  Hello and welcome to the final session of Quernomics Path Dependency and Semiotic Fatality with Nick Land. Here he is. Oh, can you hear me? Yes, yes. I sort of suddenly lost video quality, but I don't think anything disastrous has happened. Can you still hear me? Yeah, you're loud and clear. Yeah. Okay, that's great…

  So, as I've mentioned,真的很 important to have an object-真的很 important to have an object- 真的很 important to have an object- 真的很 important to have an object- 真的很 important to have an object- system considered. So on the diagram we can see any consistent series of envelopments that happen on that correspond to a term…

  That's sort of, is that the articulation of two senders, or is it more necessarily more complex than that? You don't have to just like lead us off on a, you know, 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15…

  So I'm gonna skip to... No, I couldn't. I couldn't. I had to go. Yes. I mean, and then, I guess, that kind of leads to other... Like, a question that maybe kind of connects back with Jake's question about what the plane of consistency is and how it's connected to time. Yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So…

  But outside the strata, the Earth is always absolutely deterritorialized. In those terms, sort of like going to the Earth there, which I mean, a lot of people in the literature pointed out is a difficult thing for below-singletary, because of course, the literal physical Earth is not absolutely deterritorialized. You…

  Well it's kind of, or one way is that it's kind of this question of the, you know, the archive, what kind of message is it to aliens? Again, it's because you take this path-dependent coding that like, you know, derives its structures of meaning from a context which includes this plane of consistency. And then…

  about this intensive axis, you know what I mean? It's like a... It only appears like that because we're applying this kind of strata, geometric... geometric conception on it from where we are on the surface. And it's a kind of topological error to see it. I think I saw people talk about this maybe right…

  I hope people have my contact details if they want to send things down other channels. And so have a good Yule, everybody, if I don't communicate with you before. It's been great. Super. Thanks, everyone. Okay, bye-bye. Thank you.
