Quantities aren\u2019t given and refuse to be estimated or approximated. If an amount is too large to be reached by a feasible counting effort then it has to be reached by some other exertion of thought, some other, improvised, form of mental accrual. In a quantity universe there is no workable substitute for specificity. In a quantity universe totting is a constant necessity. \u201912 million\u2019 can\u2019t just be stated, it has to be elaborately totted. And no accumulation is permanent, amounts can be achieved, then lost, then regained by other means.<\/p><p>Appendix 2 \u2013 Navigation<\/p><p>To navigate in an unstable medium, like an ocean, or a quantity universe, one must put in place certain preconditions, make arrangements to turn the medium into a plane. In an unstable medium the only way of moving is the establishment of a true north, a universal reference point, a flattener, an equaliser, then everything can fall into place, like the ability to differentiate between chasing and fleeing, arriving and departing etc. First one must decide on a goal, then it\u2019s about sitting back, and watching as the wholesale transformation of worldly phenomena into a menagerie of compass points, sat-navs, proximity-measuring dials and detection devices takes place before you, watching the numerous things of the world sprout forth little sets of arms with which to hold aloft big arrows and point you on your way. Navigation requires resource mining, a method for exposing, getting at, the instrumentalize-able kernel in each and all things.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ac02ca9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ac02ca9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ebb6b3e\" data-id=\"ebb6b3e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd6f321 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd6f321\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Appendix 3 &#8211; Derived, Allusive<\/p><p>At a cursory glance one may think that the players look a bit like the Pompidou centre. A system of tubes and pipes with a person somewhere inside. Like an exposed respiratory system but for narratives, types of self-image, tonal registers \u2013 all borrowed, hoovered up. Constant barter between versions of an action or stance or event, the versions are listed out, like mood-boards, reference points, for that particular action, then selected through a process of bartering. Players are engaged in a constant activity of conversion and exchange, choosing what narratives to run through the overlaying tubes, hooking themselves up to the imaginative resources, the imaginative capital or stock, contained in the world\u2019s parts and feeding it through the system of tubes winding around their selves.

In his lecture notes he wrote \u2018<em>Unconsciousness<\/em> is the language in which the fact of the subject\u2019s incompleteness is revealed (a language of malfunctions).\u2019 From Lacan he learnt how a subject can attend to the internal logic of their own malfunctions by thinking of them as a language, but Singleton\u2019s \u2018Senges\u2019 believed that the point of a language is being able to cleave to it, to wield it, and that there is little point in discovering a language which can only be attended to. So Singleton\u2019s \u2018Senges\u2019 began to imagine a neurotic character with the miraculous ability to overthink themselves out of overthinking, a character whose unconscious wasn\u2019t just structured like a language but structured like a particular example of language use (split into 135 Chapters and titled \u2018Moby Dick\u2019) &#8211;<\/p><p>A character pushed out the back-end of some unfathomable, and most likely torturous, process of identification which has left it, somehow, with a 19<sup>th<\/sup> century novel as its unconsciousness, a character who has planted incompleteness within the heart of this novel by planting themselves there, like a de-completing parasite, an acid, identifying the novel as unfinished and itself as an unlikely and unfolding \u2018sequel\u2019 to it (are we not all sequels to the unacknowledged catastrophes upon which our unconsciousness\u2019s are founded?), seeking to ameliorate this incompleteness through a sustained and drastic course of lived literary revisionism.<\/p><p>Singleton\u2019s \u2018Senges\u2019 developed his own school of Psychoanalytic thought, devoted entirely to the analysis of this one case-study.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5dd6389 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5dd6389\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f63fb1\" data-id=\"6f63fb1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b34fc72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b34fc72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Clue 3 : The Missing Chapter contains<\/p><p>\u2018our lives plug little holes in the hole-universe of another\u2019s mind\u2019 \u2013 something unpredictable is registered here, a shift in implication.

All it amounts to on the page, all the novelist can do with the tools at their disposal, are slight gestures towards universalization, a \u2018visionary sheen\u2019, which set a character slightly off balance so for a moment it could be confused for a character in a Joyce-novel (Joyceanization is something that can suddenly happen to characters like [oxidation can happen to metals]), a slight warping, but it\u2019s enough for the novel\u2019s bottom to fall out, suddenly it\u2019s hanging over infinite space, vertigo-inducing as the reader looks down through it over its edge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>robert singleton polemics readings WIKAL Pierre Senges, &#8216;Ahab (Sequels)&#8217; (2015) \u00a0Ahab the Reader No-one has ever read like Ahab reads in &#8216;Ahab (Sequels).&#8217; He removes almost all passivity from the act of reading.
