Faithful
Affixt Enactivist — Box Set
Music understood as a radical form of qualitative theory which reaches beyond the confines of human language, including mathematics: music too displays a logical independence, an unprovability despite its truth. Music makes possible new admissions/transmissions of the insufficiency of self, personhood, observation, science, and philosophy; as an ideal generic science, music communes with the concept of the generic itself which:
“operates by extracting a minimum invariant from the various scientific disciplines…these invariants have to be superposed, to be introduced as theoretical givens into the mode of superposition: the materials of science or philosophy are thus to be supplied to a material, conceptual formalism, i.e. they are themselves to be put into the mode of superposition as vectors, that is, into the context of generic science, which operates with the (vectorial) notion of wave rather than with notions such as corpuscle and point”
Music as generic science, with its vectorial notion of wave, is both sensible and mimetic: what we see or hear in music is ineliminably tied to what we do, to our own bodily awareness of sensed waves. Music as generic science has to operate in such a way as to produce more complex results than the materials it uses from science and philosophy, if it is to develop its own undulatory, superposed practice—music can produce deeper complexity from any and all materials chosen in any composition, by superpositioning its vectors, as waves. Thereby, music provides a complementary image of the Real, a cloning of that which is foreclosed to understanding in all human languages, formal sciences, and interpretations: its genericity of scientific output unites where all other languages can only divide. The subject of musical truth is the subject who can subtract themself from the given state of the situation, leaving behind and adhering to the deviating vector of an event, with this event understood as the withholding of human decision, rather than the realization of it.

Constant-Pattern Solutions
In terms of modality, firstness is associated with possibility, secondness with actuality, and thirdness with necessity. It is illuminating to think these categories through the question of constant-pattern solutions since they are indeed directly related to the difficulty of discriminating change across a sensory continuum. It should firstly be acknowledged that the categories are not to be thought as discrete and sequential operations, but are methodological divisions that are so general, vague, and indeterminate that they do not even amount to conceptions but evanescent ‘tones or tints on conceptions’. The categories themselves are thus below the difference limens.

Did you know? Did you really know? I can’t believe you don’t know! I dare you to show me a way that you can know that there’s a way to know that you can be sure that you can win at life! Don’t be afraid if this doesn’t seem like your kind of thing! The opposite of mathematics is pure love, and you can quote me on that – big time! And the only authentic way to engage with the deep time of evolutionary biology is through eating hot spices – they are meant to scare off dinosaur predators, and so one gets very scared. Like in a horror film – neurokinetic kickflips over consensus reality, livestreamed first and buried in the ground second – to ward off dinosaurs. Something growing in the face, the thing that is the ultimate precondition for intensity. Sound music is the sweat on the forehead of the bellhop at the pearly gates – the temperature is rising there, just like here, which David Attenborough won’t mention.
Everyone is supposedly overconnected today in the world. What? Well actually we are more likely underconnected. What? A grenade explodes in the Twitch stream we are all watching. You are a dumbass. What? What you said doesn’t make any sense. What? What do you mean? We are authentically connecting with people probably less than is probably good for us. The shooter in the first person shooter stands in a room in a destroyed church’s crypt. He’s hiding and then gulps down a potion. I don’t give a fuck. Sure, yeah totally, except you definitely do because why else would we be watching this stream. Because it’s funny. You don’t like jokes? All this, to ward off dinosaurs.

Standards Of Beauty
In my mind, Standards of Beauty refers to the restrictiveness of Western/European standards of Beauty and the alternative realities and narratives that exist either indifferent to or defiant of them. It refers to the feedback loops that occur between those standards and their counterpoints, where the standard’s inverse is fetishised. I’m thinking of existence in a weird universe within all of that- being told I wasn’t black or white enough pretty much my whole life. Where is the standard there?
This record is my alternative reality
