A none at time of writing

intelligent building project X working title

by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi

multi-screen installation project Y working title

we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here

search-engine and navigation project Z working title

(a) « quoi de neuf - pussycat? »
(b) la femme Nikita

XYZ - XZY - ZYX - YZX

XYZ ((by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi) (we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here) (la femme Nikita))

XZY ((by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi) (la femme Nikita)(we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here))

ZYX ((la femme Nikita) (we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here) (by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi))

YZX ((we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here) (la femme Nikita) (by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi))

Q if the skeletal or bare-bones or outline structure provided by X = FORM and
(FORM = the CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURE of major and minor elements within an organization - clearly defined so that the structure operates in full [or limited full] comprehension of itself)

* full in terms of the artificial language used - * limited in terms of natural language

and if the contextually loaded Y = CONTENT
(CONTENT = the major NARRATIVE containing lesser NARRATION composed independently of the structure of the work to provide a social and political CONTEXTUALITY)

and if Z

possesses neither FORM nor CONTENT (other than in the most minimal sense) it may be an irrelevant or dysfunctional element
Q what is the value of Z?
A none at time of writing
and if also Z = a VACANCY for the insertion of user procedures and as such represents an ACT or an opportunity to act then Z represents the human interface and as such need have no ID)

part02

1 project X
building management system(s) and sensors - (working title)

by-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi

research
core aims and objectives of the intelligent building - available commercial mission statements and so on

component X AS shaping structure - umbrella - ignition and running procedures
component X NOT AS - not known at time of writing
Q should the database of the intelligent building be read as or seen to be in addition to its functionality as possessing content which may or may not be meaningful?
CONCLUDE - the intelligent building supplies a [conceptual] structure and meaningful content is in the minds eye of the user - unless a basic or simplified or pidgin language is inserted to come between X and Y
Q what purpose would the insertion of a natural language serve at this point?
A none at time of writing

2 projectY
multi-screen installation - (working title)

we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here

research
conceptual structures - J F Sowa - AI mental modelling
component Y AS - ignition & running in response to [aspects of] X
component Y NOT AS - standalone available for direct user response
Q should installation run independently?
A none
CONCLUDE - PLAY independent of X and Z demotes the notion of COMMUNALITY but promotes the idea of INDIVIDUATION

3 project Z
guardian - tracing agent - assassin - (working titles)

« quoi de neuf - pussycat? » la femme Nikita

part SEARCH (quoi…) part CLEAN (Ni-ki-ta) (cleaning agent)
research
component Z AS
either TXT ENT
or KYBD CMDS
or MS ACT

(onMouseOver onMouseOut onMouseEnter onMouse Within onMouseLeave)

or ALL
component Z NOT AS - to be determined
Q should enquiry be only remotely or tangentially related to other [2] components?
as it is - it is more routemaster than searching enquirer
A none at time of writing
CONCLUDE - Z should be [re]assigned to the status of SWITCHing device or ALTternatively Z should provide ENTRY to
(a) a discourse on X and Y
(b) a parallel text contextual to X or Y or X+Y
(c) a tracing agency
(d)an interrupt (or an assassin)

UNWITTING in HYPERPOLIS*
in this hyperpolis (*from the city of electronic signage of JMG le Clézio’s - The Giants) there are 3 (or 4) significant areas (although each (subroutines) may (areas) have within
.component X - the building = formerly by-m-by… is now ex nihilo nihil fit (out of nothing nothing comes)
Q does this structure support or not support sequential non-sequential(ism)?
A none at time of writing

.component Y - the site specific screens and projections installation - (site(s) as yet unspecified - formerly we’re here because we’re here… now obscurum per obscurius (the obscure explained by the even more obscure) supports [previously prepared] non-sequential writing
NB the regulation of topic selection and the running of installation obscurum per obscurius is a product of its unwitting or witless consultation with intelligent building x nihilo…
texts to include for example
(a) the index of evil - opportunities for financial investment in international terrorism - make a killing!
(b) concierge capitalism and the decline of socialism - a call for the resurrection of anarcho-syndicalism and a call for cost - the limit of price
(c) edge-breaking-ground-cutting - odd terminology in the service of empire building (academic - commercial and military) and other means to repression
(d) on not looking into [the] Chapmans’ œuvre - the Emin-ic trivialization of the visual arts - its conceptual innit?
NB screen and projection work obscurum per… also to provide a concurrently running instruction in scripting language
Q does this structure support or not support sequential non-sequential(ism)?
A none at time of writing
and as an adjunct to obscurum per… the

.component Z or ZZ factor supports orderly enquiry (search or navigation) from « quoi…» + clean (or kill ) from Ni-ki-ta
