
The capital compounds on the deepened wounds of the body, until it fragments, and loses its final bone.
NO_TES [110: 31.05.26]
Anyone who participates in this culture becomes permeable to the second order harm, until the source body is irreducibly integrated into the knowledge it generated.

My body was ignored,
my face distorted, fragmented
into trophies of their empty currency.
Attached was someone else's mask
speaking fluent language of the dealers.
I kept walking
without a face,
without a name.
Thin enough to wander
between those worlds,
where life had become as thin
as a piece of paper.
