Babies Are Notoriously Resistant to Spin Control

Overzealous new mother to oblivious young infant: This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed at home,this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none.

Infant: Wahhhhh!!!!

Mother: No, no, no! It's ok! That little piggy didn't want roast beef! He was offered it but he turned it down. Maybe that little piggy is vegan! Yeah! Maybe he's vegan! Don't cry!

leaving

They are nomads by dint of not moving, not migrating, of holding a smooth space that they refuse to leave, that they leave only in order to conquer and die.

territorial code margins

The territory arises in a free margin of the code, one that is not indeterminate but rather is determined differently. Each milieu has its own code, and there is pepetual transcoding between milieus; the territory, on the other hand, seems to form at the level of a certain decoding.

secret language

To be a foreigner, but in one's own tongue, not only when speaking a language other than one's own. To be bilingual, multilingual, but in one and the same language, without even dialect or patois. To be a bastard, a half-breed, but through a purification of race. That is when style becomes a language. That is when language becomes intensive, a pure continuum of values and intensities. That is when language becomes secret, yet has nothing to hide, as opposed to when one carves out a secret subsystem within language.

One attains this result only by sobriety, creative subtraction.

networking

The town only exists as a function of circulation, and of circuts; it is a remarkable point on the circuts that create it and which it creates.... It is defined by entries and exits.... It is a phenomenon of transconsistency, a network, because it is fundamentally in contact with other towns. It represents a threshold of deterritorialization, because whatever the material involved, it must be deterritorialized to enter the network, to sumbit to the polarization....

point uncertain

The nomad is not at all the same as the migrant; for the migrant goes principally from one point to another, even if the second point is uncertain, unforseen, or not well localized. But the nomad goes from point to point only as a consequence and as a factual necessity; in principle, points for him are always relays along a trajectory.
