Decay
What does happen to the body of an object in decay?
by Basilisk
Unlike the heroic views on decay, considering decomposition as a process of
'naturalization', 'utter disappearance and destruction', 'deliverance' or
'rebirth' whose ultimate aim is a kind of libidinal (and in the same track,
economic) domestication and appropriation, decay is an artificializing process
spreading its septic distributions of matter/energy under the milieus of Nature
and undermining them. In no way does it wipe out or terminate, on the contrary
it keeps alive: it is where the rotting process separates itself from the
devastating warmachines of termination, mayhem, terror,
annihilation, tragedy and violence, but never
abandons them; it undermines them, mutates them, brings them to where there is
no hot power (Puissance= p) in production or that is
to say neither it introduces Power (puissanceas in
La Volonté de puissance) into erasure and utter eradication (p ≠ 0; or
the solidless nihil) nor refreshes it [1].
It colds them down by putrefying Power, namely, the fuel by which
the lines of mayhem and termination are metabolized and try to infringe this
metabolism (transgressing Power?). It does cold them down by making Power
undefined, darkened and blotted out; by depositing p
(Macht) over the nihilistic Zero (p∕
0): not wiping it out to disappearance or dissolving it to Zero, quite opposite
keeping it for snuff and decomposition, taking a necrophilic [2]
experience out of it; marring it on the virtual surfaces of zero to be rotten
and reeked up: 'sucking death from the living without falling into the black
transparency of total disappearance or Death' which means Mess. Decay introduces
power to the mis-adventures of matter; ... and earth is the adventures of decay.
All encounters with the cold-core(s) of Death or Life result in contamination,
plague, base-necrophilia and snuff, possession and cold-burning experiences
poisoning one for all eternity [3]; one is thrown
beyond Death and Life as the equilibrial states, is introduced to an anonymity
far from the economical processes of dying and living that is to say a mess
through which life and death proliferate and slime each other [4].
Everything succumbs to both yield and withstand before such an
inter-dimensional catastrophe. There is no deliverance for one who runs into the
cold-core(s) of life or death, whether by dying or living; one's matter becomes
a lab plate on which base-necrophilia / participation and communication are
germinated. This is the convoluted, compositional and terminal space of
blindness dissipating its curtains across the coastlines which lead to the naked
oceans of Death; there is no flight for one who is introduced to this labyrinth
or blindness neither to the oceans of death nor to the terrains of live-ing (The
only flight is a cataflight [5]) ... and there is no
way to find out if one has slipped to the ocean or not. It is
where the land and the ocean, space and matter and one along with all it
carries skip the horizon (whether in life, death or existence) and jump to an
anonymity that both death and life find repugnant but affirm through the
strategic ways. Vaporized in the vaginal depths of anonymity, one, bits by bits,
is laid bare to mess, proliferation, plague, septic peace, venereal alliance,
facelessness, base-necrophilia, river blindness (the river which was supposed to
dissolve into the ocean), possession, snuff, cosmic contamination and all fluent
rots murmuring taste your mortality while erasing
all routs to Death.
Speaking of blindness, one should not mistake it for the condition of cecity
and sightlessness; it is the blindness of excess in sight and the colors
achromatized in coldness, not to black and white but to the colors with
proliferated coordinates, conditions and spectra ... cancerous, cold and
feverish like tropical diseases: Green of jungle, light brown of your eyes ...
Persian blue of a corpse ... darkness. [6]
Auto-collapse: Planting puissance on the cold
zero is the mechanism of decay (p/0); it is also the
collapse or unground from which Snuff, Necrophilia and Asiatic horror emerge
without genesis. [7]
Then, how does the rotting process put the puissance over the Asiatic zero to
mess it up? The answer lies on its delirium to spew dimensions and cancerous
attitude toward metron [8],
proliferating everything it touches, feeding on the terminal tactics of
malignancy, softness, sleazy germinations, vermiculation and malicious mimics of
'living' and survival economy to necrotize the
object while keeping it alive for proceeding its cold-workings when the object
has no idea of what is going on: the Absolute Peace of Decay. [9]
Decay crisscrosses death and germinates its own headless kingdoms, all
'anonymous, cold-core, desolated, toxic and peaceful.' Decay always casts
shadows over everything it touches, a shadowgraphic machine.
The ironic and loathsome mechanism of decay is always at work to both keep
alive and snuff. By proliferating and working on dimensions (it affirms
dimensions.), decay estranges itself from both nature and 'the natural' since it
diverges from the immense formlessness of nature
that abhors the dimensions, standards, scales, metrons
and measures from which systems, territories, and assemblages are put together,
fabricated and posed; so it starts exactly from which nature abhors: dimension
and metron as the matrixes and the frameworks of
Power, as the linkages by which institutions, productions and the modes of power
are interconnected and secured within each other, extending themselves across
the space of 'Live-ing' or the economicaland
parsimonious 'art of surviving', survival economy. From the outset to the
end, the rotting process deals with dimensions and metrons,
fouling up (but not purge) everything dimensional to no end (what is the end in
the sense of decay?). Not all this means that decay undertakes the 'Will of
Nature' and its crazy capital by vitiating dimensions and metrons; but it
unfolds through the artificiality of dimension (messing them) and
metron and sinks into the anonymity of dimensionality wreckage or demonic
solid (corpse of solidus [10]) ... if earth is the
compositional adventures of decay, then what is natural in the sense of the
Earth (the Artificial Earth)?. The naturalistic or naturistic views always miss
decay as the inexorable machinery of becoming imperceptible: exposed before the
vitriolic mouth of 'Anonymity'.
Decay rots judgment as a primal strategy; ... rotting metrons, dimensions,
scales, ...
It is a dreadfully paranoid / oedipalized cognitive blueprint (envisioned
hygienically on an anthropomorphian construction; utopia?) to incorporate or
consolidate Death and Decay, each as the perfectionist supplement of the other
... there is a fundamental horror gapping in cogito toward decay process that is
disloyal even to the most abject landscapes of coldness and cruelty, scavenging
death upon the blight, playing the role of a renegade to death; even Deleuze and
Guattari with their staggering insights into schizotechnics(Nick
Land) fall into this fundamentally paranoid but grotesque and cryptic
consolidation / domestication: "a powerful odor of decay and death" [Deleuze &
Guattari, Anti-Oedipus] ... it is a medicinally sweet odor of a sterilized
ground on which death and decay are, paranoiacally, Capitalized as One.
Plunged into the fungoid oceans of decay, dimensions and
metronsare deteriorating under the cold-core machine of rot. 'Too
dimensioning' is the strategy of this machine. Through the rotting process,
everything is disintegrated; this is a way of 'too dimensioning' and
proliferating metrons, as
disintegration is a terminal tactic to breed more
and more dimensions, spawning more and more measures, micro-scales,
metronic cells, molecular patches of matter/energy entangled blindly,
labyrinthine nexuses of dimensions, hyper-complex dimensionalities and wasteful
dumps of metrons paralyzed to work in such a mess, such a vermiculate excretion.
(To this extent, speaking of local decay is a premature discourse.) Decay
appears as scarring and cancer, a metastatic tissue sliming the organs to the
defunct coils of softness; or fibrosis in which an organ goes awry by excessive
scarring (dimensions through dimensions ... through dimensions prodigally),
losing its functions and rotting alive ... a scarring face fading out to black
... continuing the scene on the swelling up pixels. (Isn't blistering a visual
spoof of decay, a hoax of initiation? But decay is already there.)
Decay is the imminent multiplicity and qualitative motions to all
compositions (solids and void, etc.), an ungrounding process (strategy) which
lays openness to the compositions by the vermiculation (as of the motions of a
coil of worms) of dimensions and composites through each other to the point of
an irresistible softness. Decay makes the compositions affirm [11]
each other not at the level of being open but rather
being, lacerated and laid open [12] (being opened).
Vermiculation, also, extends the movements as far as they can mutate, and
engineer the new becomings, and more. Decay is the life
of the architectures and compositions through and on an epidemic
affirmance and not affordance [13] and survival economy.
However, the disintegration that rotting process introduces to an object is
not a regular disintegration [14] as of separation
into component parts, fragments, an atomization, a segmentation or an
inverse-segmentation; it is a non-fragmentary disintegration in which everything
is kept intra-connected exorbitantly, so gooey and soft that rejecting the
wasteful bonds with the others (openness) is inevitable and impossible
(integration is impossible because of this super-soft compos-ition and the
wasteful bonds which infest the Whole and its economical bonds). A mucous
continuity in disintegration. The Soft disintegration of decay softens and
disintegrates by opening everything to each other, letting the 'hard' exists
through the Soft. In decay, compositions are engineered through this soft
disintegration and not integration. Should it be discussed that decay does not
start from softness or the soft parts; it sucks
softness from the hard or in another sense making the hard
an infested factory for breeding a Softness which again is anonymous even to the
formlessness of nature, an artificial and compositional softness engineer
through the tactical multiplicities of affirmation and openness. Once again,
this softness or soft disintegration is not the disintegration by breaking up
the solid into controlled parts (analyzed partiality) or new solids,
re-modifying the bonds of solidity but an epidemic lysis by opening everything
to each other, proliferating the dimensions of solid, possessing solidity to
spoil itself not to death but overhealth [15].
(Corpses look too artificial. Of course, they are;
... the earth too.) The soft disintegration does not deliver the object and its
architecture to their basic elements or nature (the horizon of purity, 'from ash
to ash' or 'dust to dust' [pulvis ad pulverem]
exploited by all monotheistic cultures and the State), a process through which
deliverance or salvation are expected; it simply deviates them to something
basically deranged, a mess beyond re-modifying bonds of solidity but capable of
mutating to anything, even solid ... a mess external to the recycling and
economical functioning formulae but dangerous as it can mutate and spawn mess;
infesting the horizon of solidity (In decay, there is no return to nature,
constituents, the basic elements, or anything else; it is all affirmation of
anonymity.). Not only solidity is introduced to decay but also liquid and GAS;
but the latter uses the ultimate decay as a life through which everything is
reeked up: GAS ... plastic spirit. Artificiality of Chemistry (alchemy) begins
with decay.
Stripped before the mess agents of decay, one can always ask, "Isn't thought
a gaseous rot?" ... the question reverberates cancerously through the fetid air.
The resistance toward 'decay' is both futile and fertile. But then, what is
fertility in the sense of the resistance toward decay? There is a yawning horror
in this question.

[8] On metron, see: Pestis Solidus,
especially endnote 3:
Metron (Greek origin), hidden in the English words such as
Dimension (from dimetiri:
measure out), meter, etc. With a prominent reference to the famous
doctrine of Pythagoras, "Man is the metron of everything" (pantôn chrematôn
metron anthrôpos), metron can be translated as Scale, Measure, Standard, and
Value. According to Sextus Empiricus metron expresses
criterium (scale, measure) but as seen by Heraclitus and Sophocles, it
certifies dominance, a domination over something.
Therefore, metron indicates that both measures and dimensions (whether as in
critique of power or grund) inter-connect with
Power, Justifying, Reasoning and the Philosophy or the Sciences of
grund. The critique of metron diagrams how dimensions (namely metron)
bring the Power into effect, then, mobilizing and propagating it through the
autonomous fields of metornic fluxes or pseudo-flux (see
Pestis Solidus; it also shows how metron has been established as the
ultimate fluxional machinery (dynamism) of power, solidity and their
productions in all planes, as a (re-)animator. Additionally and more
significantly, it discusses metron (both in its flexible and rigid attitudes)
as an invisible (and extremely complex) work-ground on which Solidity and
Power overlap each other and dissolve into the hydraulic grid of circulatory
metrons or genesis (Genesis project) or 'Survival Economy' through which all
dynamisms are the complex conveyances or transportations (means of
resettlement, mobility, transferral and dynamic fertilization) of solidus or
grund i.e. the lines of ground or solidus amplification which process
and necessitate solidity as the surplus value of solidus
in circulation (Solidity is not rigidity, it is the surplus value of
pseudo-fluxes, or ground mobilized through metrons.), as the only
origination through Genesis Project. Through survival economy,
everything dynamic or flowing is sought to be significated by metron.
'Solidus-in-circulation' is the economic network of grund
armed with the lines of pseudo-flux, metornic dynamisms and slope processes.
The dynamism of metrons installs the grund as the
significated fluvius or the fluvial process. For
