未来主人《经》

泽

彻底的混沌，是泽的恩赐。掌权者的席位空⽆⼀⼈，权⼒就此进⼊真空，“不做主”是泽扶持地下势⼒公开的奥义。道道排流，堑堑泄洪，秒秒枯⼲。然⽽，皆⾮泽之决断。泽是万物归⼀，却⼜不可化约的时空。泽的表⾯凹凸不平，拒绝反射天光，看似稀松⽆奇，不露⼀丝真容，谁能想地表以下的曲径通幽？⾯⼦覆盖着的是暗地⾥的百眼千疮：洞窟、巢孔、隧⽳、罅隙错综，形如迷宫。汩汩⽔流，渗濡千道万道，蚀通上下，缔结左右，稍纵即逝。众⽣蜗居，众⽣匍匐，众⽣⾏迹不⼀，⽆可计量，使出各⾃能耐，扭转地下乾坤，雕琢千种凹和万种凸。泽既⽆规则，也不成⽅圆，也便⽆以宣称统治。

统治须规章和治理，泽对此⾼⾼挂起甚⾄有些回避。地下暗河的潺潺咒念之中，万种⽣灵各⾃蛰伏，钻营，交融，精确⽽⼜奇巧，悄然嵌⼊彼此的偶发之中。协同交互，⾼度并发，任何激发，带来的都是⽆可以意料的连锁反应。这也说明，因果联系极其可预测性，在泽的内部是完全失效的。

泽赐予⾂民的是⼀种最为错综复杂的共⽣模式，迫使每种⽣命与其他形式建构多重依赖。时间注⼊，流经泽，似被纱⽹漏过，展不开拳脚。在泽⾥，不再有逐⽇逐⽉，单位制的演进和推移，每时每刻都粘连，凝结，往复不⽌。泽是众⽣的集体放流。断断续续，蝇营狗苟，卑贱残喘，皆为正常。泽不是⾬露均沾，但泽当中，巨⼤的空间被发掘和创⽣，压⼒机制并不相容的机体之间变得融洽。泽奇⼤⽆⽐的容错率，令⼈叹为观⽌。泽⾥的众⽣，悉⼼学习着如何共处，习惯搅扰，习惯蹊跷，习惯见机⾏事。与此同时，泽还在持续的吞噬体量，叠藏空间。其中险象环⽣，曲折迂回，千变万化，更迭⽆数。

从泽的上空俯瞰之，如进⼊了⼀场经久不衰的催眠，⼀场不醒的⽩⽇梦魇

The Swamp

The benevolence of the swamp lies in its utter chaos. It is known for leaving the authoritative role indefinitely empty to endorse subterranean forces. It doesn't decide where it drains or leaks, when it dries up. The swamp can be many things at the same time, but its surface refuses reflection and does not divulge any of its hidden characteristics. The surface inertia belies its erosion by the underground, where burrows, lairs, tunnels and slits constitute an imbroglio. Water trickles down, seeping through millions of ephemeral interlocking holes. Beings crawl and twist and carve out concaves and convexes. There are no rules with which to declare domination.

The swamp forgoes and abstains from governing through regulation or management. In the whispering of the underground streams, living beings dig, drill and converge into one another, never going out of sync. Every stimulus can evoke something unexpected, that is to say, causality and consequentiality are defunct in the swamp.

The swamp forces the most intricate form of co-dependency onto every form of life. Time leaks through, never fully accessible. There is no longer the progression from day to day, season to season—every moment is glued into a cohesive, complex lapse, where beings drift collectively. Even if the swamp’s affordances are not sufficient, it is a place to learn to live with those who have incompatible coping mechanisms and simply make do. It’s constantly devouring volumes and hoarding spaces in treacherous and circuitous fashion.

It could be rather hypnotizing to look at from above, like a lucid dream in motion.
