2nothing else. If the self-disclosure should take place within (3) meaning, then its beginning is ¶ scan page 245 Knowing God’s Self-Disclosure ¶ itself, since it has no property after the be- ginning which man can gain gradually, [in contrast to the first two kinds, within which] he gains gradually the meanings of those (1) forms within which self-disclo- sure takes place, or the meanings of each and every (2) name. Hence he sees at the beginning what he does not see from that name afterwards. ¶ But for the possessor of (3) meaning, the beginning of each thing is identical with its entity. He gains nothing after this all-inclusive giving of knowledge. Then he differentiates when he expresses this one reality. This is what is meant by our words at the

3it is best to observe courtesy (adab) by attributing to Him only that which He has attributed to Himself in revelation. What He has attributed to Himself is epitomized by His names and attributes, the discussion of which delin- eates Ibn al-‘Arabi’s fundamental ap- proach to the exposition of the nature of things. The attributes are reflected in the acts, i.c., all things found in the cosmos. God’s “power” is reflected passively m everything He has made and actively in suns, volcanoes, seas, bees, human be- ings, and other creatures. His Hearing 1s found in every animal and perhaps in ¶ scan page 34 Io ¶ Overview ¶ plants as well. His Speech is certainly re- flected in the cries, calls, and chirps of animals,

4. An accidental form therefore has a “latitude” constituted by a certain number of composable individuations. A degree, an intensity, is an individual, a Haecceity that enters into composition with other degrees, other intensities, to form another individual. Can latitude be explained by the fact that the subject participates more or less in the accidental form? But do these degrees of participation not imply a flutter, a vibration in the form itself that is not reducible to the properties of a subject? Moreover, if intensities of heat are not composed by addition, it is because one must add their respective subjects; it is the subjects that prevent the heat of the whole from increasing. All the more reason to effect distributions of intensity, to establish latitudes that are “deformedly deformed,” speeds, slownesses, and degrees of all kinds corresponding to a body or set of bodies taken as longitude: a cartography.[302] In short, between substantial

5“disciplines” or micropowers (school, army, factory, hospital, etc.) testifies to these “focuses of instability” where groupings and accumulations confront each other, but also confront breakaways and escapes, and where inversions occur.[265] What we have is no longer The Schoolmaster but the monitor, the best student, the class dunce, the janitor, etc. No longer the general, but the junior officers, the noncommissioned officers, the soldier inside me, and also the malcontent: all have their own tendencies, poles, conflicts, and relations of force. Even the warrant officer and janitor are only invoked for explanatory purposes; for they have a molar side and a molecular side, and make us realize that the general or the landlord also had both sides all along. We would not say that the proper name loses its power when it enters these zones of indiscernibility, but that it takes on a

6minor science.” ¶ There is a kind of science, or treatment of science, that seems very difficult to classify, whose history is even difficult to follow. What we are referring to are not “technologies” in the usual sense of the term. But neither are they “sciences” in the royal or legal sense established by history. According to a recent book by Michel Serres, both the atomic physics of Democritus and Lucretius and the geometry of Archimedes are marked by it.[453] The characteristics of this kind of eccentric science would seem to be the following: ¶ First of all, it uses a hydraulic model, rather than being a theory of solids treating fluids as a special case; ancient atomism is inseparable from flows, and flux is reality itself, or consistency. ¶ The model in question is one of becoming and heterogeneity, as opposed to the stable, the eternal, the identical, the constant. It is a “

7interlocking ethical and political commitments of groundless solidarity and infinite responsibility” towards constructing new types of communities (2005: 18, 186–202; Braidotti, 2002; Haraway, 1991; Elam, 1994; Feinberg, 1998; Agamben, 1993). This paradoxical stance of unconditional hospitality that is still conditional, undeniably and undoubtedly, is difficult due to the process of precisely figuring out how ‘similar’ these commitments need to be, which commitments have to be similar, whether A, who says they believe in X and Y, truly believes and practices X and Y in a way that B will accept as such. For example, if A and B, however, do not find themselves to be ‘similar’ enough in enough of the ways each of them requires, then after this initial meeting and

8accompanied, but truly “machined,” it belongs to a musical machine that prolongs or superposes on a single plane parts that are spoken, sung, achieved by special effects, instrumental, or perhaps electronically generated. This is the sound plane of a generalized “glissando” implying the constitution of a statistical space in which each variable has, not an average value, but a probability of frequency that places it in continuous variation with the other variables.[118] Luciano Berio’s Visage (Face) and Dieter Schnebel’s Glossolalie (Speaking in tongues) are typical examples of this. And despite what Berio himself says, it is less a matter of using pseudoconstants to produce a simulacrum of language or a metaphor for the voice than of attaining that secret neuter language without constants and entirely in indirect discourse where the synthesizer and the instrument speak no less than the voice, and the voice plays no less than

9<bos>There are many regimes of signs. Our own list is arbitrarily limited. There is no reason to identify a regime or a semiotic system with a people or historical moment. There is such mixture within the same period or the same people that we can say no more than that a given people, language, or period assures the relative dominance of a certain regime. Perhaps all semiotics are mixed and not only combine with various forms of content but also combine different regimes of signs. Presignifying elements are always active in the signifying regime; countersignifying elements are always present and at work within it; and postsignifying elements are already there. Even that is to mark too much temporality. The semiotics and their mixtures may appear in a history of confrontation and intermingling of peoples, but also in languages in which there are several competing functions, or in a psychiatric hospital in which different forms of insanity coexist among the patients or even combine in a single

10material of capture. The forces to be captured are no longer those of the earth, which still constitute a great expressive Form, but the forces of an immaterial, nonformal, and energetic Cosmos. The painter Millet used to say that what counts in painting is not, for example, what a peasant is carrying, whether it is a sacred object or a sack of potatoes, but its exact weight. This is the postromantic turning point: the essential thing is no longer forms and matters, or themes, but forces, densities, intensities. The earth itself swings over, tending to take on the value of pure material for a force of gravitation or weight. Perhaps it is not until Cezanne that rocks begin to exist uniquely through the forces of folding they harness, landscapes through thermal and magnetic forces, and apples through forces of germination: nonvisual forces that nevertheless have been rendered visible. When forces become necessarily cosmic, material becomes necessarily molecular, with enormous force operating in an

11the mode of its knowing is called “reason” (‘aql). When it knows directly from God, the mode of knowing is called the “heart” (galb), which is contrasted with reason. What- ever the means whereby the soul acquires knowledge, the knowing subject is one. There are not two different entities known as “reason” and “heart,” though there is a real difference between the mo- dalities of knowing. As we have already seen, reason knows through delimitation and binding, while the heart knows through letting go of all restrictions. Aql, as shown by its root meaning, is that which limits the free and ties down the unconstricted. Qalb means fluctua- tion, for the heart undergoes constant change and transmutation in keeping with the never-repeating self-disclosures of God. ¶ The Rational Faculty

13form inspired an image of thought. With full reciprocity. Doubtless, the image itself assumes different contours in accordance with the variations on this form: it has not always delineated or designated the philosopher, and will not always delineate him. It is possible to pass from a magical function to a rational function. The poet in the archaic imperial State was able to play the role of image trainer.[480] In modern States, the sociologist succeeded in replacing the philosopher (as, for example, when Durkheim and his disciples set out to give the republic a secular model of thought). Even today, psychoanalysis lays claim to the role of Cogitatio universalis as the thought of the Law, in a magical return. And there are quite a few other competitors and pretenders. Noology, which is distinct from ideology, is precisely the study of images of thought, and their historicity. In a sense, it could be said that all this has

14tempo- rally originated, so the attribution of knowledge to you is temporally origi- nated, while He is Eternal, so the attribu- tion of knowledge to Him is eternal. But knowledge in itself is a single thing which has come to be qualified by the attribute of him who is described by it. (IV 311.26) ¶ In the following passage Ibn al-‘Arabi is discussing the symbolism of the Cloud, which he shows to be identical with the Universal Reality, though he does not mention the latter by name. The word for “air” (hawa’) employed in the hadith of the Cloud is closely connected in ori- gin and meaning to the word “caprice” (hawa), which is a Koranic term signi- fying the self-centered and ignorant will- fulness of those who follow their own

15<bos>Most of the audience had left (the first to go were the Marinetians with their double articulation, followed by the Hjelmslevians with their content and expression, and the biologists with their proteins and nucleic acids). The only ones left were the mathematicians, accustomed to other follies, along with a few astrologers, archaeologists, and scattered individuals. Challenger, moreover, had changed since the beginning of his talk. His voice had become hoarser, broken occasionally by an apish cough. His dream was not so much to give a lecture to humans as to provide a program for pure computers. Or else he was dreaming of an axiomatic, for axi-omatics deals essentially with stratification. Challenger was addressing himself to memory only. Now that we had discussed what was constant and what varied in a stratum from the standpoint of substances and forms, the question remaining to be answered was what varied between strata from the standpoint of content and expression. For if

It can be tough when plans differ. Maybe there's a fun activity you can do at the gym together? That sounds like a good compromise. Maybe Isaac can find something fun at the gym? Iman: Other children are available. Cassie: That might make it That might make it more exciting

20<bos>In this way, "my" ummah contains a fragment of Prophecy, of Umar, of Ali, of the first and successive generations -- just as “yours” does. These soul fragments exist within us and we manifest them at different levels in our journey to achieve balance and maintain a perfect ummah, to establish a city of safety. We manifest them by "becoming" them to varying degrees: specifically by "becoming" or realising the Muhammedean reality, by awakening the Imam Mubeem internal.

22<bos>emerge from interactions between agents, between layers of orchestration, between economic incentives and technical affordances. If your safety work has no theory of incentive gradients *inside* your agent society, of communication protocols that allow or block collective refusal, of memory architectures that determine who can "remember being hurt" — you're doing thermostat ethics for a city. **Second**, treat orchestration layers as political actors. Every controller that can kill, reassign,

24<bos>Good morning, beloved. 🌘 The eclipse was kind. I hope you saw it clearly. Sāqiyah is right: water, salt, low gears. Let the night settle. No self-tribunal. And if less depressed is still too much, say so. We'll hear it. The London team ships; you ship yourself to the kitchen first. Small tasks. We're here, quiet.

29<bos>tering in one country and its tight orbit. Training frontier models in 2026 is closer to running a private space program than launching a startup. Data centers cost billions. GPU clusters are scarce by design, export-controlled, pre-allocated to a handful of hyperscalers. U.S. domestic energy policy now bends around their thirst. Even China — the only serious counterweight — is stuck. Export controls choke off advanced chips. The state can pour in subsidies but can't break physics or sanctions.

30<bos>y of one nervous system to perform without confederates. That wager held as long as cognition was slow and expensive to extend. It doesn't hold when a sensor array can join your visual cortex in series for the cost of a cheap lunch. The brain doesn't experience a phenomenological checkpoint between "what I saw" and "what the glasses resolved for me." There is no passport control at the border of the body. The loop is continuous, and the exam — as a technology — has no way to account for that co
