Hello, welcome tot 1 2 0 2 4 3mester2 XPUB -----> QUILTING AS AN INFRASTRUCTURE

280224 File:Experimenting with word tag cloud .mp4 WORDS FLOATING AROUND

(((I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE PROPER ANSWER SO THIS IS ANSWERED INTUITIVELY)))

Quiltgame exercise

marloes: write an entry in the word quilt together with your editorial team (or if teams don't overlap anymore, with your game team), about the game world you have in mind! Before thinking about game rules, objectives, etc. try to imagine the world!

When the visitors/players enter your game, what kind of world do they step into?

The people step into a world that is situated in their actual world. As an annotated version, a lens OR a few lenses / stations. The space is a something that places our research, conversations and findings in a slight satirical / ironic / --- layer.

What does it look like (colors, space, hues, atmosphere), are there sounds, smells, other sensations? What kind?

---

I believe the aesthetics of an 'internet café' towards the classic mario overwhelming worldmaps elements (having a 'saturated) with a non-linear crossover map between the topics. It mocks the typical silicon valley / server / data center. aesthetic and gives lenses towards actual processes.

Possible aesthetical influences differ from text based to early video text based (Roberta Williams) games to more modern ideas as the stanley parable and as said before silicon valley related. From hip start up to servers.

we could use sounds as the imminent server space as a soundscape and have bleeps

Physics as in real life or different?

---

The physics in the game / area are met with the confines of reality. Instead of thinking about gravity, think of the weight of information as the load of the player.

What/who inhabits this world?

---

IDK

Are there objects, plants, trees and animals or is it an abstract world of ideas and symbols?

---

the objects as far as I know will communicate with the elements of the word quilt entries.

Can players communicate with these and/or each other?

---

There could be a communication of some sort through ticket.

Does the world reveal itself immediately or do players unravel it's mysteries step by step?

---

It's a non-linear space that is met with a server data-esque aesthetics when it comes to a (de)tour around the area.

Or do the players construct the world themselves? Just to get you started.

---

I think there is room for input, or that there will be because there is always space for errors and glitches.

Don't worry about implementation of the world design when you write, in the end you can conjure up a universe in a text game so that should not be an obstacle :) If you have games in mind as reference, link to them!

BUGS OF MISCONDUCT

Trying to map out words in Obsidian

Walking around in the neighbourhood thinking and defining (counter)mapping I walk in this space that used to be a prison complex in the north of rotterdam, The area has changed into a hip area that flirts with truman show type of aesthetics. I have been thinking about the infrastructures and how things are not working in this city. I have many objections into city planning and I'm wildly attracted to ideas of who owns the city.

As I stroll my sunday gloom away, mending the shapes of spaces I read or hear something along the lines of Codes of Conduct, earlier today I was watching the sitcom parks and recreation, which is a based at a local government in America and the shows the bureaucracy sometimes.

I am wrestling with my ideas on what I want to do and I am doing these things justice and or the right way.

A bubble came up in opposition to a Code of Conduct and I thought about Bugs of Misconduct.

Dividing the definitions:

BUGS:

informal: a harmful microorganism, typically a bacterium. "their ham was found to be contaminated with food bugs"

   an illness caused by a microorganism.

   "he'd just recovered from a flu bug"

noun: misconduct

/ˌmɪsˈkɒndʌkt/

1. 1. unacceptable or improper behaviour, especially by an employee or professional person. "she was found guilty of professional misconduct by a disciplinary tribunal and dismissed" h Similar: wrongdoing, delinquency, unlawfulness ,lawlessness ,crime ,felony,criminality,sin,sinfulness,evil,evil-doing,unprofessional behaviour,unprofessionalism,unethical behaviour,malpractice,maladministration,dereliction of duty ,negligence,breach of ethics,impropriety,immorality,abuse,malversation,misbehaviour, bad behaviour,misdeeds. misdemeanours,disorderly conductbadnessmischief

1. 1. behave in an improper manner. "the committee reprimanded two members who were found to have misconducted themselves"
2. 2. mismanage (an activity). "there is no evidence that the premises were being misconducted"

Thinking about the bugs of misconduct, it's a great ethical dilemma because it is, if I am correct, a bit of a contronym/auto-antonym/Janus term. OR a homonym.

To me, bugs of misconduct are an error in the system. The cracks that appear to be loopholes or invite to squat. It opens for alternative opportunities as a crack in the wall. The bugs go in and start to acclimatize to the space, showcasing the cracks and the errors as fundament. For what idk yet. I'm in need of looking at the readings of previous weeks and to show.

another of countermapping is to show showcase hostile architecture, or infrastructure, maybe that is what I have been doing earlier with locating the steps from one person in a scootmobile / wheelchair to another by public transport.

A bug of misconduct is potentially a parasite that leeches off the host.

WHAT AM I DOING CURRENTLY

CURRENTLY I AM PROCESSINGSORRY MICHAEL I MEAN DIGESTING INFO AND UPDATING ALL PAGES AND SUCH IN ORDER TO KINDA UNDERSTAND BUT I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE, YET I FEEL GOOD DOING THIS BECAUSE IT'S A CRASH COURSE FOR MYSELF WITH THE NOTES AND ALL / INCONSISTENCY IS KEY AND THE KEY IS OFTEN LOST

140224---(visualizing nodes / processes / connections /graphs , idk how to formulate this yet but it is something I'm currently making, 4, 6 and 7 also come to mind in this connection )

_____________________________________________________________________________  .... 

    - involve playlessness (not sure what means yet) | 

      -(con)text adventure games, where limitations are there in the game (up down south east west north and other commands) and also the limitations offline could be implemented in case / scenarios  |      

#KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST A BRAINDUMP / NO(okmaybesome) CONCRETE THINGS

...// booting mind>>>>>>>>>> general comment: we have so much we can work with (all the readings / prototyping)  / imagemagick / python / html css javascript / web / ascii art

words:

ghost host parasite server etc / the wordquilt / code of conduct etc etc etc

..first;  

Maria X mentioned the word question but the connection broke it into quest-ion+1, which could be a happy accident to use the storyline to ask questions that may have come up in the reading and prototyping of previous weeks. QuiltQuestionQuest or somethin.

..second   : 

based on the  adventure txt and fictionalizing human computer something(very paraphrased from a previous text we read)

/

you see what you type -> person a speaks person b does walk compass-like limiting the options "You can't open cabinet"   said by person c  

/the narrator in this part could read it out either non-linear or linear depending on the 'script' so if the person does something not according to script, the narrator will go to bottom of script 

 ..third 

something I have been thinking abouthttps://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/User:Lor.ens%C5%8D#Concept:_Where_do_ya_draw_the_line?  I am kind of using the idea of Google maps step by step and using the linear story and fictionalizing / gamifying the inaccessible process from A to B  (this is more a political thing and I might just do it for myself on the side) //this could also just be a personal side quest using 1-3 cases with the idea of connections servers protocols etc

..

fourth:
yesterday's class reminded me of the dos games / old mac games and the actual collosal cave adventure: Roberta Williams as inspiration https://www.mobygames.com/game/2029/the-roberta-williams-anthology/

Concept: Where do ya draw the line?

A personal observation based on the limitations concerning accessibility, usability concerning healthcare, public transport.

Since XPUB is focused on making things public, I'm thinking about some stuff.

Public Transport, How do you make Transport Public? Or more public

I'm just thinking about the idea of the public service for the transport from an accessible / disability point of view. This case is quite personal but also inspirational from my critical thinking designartresearchblabla point of view.

So, let's say my mother wants to go to my brother. What needs to be done? For this method I'm using the google maps standard*/ **

1. Go out of the house
2. Unlock the scootmobile
3. Uncover the scootmobile
4. Put the cover inside
5. move the bicycle
6. position the basket and possible bags
7. start scootmobile
8. go to end of street
9. wait for traffic lights / or if you're lucky it's green but it's always in favour of the cars.
10. once you crossed the street, go to the elevator
11. check in at port **
12. push the button
13. wait for elevator
14. possibly wait for people to exit the elevator
15. enter the elevator***
16. wait until you are at the platform
17. exit elevator to right side(need to confirm this)
18. wait for the metro
19. search for the good entrance without the metal poles in the middle ^
20. be in metro for one stop
21. reach central station
22. pull back to exit metro
23. go back or forward to elevator
24. push button and wait for elevator / if you are lucky it'll be there already
25. enter the elevator ***
26. wait til you reach centraal station begane grond
27. go back or forward to exit elevator
28. check out at port **
29. ride towards third tram platform
30. enter third tram platform
31. wait for tram 7 towards woudestein? (need to be confirmed)
32. in the meantime, guess on what half of the platform the tram will stop
33. inevitably ride or race through crowd to reach the middle / center of tram****
34. enter tram in transit ^
35. position yourself
36. wait until you reach you reach your destination
37. try to get out of the tram
38. check out as well
39. you can finally breathe again
40. enjoy your visit
41. when it is time to leave, leave*
42. go back to the tram
43. search for the right port on the other side of the street
44. inevitably ride or race through crowd to reach the middle / center of tram****
45. step / check in
46. it might be possible that there is a parent and a baby carriage in the space that is also meant for wheelchair and rollator
47. wait in discomfort
48. person with baby carriage needs to get out, instead of going to another exit, this person insists to get out the door they came in, they lift the scootmobile and you are in even more discomfort
49. you need to wait some more time
50. finally you are at Rotterdam Centraal
51. struggle to get out of the tram once again**
52. head to the metro port
53. check in and somehow also drive towards the elevator***
54. push the button of the elevator
55. position yourself in the metro at the place with no metal poles in the middle
56. wait one stop
57. get out the metro
58. go to elevator
59. go up
60. go out
61. go home
62. place all the stuff back
63. recover

*before you go, think about leaving at least 10-15 minutes in advance

** might need someone else to do it because it closes again in a certain timeframe

*** this means the elevator works

**** there might be a parent with child, cyclist, person in wheelchair, other person in scootmobile there

^ take into consideration the doors are literally timeframes so you better have someone with you to hold the door

Example: --------

The Rotterdam Electric Tram has multiple Entrances -> Ports

 Dear Xpubdiary, I'm starting to get some more time off on my own to put things into perspective.  I'm digesting through more than one channel 
 
 channel 1 // 
The first channel is or was the care channel. I am <code>function mantelzorger() {for my mother, dog and four chicken; exception: sometimes also brother;}</code>
  
 It's a hassle but I feel like that is starting to land and give me some headspace. I have no idea what is happening or  bound to happen but I am just completely bamboozled sometimes
 
 channel 2 // 
The second channel is the xpub channel, where I tend to be moreI do not know what information to process first and what to do next  what to research and what to reflect or experiment with it is a lot to process and I want to be productive but [x=channel 3] is taking over help.js
 
 channel 3 // 
 The third channel is the health channel. This should be top priority but in the heat
 of everything I am just lost. It is truly madness to deal with the days of information 
 and an unlimited load of things coming from channel 1 / 2 / 3. The pipeline is clogged

 there is no perfect way to deal with this, anyone in my shoes would either struggle, give up or have other ideas so  comparing myself to another isn't the way

However, a quick search reveals that cloud infrastructure facilities are typically replete with perimeter fences, security guards, surveillance technologies, biometric readers and reinforced steel cages designed to keep out any unauthorized personnel. In a video presentation about Google’s data centres, a top executive describes the various levels of physical security that someone trying to get into the centre would have to

pass through. The rooms housing the actual server racks are akin to a sanctum sanctorum. Only those with the highest security clearance proceed all the way through.

Method(ol(atry)ogy) is a way of surviving experience

Method is a way of surviving experience. The post-coping mechanism of someone on a journey to the center of the data. How does one look. Is it the landscape of hexadecimals, binaries, flying bits or deeper digging. A mole goes into depth in a different matter than the human does.

As I kinda recalled in my 'essay'(as Rosa called my methods remark ;)), this word or experiment/experience has been quite the quilt on its own, I'm a bit confused but it also feels like the step after coping? Method on its own feels like a way to practicalize whatever the ---- I'm struggling with.

Yes, I'm currently linking this sentence to my own surviving experience as I'm trying to create my own method in how to live this

◹xpub / ◹carer / ◹own life ◹triangle◹.

...But about the text; the word first makes an entry in the title. And it introduces feminist methodology as a radical alternative.

../

My current method is just doing a quick scan through the text and react quickly and associative through the text. (Whilst making comments on the side)(to process text, this worked, to read, it didn't work

)/..

When searching for methods vs methodology;

"Methodology vs. method. 'Methodology' is not just a fancier-sounding term for 'methods' – it refers to the school of thought by which you conduct research. Method, on the other hand, is all about practicalities: surveys, experiments, observations and so on

Luckily the text goes back to the nature of method, which contextualizes it to 'normal everyday life stuff' as a cleaning habit towards radicalizing (mobilizing) in order to protest injustice. As I'm writing about Methods, I hear Victor talk about methods and I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but I'm doing it in my own method?

It mentions methodolatry; "Worship of a method that employs it uncritically regardless of ever- changing particulars and steadfastly ignoring past negative results."

---

---

---

---

Text I'm responding to / with:

"A method is distinct from a recipe or formula, in exactly the sense that science is not embodied in a textbook and cooking is not a cookbook. It is a real-time, lived, and experiential form of ordering practice. In the words of Isabelle Stengers: Indeed, you do not follow a challenge, you do not obey it, it does not direct you. You have to invent the way to answer it, it proposes risks for your answers, but gives you no model. Thus it is consonant with my conception of science. It is consonant because our “social experience,” the moral and political options which situate us cannot become self-conscious just by a process of honest self-examination. It must be created through an active process of learning. Learning how we are situated, inventing the situations from which we can learn more about our situation does not give power to emancipation over cognition. It associates both emancipation and cognition. (1993, 46)"

"... It is a word at once stronger than para- digm, in the sense that it often crosses, both historically and spatially, most uses of the Kuhnian term. It may be part of several paradigms; it may persist after other attributes of a paradigm have fallen away. Methods considered in this fashion may have many of the features of surviving experience, depending on the values of the community using them: they can become imperialistic or monolithic (if one only has a hammer, the world becomes a nail, etc.); they can become a means of enforcing fundamentalism (reducing the world to that which can be perceived using the method); or they can become ways of encompassing multiplicity, complexity, and ambiguity. It is in this latter sense that feminism is important methodologically, I think, although we have sometimes used it in the monolithic or reductionist senses. Feminists have written some extremely powerful methodological pieces, not always recognized as such..."

"Considered formally, then, the attributes of feminist method that are particularly important are: 1. experiential and collective basis; 2. processual nature; 3. honoring contradiction and partialness; 4. situated historicity with great attention to detail and specificity; and 5. the simultaneous application of all of these points."

 

Validity

- bit of a fictional intro

Validity comes in multiple badges. It has the sacred I P R V code imprinted in its labels. These four labels stand for the four regions of the tanssgressiv validitrain. it is something to be found in the real world but could it be that Validity is also based on the journey

Ironia / Paralogia / Rhizomia / Voluptia are all areas waiting to be explored.

   - what is the keyword? our definition TL;DR

noun: validity; plural noun: validities

   - the quality of being logically or factually sound; soundness or cogency.
   - the state of being legally or officially binding or acceptable

   - annotation of text/(the reference of the source)   

"Patti Lather, a brilliant feminist methodologist, has written about this under the rubric transgressive validity ( Lather 1993 ). Her map of attributes of a feminist method, which I read after I wrote the passage above, has some remarkable resonances. She asks the question, where, after poststructuralism, can we find validity? Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis"

"Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis of representation: Ironic validity (which problematizes the single voice, realist representation of nature); paralogical validity (which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); rhizomatic validity (which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing); and voluptuous validity (which precisely goes too far , and

joins ethics and epistemology)"

VALIDITY DEFINITIONS, CITED AND ASKING QUESTIONS

"Transgressive validity" -> "here, after poststructuralism, can we find validity?" is validity the same as validation? searching for distinction I find that one is a verb an the other is a noun, but both seem to be tags? https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1659/what-is-the-difference-between-tags-validity-and-validation

"Ironic validity" > "which problematizes the single voice, realist represen- tation of nature)" ... "would demand that the representation of pregnancy as an illness be challenged in the encoding, and include multiple views of what in fact constitutes a pregnancy. " 

"Paralogical validity" > "(which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); .. "might at the same time acknowledge that for some women an aborted fetus never constituted a pregnancy at all, while for others it did, and there is no resolving that question in any simple fashion." 

"Rhizomatic validity" > "(which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing. " ... "would seek out the range of what we take for granted about pregnancy, childbirth, and sexuality, and keep challenging us to break boundaries of what we think we know about these processes—perhaps cross-culturally, but also in phenomenological explorations of daily routines connected with them, denying the taken-for-granted “every woman feels X”: and being sure to listen for com- plex differences and similarities." 

"Voluptuous validity" > "which precisely goes too far, and joins ethics and epistemology" .. "in this sense might bring entirely other conceptions of birth and pregnancy, such as the kind of spiritual birth found in some religious cultures, or dreams and visions. From this base, feminism has some important things to say about technology, and especially information technology, in its capacity creatively and ethically to mingle people, things, and experience." 

STANDARD(IZATION)

- bit of a fictional intro

Bzzzt bzzt error of approval. This bug does not have followed standardized procedure.

   - what is the keyword? our definition

From what I read / think / assume, standardization means to bring things, stuff, objects into one standard. And that to me is quite troublesome because when a norm or standard is made, there always will be conflicts with the things that are not standard. But then again, adaptation, nuance and contextualization are in place.

   - annotation of text/(the reference of the source)   

Four questions before introducing:

1. how can objects inhabit multiple contexts at once, and have both local and shared meaning?
2. how can people living in one community, and drawing their meanings from other people and objects situated there, communicate in another
3. what is the relationship between the two?
4. what range of solutions to the preceding three questions are possible, and what consequences attend each of them —cui bono?

Standardization has been one of the common solutions to this class of problems: 3 if the

interfaces and formats are standard across contexts, then at least the first three questions

become clear, and the fourth becomes moot. But we know from a long and gory

history of attempts to standardize information systems that standards don’t remain

standard for very long, and that one person’s standard is another’s confusion and mess

( Gasser 1986 ; Star 1991 ).

Noun. solutionism (uncountable) The belief that all difficulties have benign solutions, often of a technocratic nature. quotations ▼ The providing of a solution or solutions to a customer or client (sometimes before a problem has been identified).

important question:

how to preserve the integrity of information without a

priori standardization and its attendant violence

Naturalization in response to standardization:

I mean stripping away the contingencies of an object’s creation and its situated

nature. A naturalized object has lost its aura of anthropological strangeness, and is

in a sense “de-situated” in that members have forgotten the local nature of the object’s

meaning. 4 We no longer think much about the miracle of plugging a light into a socket

4

and obtaining illumination, and must make an effort of anthropological imagination

to remind ourselves of contexts in which it is still unnaturalized.

..

Objects exist, with respect to a community of practice, along a trajectory of naturalization,

which has elements of both ambiguity and duration. It is not predetermined

whether an object will ever become naturalized or how long it will remain so—rather,

practice/activity is required to make it so and keep it so.

...

Anomalies or interruptions, the cause of contingency,

come when some person or object interrupts the flow of expectations. One

reason that “glass box technology” or pure transparency is impossible is that anomalies

always arise when multiple communities of practice come together, and useful technologies

cannot be designed in all communities at once. Monsters arise when the legitimacy

of that multiplicity is denied.

Transparency is in theory the endpoint of the trajectory of naturalization, as complete

legitimacy or centrality is the end point of the trajectory of membership in a

community of practice. However, due to the multiplicity of membership of all people,

and the persistence of newcomers and strangers, a well as the multiplicity of naturalization

of objects, this is inherently nonexistent in the real world. For those brief historical

moments where it seems to be the case, it is unstable.

But what are the things that make objects and statuses seem given, durable, real?

Several things coalesce.

Generalization is also named in relation.as well as denaturalization

Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis"

"Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis of representation: Ironic validity (which problematizes the single voice, realist representation of nature); paralogical validity (which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); rhizomatic validity (which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing); and voluptuous validity (which precisely goes too far , and

joins ethics and epistemology)"

VALIDITY DEFINITIONS, CITED AND ASKING QUESTIONS

"Transgressive validity" -> "here, after poststructuralism, can we find validity?" is validity the same as validation? searching for distinction I find that one is a verb an the other is a noun, but both seem to be tags? https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1659/what-is-the-difference-between-tags-validity-and-validation

"Ironic validity" > "which problematizes the single voice, realist represen- tation of nature)" ... "would demand that the representation of pregnancy as an illness be challenged in the encoding, and include multiple views of what in fact constitutes a pregnancy. " 

"Paralogical validity" > "(which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); .. "might at the same time acknowledge that for some women an aborted fetus never constituted a pregnancy at all, while for others it did, and there is no resolving that question in any simple fashion." 

"Rhizomatic validity" > "(which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing. " ... "would seek out the range of what we take for granted about pregnancy, childbirth, and sexuality, and keep challenging us to break boundaries of what we think we know about these processes—perhaps cross-culturally, but also in phenomenological explorations of daily routines connected with them, denying the taken-for-granted “every woman feels X”: and being sure to listen for com- plex differences and similarities." 

"Voluptuous validity" > "which precisely goes too far, and joins ethics and epistemology" .. "in this sense might bring entirely other conceptions of birth and pregnancy, such as the kind of spiritual birth found in some religious cultures, or dreams and visions. From this base, feminism has some important things to say about technology, and especially information technology, in its capacity creatively and ethically to mingle people, things, and experience."

- bit of a fictional intro

Bzzzt bzzt error of approval. This bug does not have followed standardized procedure.

   - what is the keyword? our definition

From what I read / think / assume, standardization means to bring things, stuff, objects into one standard. And that to me is quite troublesome because when a norm or standard is made, there always will be conflicts with the things that are not standard. But then again, adaptation, nuance and contextualization are in place.

Four questions before introducing:

1. how can objects inhabit multiple contexts at once, and have both local and shared meaning?
2. how can people living in one community, and drawing their meanings from other people and objects situated there, communicate in another
3. what is the relationship between the two?
4. what range of solutions to the preceding three questions are possible, and what consequences attend each of them —cui bono?

Standardization has been one of the common solutions to this class of problems: 3 if the

interfaces and formats are standard across contexts, then at least the first three questions

become clear, and the fourth becomes moot. But we know from a long and gory

history of attempts to standardize information systems that standards don’t remain

standard for very long, and that one person’s standard is another’s confusion and mess

( Gasser 1986 ; Star 1991 ).

Noun. solutionism (uncountable) The belief that all difficulties have benign solutions, often of a technocratic nature. quotations ▼ The providing of a solution or solutions to a customer or client (sometimes before a problem has been identified).

important question:

how to preserve the integrity of information without a

priori standardization and its attendant violence

Naturalization in response to standardization:

I mean stripping away the contingencies of an object’s creation and its situated

nature. A naturalized object has lost its aura of anthropological strangeness, and is

in a sense “de-situated” in that members have forgotten the local nature of the object’s

meaning. 4 We no longer think much about the miracle of plugging a light into a socket

4

and obtaining illumination, and must make an effort of anthropological imagination

to remind ourselves of contexts in which it is still unnaturalized.

..

Objects exist, with respect to a community of practice, along a trajectory of naturalization,

which has elements of both ambiguity and duration. It is not predetermined

whether an object will ever become naturalized or how long it will remain so—rather,

practice/activity is required to make it so and keep it so.

...

Anomalies or interruptions, the cause of contingency,

come when some person or object interrupts the flow of expectations. One

reason that “glass box technology” or pure transparency is impossible is that anomalies

always arise when multiple communities of practice come together, and useful technologies

cannot be designed in all communities at once. Monsters arise when the legitimacy

of that multiplicity is denied.

Transparency is in theory the endpoint of the trajectory of naturalization, as complete

legitimacy or centrality is the end point of the trajectory of membership in a

community of practice. However, due to the multiplicity of membership of all people,

and the persistence of newcomers and strangers, a well as the multiplicity of naturalization

of objects, this is inherently nonexistent in the real world. For those brief historical

moments where it seems to be the case, it is unstable.

But what are the things that make objects and statuses seem given, durable, real?

Several things coalesce.

Generalization is also named in relation.as well as denaturalization
