1. the “frozen inscription” and the “frame”
what is interpretation without suspicion
absorption: text as skin as sponge
abstraction of a sign is its sanitation
sanitized: assigning one meaning to the sign
2. who has interpreted if to interpret
is not to incorporate texts made under
the totalitarian inscription,
the “frozen inscription”
decoding
3. (not resemble) what was “reflectance
theory” or is the work that logic does
the ‘not making strange’ (is there
thought without logic and number)
4. the calling of an afterthought a thought
and calling that language and is this
where history has brought language to
(symptom) (trauma) (shock) the work

ascribed meaning, “frozen inscription”
coda
trust the grin that isn’t thrown in your direction

“Writing is displaced on the broken line between lost and promised speech.”
Jacques Derrida, Writing and Difference
nothing is ever thought through, that’s the purpose
to writing off of or at and around or are you simply

“On the edge of grammar is why they make things.”
Gertrude Stein, How to Write
grammar is disturbed and the absence of grammar
is also disturbed (the problem here is languaging)
thought and afterthought and impulse and reaction
