Circular Linguisticities


Johann Eyfells, Circular Linguisticities, Aluminium

Does not our "what" display a fundamental lack of even the slightest need for an investigative scrutiny concerning the "latent" types of "force recipes" for its own generative powers and is thus, sadly, doomed to preside over a line of inquiry that is destined to become self-defeating and fundamentally unreal?

Since the "what" in our process of questioning implies that our examples refer to examples whose identities are backed up by an "admittedly" unsubstantiated, but entrenched, notion of unending sources of "stable" examples or, fractally speaking, by ever smaller versions of self-similarities, an improved form of our questioning approach might be to use the term "whence" in initiating interrogatory phases such as: whence come examples and the ever renewed series of new examples?

This added projection into depth forces us to leave behind the assumption that answers are already somewhere at hand, only in need of being deciphered from our established examples themselves. Also, this new perspective forces us to admit that our "what" referred in fact explicitly to a "content" that had already been "born" and thus forced our investigation to proceed in total darkness as to the nature of the "content" of our examples' content, or, in other words, making the EXTERNAL AND ACTIVE MEANING of things totally irrelevant.

An opportunity for the forging of a "new" imaginative thought-formulation capable of operating in "tandem" with, or to become an active"co-function" of, the external and formative latent meaning of the "content" of our examples' content becomes a possibility by the necessarily abstract act of contemplating the nature of the internal and entirely momentary conditions of changefulness. The need for this "new" exercise in imaginative abstraction, or the "peering" into a domain composed, enigmatically, of an unstoppable movement of formative activities, is due to the fact that our "habitual" and "natural" forms of knowledge cannot become the opportune vehicles for our investigative quest. We are, therefore, obliged to make a determined effort to replace "our" comparative way of thinking that seems "natural" with a "new" active dimension of creative thought formulated by contemplating and evaluating the characteristics and inner meaning of the deceptively unassuming term "unstoppable". In a resolutely strict sense, we must impose upon ourselves an abstract mental posture which forces us to think of birth or emergence as an "uncreated" reality without a beginning or an end, a reality that is outside of essence and form, where everything must be "thought"of as being simply in the process of coming into being ("pure" operational necessity or a Power Of Passage).
