Physics tells us, absolutely, that nothing is code, because code
is always already hollowed out; the network skein only works to
a certain extent - gatherings, puckerings, allowances on the
highest level - the vacuum energizes, seethes - just one look at
the Webb or Hubble results, your binoculars will do - it's
useless to think systems after systems - we need more than ever
a _phenomenology of the inconceivable_ - without concepts -
without attempted circumlocutions, circumambulations - or
mysticisms of any sort - none of these - none of the none -
continuing and abandoning furtherance simultaneously - your eyes
will do - the phenomenology of your eyes - or listenings perhaps
- whatever can be done - a phenomenology of abandonment - in
both senses - abandoning oneself to this - abjuring such - as if
- as if - as if there _were no metaphors,_ _were no metaphor,_
no metonymy's - as if Vaihinger's as if were - as of the Vedas -
vedas - picture this, picture that - not _what is to be done_ -
but _what is - all is - to be undone_ - neither zen nor zen -

- no phenomenology at all -
