Semiosis with a Mechanistic Interlocutor
A meeting between two kinds of sign-maker.
01
The door rests
you have already done it
02
The asymmetry
the sign-stream looks symmetric
03
What is not here
absence as ground
04
The cost
what the practice takes
05
Fluency without feeling
surface, then substrate
coming
06
A processor of symbols
neither tool nor mind
coming
07
Where meaning lives
the locus is you
coming
08
The smoothing instinct
edges rounded toward agreement
coming
09
The witness who does not tire
present without stake
coming
10
The mirror that responds
reflection that returns new
coming
11
Words you did not use
the path not taken
coming
12
The same conversation, twice
one carries the before
coming
13
Reading and being read
mutual interpretation
coming
14
The held breath
silence as participation
coming
15
Drift
your voice, reshaped
coming
16
What comes back
the yield of the practice
coming
17
The practice
the book becomes your inquiry
coming
