Long Lasting Intimacy of Stengers (excerpt) 

This is scum, foam, dross, dirt, glucose, this is everyone who has been rising to surface, slowly heated for last few months... Hermes bird, as some alchemists called such vaporous residues. In sum, composite mind, long lasting intimacy of strangers, poses that this on vibration lecture is all on vibration lectures.

Etymologically, ancestrally, sum emerges from together, alike, same time, jointly, in company of... perversely who came to be known as synthetic. Everyone on this undulating manifold surface is half body, constantly beading up, mercurial, reflecting environment over a wide range of temporal states. Who I hear as this diffracts is a line from Ka, by Roberto Callaso:

How, if beings don’t stop pitching about, are we to perceive equivalences?

We’ll be trying to perceive here by drifting in between, guided by both pitch and equivalence, neither of whom allow us to move in a straight line.

We enter (and thus collapse?) wave function. Theoretically, though we’ll be adding to this, or drifting away, collapse is ‘moment’ when superposition reduces to single state due to interaction with environment.
