the andrej synkar dictionary: first edition
meta-speculation vs. manifested-value: there is no empirical direction of the world, abstractions dialectically get first-order weaponized by political agents, which under-values ideas, ideas re-emerge second-order as speculative machines which now act on value abstractly but dont generate it, generated value in the form of manifested empiricism in the third-order re-emerges as dominant which kills the value of speculation, then meta-speculation emerges as representing the second-order speculative machines and trying to predict them. ideas in capitalism dont "turn out" to have always been ontologically useless but are only currently under-generative. luckily, all forms of "stition" (super, hyper, under) prevent total collapse of the value of representation (see more in andrej synkar's the gamble of representation)
capital: capitalism, only referred to as capital is an entity, an actual acting being or diety and not a noun, represented by moloch and not formlessness, but is formless in principle, although in speculative futures it emerges as an actual exact material and symbolic reality and not just an endless simulacrum loop, which actually belongs to the halo, which is not and cannot be a time period but is purely a function unlocked by modernity. capitalism is simply an economic order, one form of a larger political economy, that is only a historical amalgamation of practices that only incidentally sometimes intertwine with capital.
capital-being: capital other than an agent is itself is a deterritorializing force with the primary function of a formless capture and suspension into what is known as the present state of things, which is permament from the inside looking out but not from the outside looking in, because modernity produces them as nostalgia-machines, attaches to their conceived aesthetics only after their extinction, and removes from this world so that it can reintegrate empty concepts from previosu worlds, it is a schizophrenic collectors-type process which is self-prophesizing and not somehow threatened by and against its own logic. capital is fully non contradictory. history as such (medievality, ancientism, enlightenment dont exist, theyre practices directly connected to this order epistemologically, but only affirmed by this one. for their own totalities, they are just exact versions of this order but less developed ones. history in this sense is linear and ever evolving, but not necessarily archeological, meaning signification is lost but somehow progress remains past even preservation itself.
modernity: modernity then is a time period defined by recurrence, in that many modernities have existed.. the only difference between the modernity of the medieval ages and this one isnt the suspension of history but the arrogance of the 21st century version of modernity, which actually suspends itself. capital basically constructs new worlds, capital-being affirms them as emanated and envisioned, modernity then crosses and collapses them into a narrow frame. this narrowing has existed all throughout history and all of its modernities (ancient and pre-ancient world models also had modernity) the difference is that this one is so arrogant that it manages to re-encapsulate itself as non-totalizing by bringing in contradictory non-totality to efface itself. furthermore, totality itself is a negative and not a positive category, its categorized by collapse of functions, not elements. a world can be extremely conceptually or experientially rich (our version of modernity is the former against the latter) but still believe itself poor due to the way it treats its richness not whether it has it.
world-exterior of capital: only the world-interior of capital currently exists - metaphysics as specially and conceptually uniquely derived from a political economy, characterized by lack of cosmology other than emerging internal speculation, speculative finance as replacing theological faith, money as symbol of worship, corporate owners as saints, but doesnt serve as a metaphor, it is a new era where religion doesnt transfer onto economy but economy triumphs over religion with its own logic, meaning the religion metaphor helps us understand the world-interior and not helps the world-inteiror be discovered as pseudo-religious. the future merging of art and politics thus gives birth to a world-exterior, where our current epistemic understanding of what art and politics are totally shifts and merges on ontological grounds, something which has largely not happened because epistemology progressed way faster than the make-up of the world. the world is currently going through a reset stage where it is fully taking on a beurocratic "tissue" of social ontology, but from this issue the new birth of a purely abstract world will come to be, where real abstractions wont just be social relations or processes but entire fundamentally exteriorizing objects. these objects unlike current literature will not be imitations, tricks, hell-spawns or illusions but will be fully operable world-states with their own logic.
deification: reification into deious forms, when conditions are named they overlap, at some point they take on a simulacrous secondary character in their common view, their sense gets changed into a theological line, after which it is posited instead of the form. this involves media synchronization in a way that collapses all memory, experience and faith and then recodes them as general experiences in a false tertiary memory which cancels out but latches onto an artificial understanding of real (now impossible) primary experiences. those experiences are pushed further the more deification is worshipped, but usually by negative worship (rage-fuel, shitstorms, displacement as a virtual commodity with circulatory value that ends up overtaking the sense of the object)
halology: post-alienation is a state where alienation isnt a problem at all, not a state where triple-tier alienation causes a lack of alienation - which is still suspended under alienative rhetoric. a condition pertaining to the halogram - the way alienation is a general condition of estrangement due to labour relations, halonation signifies the most general condition of the speculative future few centuries of art, which are primarily connotated with three intertwined concepts from modernity: the portal, which unlike
halo: the halo is the contemporary amalgamation of every opening so that it collapses as a concept and points outwards to speculative metaphysics - the world-interior of capital cultivates the alien as estranged but distant, meaning we emanate the world into conditions far from us through both interpretation and access. contact is framed as the alien reaching us first, and if we contact through access we are not accessing but becoming-alien. the medieval halo is three things: alien and distinct common substance self-evident or rather manifest - aka saints through a halo emenatae the spirit of another realm as a closed off yet present and influencing access-point kind of as if it showed up coincidentally upon them being divine enough so also a contagious stain but a desired one yet also not with otherworldly power but with transcendentally self-obvious power, the alien as a force breaching the world but through harmony rather than containmnet (divinity taking over the body), and finally a window into another realm (heaven).
world: highest-order and lowest-order manifestation. a world is not a physical space, its an abstraction and a series of ontological developments primarily that constitute something higher than a domain but lower than ontology-as-fact. worlds are not usually metaphysical, they are just superphysical. the difference between chrisitanity and capitalism is small and constitutes a middle-ranged world due to the history of inaccessability present in its virtuality, but as such isnt what we call a highest-order world, just a higher order one. highest order worlds are inaccessible to pre-virtual ontologies, accessible only in limits to virtuality (in the deleuzian sense of infinite non-preemptable possibility) and fully inaccessible to technical craft aka prophecy, manifestation, cultivation or any of the sorts. they are however possible to develop, not necessarily historically or dialectically, since it is unclear if they spawn or if they are preordrained, but they mark limits. lower order worlds are event-place-space-room multi-conjuctions, that are like somewhere between domain and realm. if a domain is a rule-space and a realm is a world-space, the lower-order world can be somewhat generative but is usually a location with mixed yet banal properties (a room that spawns more equivalent not necessarily equal rooms, a whole planet with non-abstractable objects that serve as metaphors for already-present objects from other worlds, or a fantasy space that possesses certain ontological openings (usually that are similar in nature) but not others (see right below)
hyperhalo (halo-mirror relation): the halo as theorized in its ideal form (in the world-exterior of capitalism not christianity) is at once a threshold (which is epistemic and not ontological other than sacred thresholds which if not invented are impossible-possible (contradictory) and if invented are regulated through self-imposed higher order metaphysics (epistemy creates metaphysicity as rule ,metaphysicity takes control until epistemy is actually lost and not just negated), gate (fog, way or dream), door (usually a halo is only a door if its an illusion), passage (usually only as metaphor, since travel as transport takes over the ontology of passage in contemporary modernity), bridge (direct access point with fake entrnace barrier but real as a form of basic deterrance against weakest intentions, bridges arent relational anymore though theyre empty except in rare cases), veil (basically useless metaphor for regulation. what matters is what justifies regulation and whats behind the interface not why or how the veil exists), mirror (most important one, contradiction of ontology due to epistemology rather than due to ontology, mirrors dont do anything but if a halo is a mirror thats the best possible sign (but very rare)), rift (which is always agressive either passively or actively (influence into genocide or war into dystopia) and never ambivalent due to portal-centrism), wormwhole (main form of transport, closure of bubble-metaphysics in favor of surface metaphysics, cars arent ontologically private so they arent bubbles so economico-spiritually that doesnt count), axis (mostly disabled under capital's influence over contmod (contemporary modernity). the limits of the hyperhalo present precisely the limits of the present ontology, not its transgression.
ontological openings: passage-bridge-veil, door-gate-limen, mirror-worm-rift, axis-realm-domain are the four types of openings, they are connected by a certain logic - relational opening, selective opening,
domain: a domain is a general name for any form of ontological opening that has its own "room-idea", but in more advanced terms a domain² is the particular inscription point of any opening-form presenting as a hyperhalo.
primers: the future ontological building block of capital, a primer is both subject and object, in that the infrastructure of users in the stack are themselves artificial technical objects aka robot-humanoids built out of primers, which are technical components that serve as matter but are intrinsically very complicated machines, which also serve identically as the objects of the interacting world. primers are designed under the holistic philosophy of equivalent matter-forms because it is a matter-commodity rather than a simple piece of matter, so that its design philosophy isnt just mass produced, a form of social relation, a territory to manage rather than care for, and a statement of regulation rather than a body-surface to regulate, but furthermore and especially, primers are an attempt for cyclical ontology envisioned in real time, deleuze's collapse of superstructure-infrastructure, where primers are multiple components constantly shifting, like an advanced form of playdough.
substrates: primers contain lower and higher substrates, the higher ones determine the artifical and synthesizing ontological force and cant be designed but occur, the lower substrates are also actual physical locations but engineered ones, where organic matter is fully simulated by technical proxy but remains organic, the organic-synthetic divide is surpassed materially and not just epistemologically, all components of the world co-exist and regulate eachother. components experience massive scaling and stretching, intricate and frail components are forced to be fields of protection, "protein-blocks" have a forced indiffusion function, "oil" components transform into matter, matter literally recycles back into energy, sensors, pannels, transistors and so on work as physical objects, transform into tables and chairs or whatever abstract representation of physical constraint, walls turn into openings, halos open and close dimensions, actual physical items that emerge as augmented or functionally commanded action-prompts by the self-thinking primer literally turn into symbols, visible real life symbol-forms, language is encrypted materially, thinking occurs through space, and so on. most of this is speculative, the real practical primer is historically limited. the first version simply involves a few distinct things: a fully organic-synthetic coalition of any form of matter at that historical point of distinction (since this distinction is arbitrary anyways), the ability for two distinct halo-forms to operate simultaneously or feed data into one another, a simple material transformability (turning a "rock-extension" into a "wood-extension") simple augmented thinking patterns (self-operating) and technical scripts that work in unison (a single operating space that emerges and is built out of its own machinachion that serves multiple functions "dishwashing, clothescleaning, floor sweeping" all within the same "room-box".
potentiator: for aristotle prime matter is the thing that underlies all other things in the world - a transcendent and unreachable, completely indeterminate-pure potentiality, it was not created and cannot be destroyed. what the ontology of capitalism does with prime matter in the speculative future is that it wants to make this matter one that is a combination of every single type of substance in the world, it has every object-as-commodity, every experience, every unique texture in it, every predicate and relation, every being, everything, essentially it is the only thing that exists, it has every mechanization, every transformation, it literally transverses and overcomes technic and ontological and particular expeirence, it crashes and makes everything ontic. it also serves the archetype for transcendentality itself. the potentiator is the meta-speculative version of prime matter, the building schematic for primers, which are the actual executables of the same idea with far less practical intricacy than this theoretical final goal.
matrixes: matrixes are primer components or rather schematics that, like neurons, literally argue back and fourth, wager and compromise between ontological forms. formats arent predecided, but are a literal battleground for primers to paretake in, actively ritualizing the function of instrumental ontology for non-instrumental means. primers have their own political wars, self-dividing based on desire and intention. primers are also used by other primers in the form of a superstructure-infrastructure re-divide, but with the obvious ironic backdrop of material equality.
capital space: capital also wants to equalize space so that literally all points or territories in the entire order of the world coincide with one another. the navigator of the world spans you throughout realms, but the spaces you inhabit are generalized and equalized, technically making your position equal the position of another within the order of the world itself, only being different in the point or coordinate of its exact location rather than the actual enviornment around which a subject orients or exists. every view, every relation, every possible way to interact with the world is made equalized, so that at any point in time, any and every agent has the same outlook, orientation, field of view, and is surrounded by the same commodial circumstances, with technical objects and their maps or navigations preceeding actual being-in-the-world
the cosmology otherwise known as the three directions of capital (inspired by an anonymous online commentator):
1 - sacred timeline that ends with heat death (one, predetermined, written, monitored, governed, documented, legislated timeline) 2 - infinite branching accumulating to intense annihilation (infinities exceeding infinity, chaos, or, pure infinite speed of determinations) or.. 3 - "chaosmos", infinite branchings and multiversality, but limited by an inner, in-principle reciprocity, connecting all branches, all threading, into one tunnel of cosmos (order and chaos balanced, "crowned anarchy").
capitalism-as-alien-force is driving us to chaosmos, all the other fragmented parties want to create other occurances, science wants to create the scared timeline, and accelerationalism and also the fragemented situationists want to create infinite intense annihilation, not literally through will or intention but by ontological succession. what is happening is (with ai and information war) that politics is finally becoming metaphysics, and doesnt exist without it
halogram: actual halos theologically are also possible but are functionally different in some ways. base essence also fluctuates but since contmod reterritorializes its own cliche-form-takings of the past, they are essentially the same even if essentially different. halograms are technical assemblages that accompass various machine-forms (social relation, forms of exchange and circulation). the halogram is inscripted by way of a new form of grammatization that isnt a language but about lapses of experience encoded into momentary-actions in the form of immediate impulses that are replayed, this replaying itself literally phases ontologically into the cultivation of new domains that are accessed through either hyperhalos as epistemic totalities or as rare object-forms or halographs as techical mass produced objects.
halograph: an advanced commodity in its basic form, its technical specifications are difficult to speculate. but we can assume its partially ontological fake, so that openings are difficult to concentrate into one domain-form. it likely uses similar opening-types so as to save up on ontological energy. advanced halographs with actual hyperhalo connection possibility are likely prommodities (see below). also the amount of possible worlds are usually pre-created under consumer uses of halographs. lower order worlds in and of themselves usually stop being domains or realms quickly and present as general simulations, which is the lowest and least generative mode of hyperreality.
portal-halo relation: the medieval "portal" is a gateway or a divine door to a church so that new metaphysical locations arise on earth, but the contemporary portal is either an access-point to another world but not another realm (the newly portalled world is desanctified/profanized as part of this one but not accessible with anything other than portal-as-wormhole) or as aliens accessing our world in a contained manner so that it becomes a rift-portal, which is always agressive either passively or actively (influence into genocide or war into dystopia) and never ambivalent due to portal-centrism as pertains to modernity as a general centeredness and not as some basic hypocrisy.
de-centeredness: the axis mundi generally isnt a part of a halo because connectedness now happens through the vaccuum of travel, time and wave rather than through a centeredness or coalition, so that emanation starts being a signal and not a source in contemporary halos. the halo itself also then turns into a weapon, it doesnt appear in so much as halographs are literally created and halograms begin to grammatize and stratify society in other ways also, in future speculative metaphysical politics. in art-politics circles, the halo is basically a moment in time where the modern aura (accident turned intent) works as a pseudo-portal to other worlds as self-emanation of divine forces, but usually economically divine (deified-reified) not theologically divine (deified-sacred).
holo: holographs/holograms as already exist are simply abstracted further to be representations of the world that unlock aspects of openings through waves as an essential fundamental aspect of the world rather than of specific medicial practices. but ontologically, new waves and signals are literally produced and actually have an effect on the constitution of the world anyways, it isnt just an exploitation of existing marks in the world that produce copies that act as simulations and take on ontological form (also, when they do this which they havent yet, holo ghosts are a type of spirit marked by the will of the stratification inherent of wave-interjected representation as a base epistemic reality. the haunting of a hologhost happens through a dispersion of representation, essentially the metric itself becomes swollen not into false representation but into de-representative reality, which opens either its own realm or even rift depending on the outcome).
modern aura: holograms or their encoding are also the modern version of aura, tied to halos in that they happen due to the grammatization of the halogram. essentially, holo's are tied to the concept of "aura-farming" where impulse -> action -> experience -> encoding -> replay -> grammatization of memory -> new impulse forms its own loop that gives birth to a new ontology. but representationally, the modern version of aura is already connected to the conceptual but also literal practice of streaming, which isnt just a media practice but a real-time re-encoding of values through a reinterpollation of what a moment is (a moment as a series of photographs - conceptual not literal ones - that actually create a temporary benjamian aura thats tied to subjects rather than objects. the holo is simply the ontologization of this fact, but aura farming as such is already a type of representational and logical holo, not only due to its function but in order to further distinguish it from benjamian aura.
instanity/immediacy: an instagram is already happening through the platform-app-sovereign cloud by the same name, but immediacy is still ontologically fresh and subject to happenstance. moments themselves will get stretched, which dont give rise to mediation the way we understand it, but do complicate and evolve what happens in immediacy, basically what appears, what actions can be done, and what can be registered in any immediate moment. immediacy itself is accelerated to fit in with the tempo-demands of the world, so that intrinsically immediacy no longer serves mediacy on a base-by-base ratio but messes with the construction of mediation itself. as this happens, a binary and non-fluid, rigid, line-accentuated conflict happens between the two, where one always takes over a certain percentage of the totality of both and shifts the context of how they interact (more can be read in synkar's phenomenology of immediacy)
portal: refer to halo
proddity - private commodity, advanced and speculative, appearing in the far future. private ciruclation of a single extremely complex organism that self-duplicates and is "copied" around (what is copied is not just the object but all of its memories in the form of experiences as transfuzed into functional processes tied to the possession of the object. the primary passive act it corresponds to is worship, not use-value
hyperphoria: system-level condition in which bodies/acts/avatars detach from stable grounds under total technicization. its a future speculative ontology not currently in existence. hyperphoria produces subjects that accelerate their own bodily composition and consistently swap out their avatars in an attempt to artificially synchronize their felt sense of self with their now fully commodificationally derived product of their subjectivity or their idea of fundamental characteristics that pertain to them. since all of these characteristics only serve to feed into a composed market-form, none of them feel experienced, so the fundamental embodiement turns them into a kind of "store of the body". this isn't just a normally reified subject without a tiqqunian form-of-life such as in our contemporary world, but a fundamentally and increasingly anxious disposition, that ends up literally creating living artifacts, and sometimes, although rarely, living artworks on the very body of the hyperphoriac.
thymosis: a new psychological state where self-salience is replaced with world-salience due to hyperphoria. it also causes the death of alienation and its tiers (triple alienation basicallly causes non-alienation but it still leaves so called "fragments") whereas thymosis is basically the psychological destruction of the "bodily soul" instead of the "mind soul" as a result of the way the halo defines how hyperphoria occurs and which conditions it spawns. as a conbdition, thymosis doesnt present as a loss of reality but as a loss of the frame under which reality rests, basically a functionalization of phenomenology where total non-permamence of existence that nonethless is regulated by everchanging forms leads to hyperphoria - the dissolution of stable forms of safe, artifactification - under the guise of the hologram where new subjects are produced with lasting forms of novelty that nonetheless dont possess any aura - basically have no grounded or coded or obvious appearance or essence-level originality but nonetheless are suspended in a state where they are so alien to the current conditions of things that they "appear" as if they have aura but arent able to signify the unique constraints that make this possible. post-alienation (no stable ground not as a loss but a basic reality) de-framing and artifactification basically cause a total psychosis in certain states, but hyperphoria is usually light and ontology still has regulating mechanisms as mentioned, so thymosis requires a special condition, except its a physical and not a mental one (to speculate, it could be something like a situation where somebody experiences a halogrammatic delirium - basically they come into contact with too many halos too quickly)
de-framing, artification & post-alienation - refer to thymosis and halology
depiction vs. beloging in art: art is primarily "depicted" as itself rather than something else. the death of the author becomes ontological rather than epistemic when art itself becomes social rather than aesthetic, existential or political (it goes in this order of evolution). in this stage, beloging in art is belonging fully as a part of art, but functionally, so that others conceive your subjecthood not as reified but as directly depictive. zoos, spectacles and performances are training grounds for this future manifestation, but it is clear that the subject-actor is alienated from actual arthood in their own presentation in these forms. then, depiction itself goes from depicting nature-from-the-outside to depicting self-nature-from-the-inside. future art looks "medical" in this sense, and porn (as seen in synkar's "pornologicalities") quite literally is an early simulation of this deeper process of ontological artification.
cryptographic internality: capitalism's formlessness is due to the meritocracy of contemporary modernity, not due to capital as an entity. capital essentially hides its encryptions within encryptions, so that the moment you encrypt an object of value, you take in some of its value in a corrupted way that capital doesnt intend, but as a result lose most of the form but gain most of the intensity or value of said object all the same, hence the internality of encryption as crypto-cryption. cryptographs arent ontological, which is the only reason capital as such currently dominates
abstract labour: the world-exterior of capital and its speculative value will give birth to a new type of "politics of art" where symbolic value is in representing abstraction itself as marina vishmidt already shows, where basically abstract value is socially encoded through the lack of use value in something as speculative currency over circulation rather than over labour, where symbolic exchange happens as a circulation of messages that pertain to the shifting (extending/accelerating) of abstract value as such. this "artifies" political landscapes through media ecologies
modern/quartiary memory: memory becomes ontological rather than mnemotechnical as depicted under other terms. another way to speak of it is quartiary retention, in that retention itself is re-articulated into living rather than dead memory but shifts the landscape under which memory lands making it inequivocable with the first three forms.
hipster & celebrity: hologrammatic aura is used in the speculative future through halographs that swap the tiqqunian hipster (de-essentialized in soul but stable in-form alienated actor) and baudrillardian celebrity (essentialized soul but destabilized in-form alienated actor) the other way around. it becomes fashionable to lack an essence but to retain a stable appearance so as to prevent hyperphoria or even thymosis.
