Go beyond the boards, rules, systems, structures and habits that others make. Create your own world, your own vector field.
This is not a denial of desire itself. On the contrary, desire is affirmed. Desire must be affirmed. Enormously, to the limit.

But why is this affirmation carried out passively, like a camel, inside frames others have set, inside systems others have built?

Become a lion. Become a child. Set up new coordinate axes of your own.
Not an addictive interface that binds you.
The phone as an instrument of the "interface". Play with it. Beyond scrolling.
For the fingers, for many modalities.

Real interaction is desiring interaction: sensuous, touching.
Why did the heart and the comment settle in as the dominant modalities of the social media interface?
What other emoticons and signs are possible?
Not quantised, discrete, press-and-release like a button, not clicking, but continuous touching: the finger moving fluidly and flexibly over the interface.

Affirmation of the hand, affirmation of desire. A differential geometry manifold.

"Destroy fabricated reason and discover an irrational order."

Icons, emoji, signs.

"A lively rhythm and visual vibration, like the traffic moving fast through the intersections of New York."
"The destruction of melody is the destruction of nature's outward form: a dynamic rhythm."

Something with vitality. Raw. Organic, supple and attractive. Post-Euclidean.
Vector space to vector field. Instrumental.

Powerful, generative rhythm. A fun program.

Infinite desire! What leads you to the next dimension? Desire?
Present society: desire castrated and disciplined, locked inside programmes of desire supplied by others....
The fingers... [a few garbled, illegible keystrokes] ...something not bound.
Touchable and sensible (touch, hearing, sight); a resistance to the grid and to Descartes. Resisting, phenomenological.
