<strong>of</strong> political desires in today’s hostile climate <strong>of</strong> universal informatics.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer these notes for a liberated computer language as a response<br />
to the new universalism <strong>of</strong> the informatic sciences that have subsumed<br />
all <strong>of</strong> Goux’s symbolic economics.<br />
Most computer languages are created and developed according to<br />
the principles <strong>of</strong> efficiency, utility, and usability. <strong>The</strong>se being but a<br />
fraction <strong>of</strong> the human condition, the following language specification<br />
shuns typical machinic mandates in favor <strong>of</strong> an ethos <strong>of</strong> creative<br />
destruction. <strong>The</strong> language contains data types, operators, control<br />
structures, and functions, the latter defined using a standard<br />
verb - object syntax adopted from computer science whereby the function<br />
name appears first followed by the variable being passed to the<br />
function (example: functionName VARIABLE).<br />

an entity that is not readable, writable, or executable<br />
but that exists<br />
an entity that questions its own status as an entity,<br />
which it may or may not actually be (see also Denial<br />
and Refusal)<br />
a null entity lacking any and all material or immaterial<br />
distinction. <strong>The</strong> empty type allows for dynamic<br />
creation <strong>of</strong> new, unimagined types at runtime.<br />
a fault or imperfection associated with another entity<br />
an entity that oscillates between two other data<br />
types<br />
contains the complete universe <strong>of</strong> all information and<br />
matter<br />
an associative entity connecting two or more other<br />
entities<br />
an entity that is readable, writable, or executable only<br />
on a hypothetical machine<br />
an entity that involuntarily expresses itself as any<br />
other data type
