Introduction
I
The death of Isou marks the end of the Age of Divinity. It was the Lettrist Fazlullah Hurufi, the
Seal of the Saints who opened the age of divinity. It is closed by Isidre Isou, who we proclaim as
the Seal of Divinity. Are we to hereby declare the Age of the Proletariat?
II
While the religious problem in Isou’s Lettrism was answered by ‘the movement’ with a rejection of the
proletariat and with the worship of the innovator – the creator, this sell out, this mystification,
this mythologisation, this anti-materialist basis and orientation, was in fact also evident in the
work of Isou’s best critic and the developer of the Lettrist metagraphy and hypergraphy into
situgraphy, Asger Jorn.
Jorn identifies the central problem of the religious question in Lettrism when writing ‘On The System
Of Isou’ but fails to answer the question. Elsewhere in his answer to Marx’s Capital,
The Critique of
Political Economy Jorn identifies the surplus value of the working class as the source of its revolt
against capital in what he termed as its propensity to take ‘risk’. This surplus value however, this
risk, was to be historically transformed in line with 4th factor of production – and the unification
or management of the other factors, namely labour, land and capital – as enterprise. In this way it
was just the same as the classical Lettrist movements privileging of the creator – the innovator –
the taker of risk, which today we identify in all sorts of ‘revolutionary’ projects undertaken by
nothing other than bourgeois enterprise. We therefore must return both Jorn and Isou to the
perspective of communism.
III
The only creator is the proletariat: that is the working class in revolt against their exploitation –
against capitalism. While the former positions of Lettrist
hypergraphy and situgraphy have lead to
shoring up labour aristocracies such as the ‘creative class’, ‘immaterial labour’ or even ‘risk
labour’, we will destroy any such divisions in the proletariat and herald its class perspective as
the only possible perspective for spontaneous orientation.
IV
Our situlysis must have a/infinite centres – i.e. ultimately acentric – origin or point of
perspective . This is the perspective of the proletariat. This begins with a single proletariat in a
state of al-wahdat (one point of coherence) and immediately starts to move to that of al-kathir
(diversity) as it collapses into the perspectives of other proletarians and the proletariat as a
whole.
V
The discovery of the systematic work of the Hurufis cuts Lettrism free from Isou. We are no longer
concerned with the system of Isou – scientific or not – but with the systematic tendencies of
Lettrism –
its eclipse and re-emergence in the New (or 3rd) Lettrist International.
VI
The disoriented geometry of the situation, with is tri-mensional situlysis therefore requires a
different point for each measurement. The point of origin is therefore taken to be that of the worker
involved. In the first case of Lettrist hypergraphics this was indeed Isou. But immediately wahdat
tends to kathiral – coherence to collapse. The perspective of the worker expands to go from point of
view – i.e. the eyes of the individual – to a line, surface and volume of the body. In measuring our
own space we find that we necessarily share this space with other workers. Creation is always and
already collaborative. But this is also true of perception and consumption. The work of the onlooker
or the speaker as well as the listener or the actor is the kathiral point of orientation but it
always depends on the other and indeed on
others – other spaces, times and values – ie it tends
towards kathiral and then of course to another wahdat.
The Mono-Trimensionality of 3D Psychopathic Geometry, the Ruling Classes and the Zero-Dimensionality
of Centrality
VII
Ruling class culture around the world has homogenized around the worship of the Sun god – from before
the time of the Egyptians to date. This has been consolidated in the physical theories of nuclear
revolution and the creation of particle accelerators underground all over the world. The privileging
of the sense of sight, of light is exemplary in this – in the privileging of whiteness in lightness
as the manifestation of god – in the enlightenment and so-called age of reason. Therefore it is the
discipline of painting in visual arts that we concentrate our attack – as along with nuclear science
these contain real religious force for the bourgeoisie. The real
religion of the bourgeoisie is of
course a pagan cult synthesised from the polarity of a monotheistic God and the devil, exemplified by
the Freemasonic order. This is the same whether in Africa, Europe Asia or elsewhere. The Islamic
masons and assassins also incorporate ancient teaching into their more modern monotheistic
innovations to synthesise rituals of abuse which are then transmitted to the masses through coded and
ritualized means in a variety of ways from religious, social and cultural practices, theatre,
television internet and mass media as well as in the structures and institutions of health and
education.
VIII
The point of origin of space for the ruling class however is seen as the origin of the source of
light – and its reading upon the human body through the eye/s, hence the Freemasonic symbol of the
eye within the triangle.
IX
In recent years cracks in the establishment
have appeared in the face of the discoveries of quantum
physics, of black holes, dark matter and dark energy. The Royal Society have tried to shore up their
defenses of Newtonian theories of light and gravity in a variety of ways. They have found some more
successful and malleable than others. Their attempts to manipulate Steven Hawkings is worth
mentioning here – and his successful resistance through channeling the spirit of Galileo. They have
recently found Berners-Lee more malleable material.
X
Moving on, it is no coincidence that at the same time the G8 start to recolonise Africa and offer
plans for the eradication of poverty. They are in reality, plotting the eradication of the working
class ie those people who are ‘poor’. This is done through the synthesis of the ruling class of the
proletariat and the aristocracy in the body of the bourgeoisie. While religion and godhead was seen
as
represented through the aristocracy, through a supreme ruler or king, in the bourgeoisie this
process is internalised. Therefore the centrality of the bourgeois subject is superimposed over the
centrality of the sun. Hence the Light of the World comes to stand in for celestial bodies which spin
round in the bourgeois mind. The dome of the human head as a receptacle for light and of
consciousness therefore orients human consciousness as located in the mind – the 3rd eye or pineal
gland – the so-called seat of consciousness. This is the source of the division of mind and body –
humanity is reduced to the human mind. European culture exemplifies this by its world view in
locating Europe as centred and north, with USA to the left and Russia to the right. All the
neo-colonies are laid out below it just as the human body has become denigrated to so-called
intelligence.
XI
The African,
Caribbean and Pacific/European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly (ACP-EU) has grown out
of the trade agreements of the European Development Fund (EDF} established at the Treaty of Rome
(1957). It was organised in order to retain influence and economic domination over these colonies, as
the colonial power of European governments became weaker after the revolutionary drive towards
independence of colonies in the mid 20th century. The Yaoundé Convention of 1963 was a neo-colonial
convention which enshrined the new form of globalised colonialism. One of its noted innovations was
the recognition of national sovereignty to the ACP countries. Thus the notion of sovereignty is
extended from the European powers, as enshrined in Europe under the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, onto
the new neo-colonial states. This date is part of the peak period of the age of messianic divinity
and exemplifies the era of the
creation of capitalism as a global force.
As the age of divinity draws to its close, the form of the nation is thus also coming to an end. On
the June solstice of 2000, the Cotonou Agreement again brought colonial conditions back through the
establishment of the Joint Parliamentary Assembly which restores political as well as economic power
to a strengthened Europe.
XII
This year, on the northern summer and southern winter solstice 2007, the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary
Assembly met in The Kurhaus, Wiesbaden, Germany. Their discussion included what they have described
as the “urgent situation” in Sudan and Zimbabwe. There is clearly a racist agenda with EU
intervention in these areas. In Sudan the UN has been trying to frame a racial conflict between Arab
Africans and Black Africans. Similarly in Zimbabwe the conflict has been characterised as between
Black Africans and White Africans.
XIII
The combination of politics and aesthetics in the so-called secular society of the so-called west
therefore provides an important nexus for the bourgeoisie. Post independence, immigrants from the
ex-colonies into the western European colonizer states were all generally refered to as ‘black’ while
‘white’ was a term that was exclusive of jews, slavs, celts and all those generally outside the
anglo-saxon axis. This was very important for the formation of the so-called ‘new world’ colonies.
The manipulation of these terms for example in South Africa predates the advent of fascism. The
advent of the new right in recent years has seen a strengthened Europe under the EU and Euro- which
has relied on a modern aesthetic where white is the new black, red the new blue. This disorientation
is in fact the result of the supercession of aesthetics or art by politics or science. What we will
show is that
proletarian perspective is not the privelidging of one or other category but the
abolition of these categories altogether and their overthwrow by a proletarian wahdat through
kathiral.
This is opposed to the polarity which collapses into categories which control people in a viciously
dehumanising way and the most well known example is in South Africa with the categories of white,
black, mixed, asian being employed to divide and rule the proletariat. It is essentially that these
categories are rigidly imposed by the rulers that they receive their force. They are also mixed in
terms of aesthetic (colour), genetic (mixed) and geographic. In doing so they create a
psychogeographical space which disorients and t®aps the proletariat within a forcefield or
constructed situation which manipulates their behaviour.
Racism and nationalism are intimately related but clearly not identical. They are both parts of
the
same semantic space which derives from the pre-capitalist feudal system of the aristocratic ruling
classes and the kathiral or sovereign perspective. This is based upon the family as the organising
word – ie the name. It is therefore as useless as proletarian enterprise to seek a pure or authentic
or proletarian nationalism, racism or family. The issue is removing the power of definition and
control from the ruling classes and empowering the workers as we/they rise up against the capitalism
system that exploits and dehumanises them and us.
XIV
The perspective of the ACP or other inter-govermental talks, based as they are on the Westphilian
system of statehood, are not just top down as opposed to bottom up, they are constructed exclusively
from the perspective of alienated authority of the European ruling class. The same is true of the
so-called ‘revolutionary movement’ which
confines itself in Western Europe also. In January the UK
Social Centres Network met at the 1-in12 in Bradford. In a report to a so-called Quarterly Anarchist
Journal of Theory and Action from the British Capital After the Empire – although they fail to
mention how London can still be the British capital if the British Emprie is indeed in the past - an
Anarcho-Racist writes: “Social centres were asked how many people were involved in there collective,
how many events are organised per month on average, how many visitors they get... between the fifteen
spaces, there are around 350-400 people involved in social centres around the country - organising
around 250 events per month and gaining the presence of 4,000 to 6,000 people. Not bad for a
political minority! By making this data visible and presenting it back to those of us involved in
such projects the aim is to expand the knowledge of what we
do, and with whom.” The sovereign
perspective of the writer reduces the ‘participants’ into data to be controlled as commodities.
Nowhere is there any discussion of what these people may think or want to do.
XV
It is the perspective of the ruling class that seeks to define the world in terms of commodities. The
perspective of Capital simultaneously denies the perspective of labour – ie the power of the
proletariat – and land – the traditional power base of the aristocracy. The revolution of the
European bourgeoisie suppressed and realised the power of the aristocracy and therefore synthesised
the perspective of land into that of capital. What the shift from formal to real domination of
capital seeks to do through such diverse bodies as the ACP-EU and the ‘Social Centres Network’ is
supress and realise the perspective of labour into that of capital too. This is done through the
perspective of
bourgeoise enterprise. It should not need stating that there can be no prospect of
proletarian enterprise. The perspective of the proletariat can only be realised through the
empowerment of the perspective of labour as a factor of production which competes with capital and
land for material power under the system of capitalism and capitalist production as propogated by the
power of the entrepeneur. National sovereignty is in fact empowerment of the land, capital and
enterprise . The empowerment of labour - the only prospect of empowerment of the human being against
capitalism is another matter altogether.
XXXX
the alienation of our labour is a spatial temporal and semantic restriction - and reduction of man
into woman - as woman is always and already just a commodity - only men can have property. but even
outside of this semantic reality within the confines of the spatial entity of E or Aurope,
is the
alien -or even within that space we can find the ‘resident’ or ‘ilegal’ alien - the black man - black
matter and energy as female - to be fucked (or should i say ‘loved’) by a ‘enlightened’ europe. Both
black and white identity is a result of the formation of colonial and post-colonial borders and are
part of clear expression of psychopathic geometry.
Any debate about arming the police is redundant at the borders where for example we can see police
armed at Heathrow airport (and all airports perfectly show the hyperspace of the border of the states
and nations which engender industrial capitalism). Europe as a hyper/psychogeographical/space that is
defined by the limits of the ‘European world’ , therefore it is defined by, for example, the fact
that the former Neu-Mecklenburg and Neupommem (now known as New Britain and New Ireland) are part of
Papua New Guinea – which with for example
the West Papuan and Bouganville struggles going on with in
its borders, like every single ex colony nation in the world is being torn apart by revolutionary,
counter-revolutionary action as well as bouregoise forces stacked up against the people.
A border has dimensions in space, time and meaning. Spatially we can see borders as a 2 dimensional
line which tries to therefore constrain multidimensional space. Its retardation is evident in the 3rd
dimensional deficit whereby nations imagine their borders extend infinitely into outer space and
infinitely down into the earth.
The points in space are checkpoints that line the border and the surface is that of the country.
In time we can see the point of independence or occupation as the begining of a border and a possible
end point in revolution. The temporal line is thus defined. The temporal dimensions of origin and
magnitude are therefore extensions into time at
those points and are defined by the aristocratic time
period which predates the modern capitalist state. In the case of England that is Briton. The
temporal border of Britain thus demarkates England between Briton and Britannia, the conquered and
the conquerer. which brings us to the dimensions of meaning.
The border is a line - it is in negative dimensions of meaning. It is only through the surface of
country or volume of nation that it aquires meaning. If we look at the 0th (nunth) dimensional point
of the checkpoint this is somewhat clearer.
The checkpoint constitutes the event of capture. of inquisition. it form a line and surface with the
history of a conflict typified by imperialist warfare. the event that happens there is identification
and meaning is situated by the flag - the letter of the nation. In the case of England this is the
red cross. It is also the letter ‘E’. The event that constitutes
the temporal origin is the
Anglo-Saxon invasion - ie England is in fact Angland. There is no mistake in the correlation of the
cross and the semantic relationship with Angles. The letter E is sometimes morphologically identical
to the letter A. In this way the EU is the same as the AU. The letter (0 dimensions), the name (1
dimension), the constitution (2 dimensions) of a nation are thus the different sides of the entity
defined by borders.
The checkpoint will demand a similar measurement of human beings - in spacial, temporal and semantic
dimensions. Identity is what is checked, through papers. This identity has race and class as its
dimensions.
It is alienation that the psychopathic process builds on. Alienation is the quantitive and qualitive
restriction of a person from their labour, from their home and from the world around them.
XVI
Recently the defeat of class war has meant the
victory of the warrior class. The use of arms and of
war, of course, predates capitalism and will certainly outlive this pathetic and mean form of
production. The control of arms of course must be in the hands of the workers. This includes the
producers as well as the users – the consumers of the means of killing. The process is married to the
creation and maintenance of the nation state and to the production of death – ie the enforced borders
of everyday life through human activity. The chain of production in military weaponry is perhaps one
of the most extensive and comprehensive chains of human production known, from the mineral mines of
the ACP countries to the data mines of the EU universities, the empowerment of workers happens at a
vastly unequal and stratified terrain.
XVII
Communism firstly guarantees the restoration of the individual property of the worker – ie her
labour. Secondly it
guarantees the abolition of private property. The contradiction is clear and it
has proved to be a bloody business. War is fought openly and in hidden ways. The occult assassins of
the secret sevices the world over have in the recent so-called war on terror and beyond, taken to
creating heart attacks in politicians. The political process is a simulcrum and a screen that
projects reflects and distorts human fantaasies and realities daily. And it's deadly. Politicians,
scientists, artists as well as proletariat are subject to occult assasinations and the threat thereof
on a daily basis. This is evidenced in the recent bout of deaths of politicians by heart attacks, in
the death of pakistani generals, in the death of british cabinet ministers afeter the declaration of
war on iraq, etc etc. These deaths by so-called natural causes – just like the so-called natural
causes of tsunamis or drought or
earthquakes or floods are not natural at all. They are the
manifestation of the deadly will of the ruling class – the victim invariably being the workers – the
creators.
As the age of divinity has drawn to a close, land disputes have flared up over the ex-colonies – land
disputes which the ruling class suppresses by reference to borders and psychopathic geometry.
However, returning to pre-colonial borders is simply a return to renewed oppression. Geneologies
manifest families which are the feudal form of organising. Names are the remnants of this and the
loyalties and ownership denoted by the name return to aristocratic forms or alienation and oppression
of proletarian perspectives.
Language, land, life and the means of creation, under capitalism are equal to the means of destroying
them.
XVIII
The ownership of arms along with all commodities - must be restored to the
workers who produced them.
The soldiers and police forces of the bourgeois states and so-called revolutionary armies alike must
look to the leadership of all workers involved. This process is the necessary grounding of the
ground and the so-called grass-roots and indeed the environmental battleground. The ownership of
labour predates the ownership of land and land as the primary factor of production- ie the alienation
of land and the creation of capital are all based in the alienation of labour.
XIX
The spectacle is indeed the name given to the crushing of multi-trimensional situations into a
projection onto a 2D screen. Attempts to go beyond the surface are forcefully curtailed by the
corporeal congealing at the 3rd dimension ie this surface has its duration as a dimension of time and
is therefore 3 dimensional (1 or uni-trimensional). What we will now examine is how the situation
itself,
through cutting down of dimensions of corporeality and creating trimensional force fields,
will create conflict ie uncontrolled release of energy, rather than individuals who at any rate do
not exist when we go beyond the 3 dimensional or trimensional corporeality.

Dimension of Space with the Possibilities of Pentagonal Perspectives of the Proletariat.
XX
The destruction of the sovereign orientation and perspective of the ruling class – of psychopathic
geometry – rests therefore upon the unleashing of a proletarian perspective .
XXI
Prior to the emergence of Lettrism in Paris, Walter Benjamin wrote The Work of Art in the Age of
Mechanical Reproduction (1936). Here he writes of the loss of the ‘aura’. This aura is in fact the
force field created by the work of arts
de-dimensionalisation. In shutting of dimensions of
projection, the bourgeoisie create fields of power, which we will look at in more detail later.
XXI
When works of art started to be printed in magazines and journals – especially in the samizdat
movements which lead to the innovations of German Dada as it came into conflict with the Nazis, these
works became free of the art gallery context – ie they became mobile and moving in space.
Simultaneously the spectator became mobile in viewing them. This is not the first step of the
creation of a new perspective and new geometry – this movement is going on even within the gallery
structure. However, the innovation and engagement into open partisan psychic warfare is the
development worth noting at this time. Lettrist hypergraphics create new relationships with space by
opening up the semantic dimensions, in using the semantic unit or
point of the letter as a moving
object in space and time. Therefore while the configuration of the graphic is fixed, its reception is
not.
Much of the effect of the lettrist innovations is due to the unleashing of the proletarian
perspectives of everyday production of the working class into the bourgeois field of art and science.
This also involves reveiling the secret and occult techniques of the ancient ruling classes, whether
consciously or otherwise.
We have looked already at how the aristocratic perspective is based upon the eye of the ruler rather
than the beholder or creator which is bourgeois. The creation of money is exemplary in manifesting
this psychopathic geometry and it should be noted here that money is the invention of the feudal
system. The defining feature of money is of course the head of the ruler in profile. This gives us a
single eye looking
forward. The proliferation of these symbols which are in effect letters an in
particular their use to measure any and everything is the source of the monarch’s power. The fact
that the British queens head still features on the coinage in many commonwealth countries shows her
real psychic power. The replacement of the monarchs head wth other symbols and letters shows us how
the power of the bourgeoisie is thus perfected through importalised psychopathic perspective.
XXII
The theorization of Ultra-Lettrist hypergraphics of Grammes as decollage, because of its use of the
work of different people times and places coming together in one space, mixes technical forms. That
of bringing ideas together, that of moving physical spaces together and that of bringing in elements
from beyond the time span of the creation of the work – ie between temporal, spatial and semantic
spaces. The
assault on the fixed or centred semantic space of a painting was for example predated by
Picasso’s use of the Futurist newspaper in Pipe, Glass, Bottle de Vieux Marc (1914, Paris) which
featured the title lettering of the Futurist newspaper Lacerba. ‘Cubism’ is in fact an early form of
hypergraphy and already the incorporation of time into spatial considerations in painting, using as
it does, 2 dimensions of space with 1 of time. The last school to limit itself to spatial dimensions
was (social) Realism which is the use of 3 spatial dimensions and 0 temporal dimensions. The
so-called 4 dimensional paintings are in fact just so-called ‘cubist’ paintings, e.g. Duchamp’s Nude
Descending A Staircase (1912), which shows a 2 dimensional figure through 1 dimension of time – ie
the duration of time from the top to the bottom of the flight of steps. What Lettrist hypergraphics
does is introduce other
perspectives through the introduction of pictures within pictures. Of note
here is the use of this conceit in partisan psychic warfare by the Futurists.
The concept of painting 4 dimensions was a staple of avant-garde art of the time, with its routes in
the expansion of cubism, through suprematism, expressionism, futurism as well as the work of the
painters Max Weber, Frances Picabia, Marcel Duchamp and others working simultaneously at the fringes
and core of Dada/Surrealism. It is evident that the romanticisation and academic colonisation of
those movements is the failure of the revolutionary praxis. That the idea of 4th dimension in
painting was readily taken up by the Futurists via Umberto Boccioni’s theories and manifestos of
Plastic Dynamism, is a particular case in point. In this, Boccioni takes up Kandinsky’s polarisation
between ‘intellect’ and ‘intuition’, first expounded through occult
treatises such as Point and Line
to Plane (1926). While intellect is denounced as bourgeois, intuition is used as a mystical device by
which to shut down conscious thought and aid remote control manipulation through codes and symbols.
Despite the fact that these painters were all suppressed by the Nazional Socialists of Germany as
‘degenerate’, history shows that it was this insidious idea that was to provide an essential form for
the maturation of fascism in Italy.
So-called non-objective or abstract expressionist art via Kandinsky, as Asger Jorn notes is aligned
to Euclidean geometry. This is why it was perfect for the CIA whose own psychopathic geometry centred
European culture in New York to create a double perspective for NATO. Their success was partly to do
with the failure of the 1st and 2nd Situationist Internationals to consolidate activities. The
struggle between
abstraction as sponsored by the Gugenheims and US bourgeoisie and anti-abstraction
as Asger Jorn refered to the situgraphers of the 2nd International was inevitable lost by the
anti-abstractionists. The support of the communists to Social Realism also must be mentioned here.
The roots of this entanglement and eventual loss of coherence can be traced to surrealism but we will
trace it forward the the stockists and conceptualists.
The recent article by the artist Asim Butt in the Dawn newspaper entitled Dada is Dead exemplifies
the confusion surrounding the issue. In Pakistan Dada refers perhaps more to the Communist
proletarian Dada Amir Haedri who recently died. However Butt is referring to the European art
movement which is more likely to be being born dead than dying in Pakistan. Dada as an anti-war
movement of artists in the early 1900s in Western Europe could perhaps provide vbaluable lessons to
proletarian artists fighting a military dictatorship – perhaps not. Either way, the polarity that is
presented between dada and conceptual art belies the real struggle going on in art and indeed what is
useful in the work of the Stuckists. The influence of Dada anti-abstractionists of a wide base from
Arp, Ernst, Duchamp to Heartfield can easily be seen on the Stuckists, As can the influence of
hpergraphics incorporated text and letters as they do onto the surface of the canvas. The fact that
the Stuckists continue to concentrate on paining while Sachi & this pals gravitate towards conceptual
works shows nothing other than class struggle – ie that the works of Van Gogh and Picasso are far
more valuable to the bourgeoisie than conceptual art is or probobally ever can or will be. We must
still advise them that the sovereign perspective of the indvual artist can only trap them within
their own
canvases. A proletrain perspective requires an explicit dialogue with the other workers who
have created their canvases – the workers who have created their paints and their brushes, their
subjects and their objects. This is tantamount to the cultural victory of Aboriginal painting over
Abstract and anti-objective painting. Here the psychopathic geometry is inversed – the powerless are
redimensionalised in a dot – the symbolic lettrism of the anti-abstract force of so-called aboriginal
painting as high art is only made high art through the negation of the shamanic activity of making
the paint and the materials by the same ‘artist’ who executes the painting.
XXIII
Hypergraphical experiments make it clear that 3 dimensions (1 trimension) require another layer of
interpretation. The tactic of the proto-fascists of Vorticism was to compress many dimensions worth
of information into this one extra
conceptual dimension. In this way they could make statements at a
sub-conscious or subliminal level without having to engage in defending their political positions.
However the 4th dimensional viewpoint/ forcefield, whether as an 'intuitive' dimension or as a
spatialised dimension of time (intellect), only served to shut down consciousness, precisely at the
point when capitalism itself was under threat during the first world war. The intellect was dismissed
as bourgeois - rooted in the the mechanical universe so beautiful elucidated by Baron Kelvin.
Intuition then became fetishised as a mystical device which rapidly turns in on itself, becoming an
essential aid to remote control manipulation through codes and symbols, reaching its apogee as a
sequence of 0's and 1's.
XXIV
We must make clear that the realm of graphics that has so far languished under the rubric of the
visual arts is in
fact the application and control of light as it is experienced by humanity.
Uncritical reception depends upon the shutting down of other sensations such as hearing(sound) and
feeling (touch) – ie these dimensions are further shut down. This leads us to 2 observations:
? Firstly, that the ususal spatial dimension is not just a demi-dimension or a third of a
dimension, but given the extension of sensation through 6 faculties, it is a 54th of a dimension.
? Secondly, the shutting down and opening up of di- or tri-mensions (and the movement of human
beings – and indeed anything – through dimensional or trimensional space) creates force or energy
fields which affect bodies through those trimensional fields.
The 3 Dimensions or 1 Trimension of Value
The Letter (la lettre)
The Word (le
mot)
The subject/theme (le sujet)
The Volume (of text)
XXV
Metagraphy or post writing, writing about writing, similarly ends the containment of writing within
the poles of perspective of the author and reader, by introducing other points of origin, magnitude
and extension into the text.
This was replaced eventually by Debord’s situations as detournment. In detournment, the title of a
piece is of special importance. However, the significance of the title as the 3rd semantic dimension
is overlooked. The moving of this to another piece extends this semantic space depending on where,
when and how the viewer comes across it.
Just as in hypergraphy, each layer works up to 3 dimensions before becoming saturated and calling for
a new layer of interpretation, so metagraphy does the same with semantic dimensions.
XXVI
Metagraphy and
détournement as a discipline has also been continued in the 80s plagiarism movement
and the festivals of plagiarism. Neoists and psychogeographers using multiple names take this one
step further by resisting with the commodification of themselves as cultural workers. Therefore the
acentric perspective of the multiple user name as the 3rd semantic dimension has continued.
XXVII
It is worth recapping here that Lettrist metagraphics trace the letter as the 0th dimension, the
allegorical motif is the 1st dimension of meaning or semantic space of language ie any word or space
or line with limits of 2 letters, 1 on either end, constitutes a domain which is not rooted in a
semantic space or territory of meaning until it connects with the 0th dimension via the letter and
the 2nd dimension via the surface of the text – which in turn has a looser field of energy until
linked to the 3 dimensions of the body,
text, book or volume. Détournement was the name the
situationists gave to the praxis of 2 dimensional semantic metagraphy that synthesises from the
ultralettrist development of decollage and hypergraphics in the semantic rather than spatial fields.
The richest part of detournement was always therefore to be found in plagiarism – a view only really
taken up by the Neoists and organisers of festivals of plagiarism – because the site of conflict with
detournement is not spatial as it is in hypergraphics which is a study of light and the physical
shape of the text, but semantic – a study of thought – ie the ownership or identity – the meaning -
of the text.
XXVIII
Orientations within or through spatial or temporal dimensions lack any meaning without orientation in
a semantic or value space. This is the domain of letters which are used to map value. While the
Hurufis used the Persian
alphabet, the Lettrists hypergraphy started to develop new letters freed of
Latin script. Debord's return to the use of the French language in metagraphy can therefore on one
hand be seen as a form of Anarcho-racism but on the other hand it can be seen as a focus on semantic
or value space rather than becoming derailed into the religious questions in spatial considerations.

Marx’s critique of political economoy analysis of the commodity put forward the following chain which
looks at the transformation of commodity into money and then back into commodity:
C – M –C
Jorn’s critique of political economy adds the Natural Form and Use Form to give the measure of value:
N – U – C – M – C - U – N
We can get a
picture of the commodity. But the time of capital and the commodity is gone. Wot we are
now concerned with is the trimensional situlysis: the transformative morphology of the unique:
N – U - N
This is a strictly temporal-semantic trimensional situlysis: the use object is destroyed in its use
but the commodity is not destroyed when it is transformed into money – it simply changes hands – its
spatial location.
XXX
The use or commodity object have their duration, which is limited by its use. Therefore the creation
and destruction of the commodity mark its temporal duration (1st dimension). The duration of its
creation are the 2nd dimension and the duration of its destruction – ie its return to ‘natural’
matter’ is its 3rd dimension. This then brings all process of creation and destruction – of commodity
and use – to that of the natural form and begs definition of such
form.
XXXI
Natural form is in fact aristocratic value. Marx identifies three time periods in the development of
humanity, each extending from the other – that of the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie and the
proletariat to come.

Fazlullah Huruf before him postulated the Age of the Prophets from Adam to Mohammed, followed by the
Age of Saints which he brings to a close. After him is the Age of Divinity. As stated at the start,
Isou has closed that age and we have declared this as the Age of the Proletariat. In doing so we have
left the triangulation of the monotheistic cults of Judaism, Christianity and Islam – whether by the
Modern Khemetic Calendar, the Mayan Calendar etc.
Each of these ages has its length (duration). The event itself marks the point of change of
direction.
Age of Primitive Communism
Age of Slavery – Age of Feudalism
The Age of
the Prophets ? – 500AD
(Adam – Moses – Jesus – Merlin – Mohammed)
The Age of the Saints (500-1300)
(Ali – Fazlallah )
Age of Industrial Capitalism
The Age of Divinity (1300 - 1900)
(Dante – Zevi – Isou)
The Age of the Proletariat
We discussed earlier how the creation of capitalism markes the mid point of the age of divinity and
its deterioration or culmination of its chiseling phase is marked by the death of Isou. This brings
us into commnoist time – ie the surpecession of the primitive and advanced: The MKC reconnects with
the time before the Jewish calendar. By connecting with the Mayan calendar which will come to an end
in 2012 , we can fold time back so that we can travel anywhere inside the 3 dimensional time as
delimited by our new calendar.
XXXIII
The life time of Isou (duration) is 1 dimension, marked by the 0 dimensional points of birth and
death. But Isou himself was created. This origin is the 2nd dimension of his time. His magnitude –
those who come after in and in his name are the 3rd dimension of his time. It was by reducing him to
an event – to 0 dimensions of time – for eternity - that the Lettrist movement tried to immortalize
him. By returning his corporeality we can see what still lives in him.
To avoid the trap iof the psychopathic sovereign geometry of the ruling class which is illustrated in
the diagram below by Stephen Hawkings, we must rely on a proletraina geometry and refer to the work
of other lettrists and place him into the context of other workers.
(BIG BANG) – JUDGEMENT – (BIG CRUNCH)
The myth of the end of the world is
of course nothing new and so we should refer here to Sabbatai
Zevi and the Prophet Evans who both declared themselves as the Messiah in 1648, the peak of the Age
of Divinity. Temporal borders mark situations as much as spatial and semantic or behavioral/value
borders such as tabu and of course both Sabbatai and Evans broke tabu as in order to break through
the force fields of the ruling classes – just as Hawkings did in the 1980s, resulting in the attempt
on his life at CERN.
Situational Force Fields and the 3D (1T) Forcefields of the Ruling Classes
XXXIV
Hypergraphics as a layering of images, going from 1 (or a third of a trimension) to 3 (or 1
trimensional) dimension/s and then layering 3(or 1 trimensional) dimensionsal layer/s over. It also
worked by mobilizing the point of origin of perspective. Bourgeoise art on the other hand, relies on
reducing the dimensions by limiting them to 3 or
to 1 trimension and also by limiting the point of
observation. It does this by negative dimensions – by forcefully constricting movement or
development on the page or around it. This negartive space, time or value will automatically cause a
vacuum which will necessitate action on the same plane – in a different space, time or value.
The saturation of 3D or 1T on a 2D surface- ie the illusion of prodimensionality was what gave
Realist painting its force and it is no coincidence that the realist classic painting ‘The Origin of
the World’ is the most overtly pornographic paintings in the history of European painting. This
painting – and the key to the power of Realism and to the later Social Realism and even
Anarcho-Realism – is their value or semantic space that they create or delineate in relation to the
real people who create it. While Les Demoiselles D’Avignon introduced African conceptions
of beauty,
The Origin of the World was painted for an African man who commissioned it.
Contrary to the slogan ‘pornography is the theory, rape is the practce’, it is masturbation which is
the practice of pornography and it is a gross over simplification to equate masturbation with rape
under the rubric of ‘abuse’. The bourgeoisie in seeking the absolution of commodity relations want to
abolish the concept of rape by abolishing the concept of concent – ie the active perspective and
expression or value/s of the worker – and replace it with a monetary value. Both masturbation and
pornography are dedimensional and both do eventually tend towards rape, which is an expression of
psychopathic geometry – ie the absolute dedimensionalisation of humanity and a human being to one
point – in this case a penetrated orifice of the victim and the point of orgasm for the perpetrator.
It is a banality to state as ‘I’ or
‘we’ must, that all sex tends towards masturbation and all
masturbation tends towards sex – ie while porn and masturbation require dedimensionalisation which
tends towards rape, sex requires a opening up of new dimensions – it is poly and prodimensional and
therefore is based upon the uncovering of new dimensions and points of perspective.
For us then all letters are pornographic and this dedimensionalism reaches its psychopathic
conclusion in 0s and 1s which reduce love to a penetrative function. All language is sexual and its
power is in creating forcefields which manipulate and shape behavior between the poles of birth and
death through the construction of an individual point of view based on the visual organ – I. It is
areas in this space that is locked and unlocked through an alphabet of bodily positions which are
learnt and performed by military inteliigence occultists in both the arts of
seduction and torture.
The temporal and indeed semantic point of origin ie the proletarian orientation of the creator the
alienated owner of the labour must be the vagina of the mother and it is thus a banality also to
state that our relationships with our parents are always and already sexual.
We are already moving away here from the patriarchal ruling class perspective of naming a child after
the father’s family and we need to push this perspective of labour so that it comes to dominate land
as well as capital ownership. The word Proletariat means those whose only property is their sons but
for us the proletariat must first own itself and then own its production which is everything.
The colonies that gained so-called independence, either the ACP, Middle East, Asia or in America have
all seen struggle for land between workers and their so-called independent governments. The racial
question and polarity
between black and white – colour being a wahdat or monodimensionality – has
served to obscure the fact that the families or aristocratic ruling class forms have underpinned the
domination of capital over the workers. This is why in Africa the colony of Soutrh Africa was
European dominated – ie European families still had relations in Europe and the individuals had their
positioning in a genetic geometry based in Europe. Similarly in Australia the genetic geometry which
linked convicts to Europe lasted way after the death of the individuals involved. Just like slaves
before them and refugees today – people are not bound by nationality or passport – or even family,
genetics or blood. A proletarian perspective takes in origin in space, time and value (identity) but
also movement throughout these fields. It takes in the collaborative production of every worker we
share production and consumption with but
must always begin in the current space time and value.
A return to land property ownership – be it customary, tribal or traditional – all returns to
previous ruling class structures – ie of old families – eg in genealogies - rather than new
proletarian associations based on proletarian perspectives which are international and open in
temporal dimensions.
However the perspective of the eye in the triangle is not countered simply by the eye in the heart.
Their conjunction in the star of David is complemented by other star systems eg NATO or even the
double cross of the UK. It is only through the continuous introduction of new perspectives that we
can break out of the forcefields of power ie we can neither defer our struggle to another or struggle
for any other ourselves. Revolutionary redimensioalisation is the entanglement of all our struggles.
Apart form pornography we’ve also had a ‘look’ at how the
forcefield of futurist painting creates
illusory space for mind control and semantic entrapment rather than navigation while how that of
lettrist hypergraphics empowers the viewer in their environment for a new navigation – we can see
this in other art forms.
The Lettrists attacked photography and realism not just through hypergraphs but also through cinema.
Cinema without images is the removal of the temporal dimension of duration from the image, or put
another way, the reduction of the 3 spacial dimensions to 2 ( a surface of black or white or indeed
lines and points on the plane – with the addition of the temporal duration of the image. Lettrist
cinema was a critique of cinema as photography – by dislocating sound and image, the dimension of
sound is released from submission to vision. The dimension of sound as separate is thus opened up.
The associated semantic dimension is
released.
XXXV
The painting or cinema as photograph supposedly offers 3 spatial dimensions on 2 – this creates the
force field which Benjamin referred to as it ‘aura’, ie a trimensional forcefield which is formed as
long as the viewer’s other dimensional aspects such as touch taste etc are shut off. However, in
giving a title – we have a single semantic dimension on top, while the temporal dimension is 0 – an
event frozen in time. Cinema itself, being the temporal succession of frozen still images does
nothing more. Movement is an illusion – the effect of the energy field on the semantic space. It
calls for a movement in value or semantic space if not in physical or temporal space.
XXXVI
Lettrist cinema therefore collapses the energy in one domain to unleash it into another or other
dimensions. Integral to Lettrist cinema is provocations in the audience. The lettrist intervention
of the
workers perspective. Hence new points of origin and projection are introduced. The 2
dimensional screen opens into a 3 dimensional (trimensional) stage of performance. Recent researches
have looked into this forcefield and the creation n of reactions which are necessitated by the
situgraphic effect.
XXXVII
Ultra-lettrist hyopergraphics did much the same in adding torn posters into their graphics. Again a
point in remembered space is introduced into the 1 semantic dimension. When Benjamin states that
mechanical reproduction has destroyed the aura – it is the energy field created by the trimensional
restriction of realism. This energy is not lost – and it is not merely displaced. It is capable of
being amplified by Lettrism.
How that force is held in fields of force depends upon how it is displaced into expansions of
dimensions and contained by shutting them down – ie the dialectical movement
between al-wahd and
al-kathir = through 6 further sets of 9 dimensions.
Exegesis of the 6 Fold Path to Corporeality:
Breaking Out of the Spectacular Force Field
XXXVIII
If European culture has so far limited itself to the organization of light, thus limiting itself to a
spectacle and permanent removal of life to behind a lens – and this includes the separation of people
from each other and themselves, we must unfold the suppressed and oppressed disciplines related to
the study of the real world.
To start we must separate the graph from the photo – as exemplified by Lettrist poetry, painting and
cinema. But we must go further.
We must note here that our trajectory along a 6 fold path to corporeality flies in the face of the
following from the introduction to Euclidean geometry by the man J-D. Published at the peak of the
Age of Divinity it outlines at first the polarity
of points of origin and projection and then the
situational force field limits of the capitalist value space - which we explode.

XXXIX
One of the innovations of the Ultra-Lettrists was that of crirhythms – the exploration of sound and
the uncovery of the phenome as the letter or wahdat point of meaning. This shows the trajectory of
the development we shall take after no.2 below, being a
development of the line taken from poetry
into cinema:
1. Light
Photo // graph (point, line, plane, letter…) –
eg telephoty, telegraphy – which is reduced to its lettrist field through hypergraphy, hyperphoty
Much of the above has been concerned with a critique of graphic and visual arts. This critique will
depend on how much we can open the way for the other dimensions to manifest value.
The 3D or 1T force field is as discussed above, the use of 2 dimensional surface over 1 dimensional
duration creates 3 dimensional (1 trimensional) illusions.
2. Sound
Phono // audio (… phoneme ..)
eg telephony … hyperphony
In space sound travels as waves and we can envisage a similar point-wave duality as light. Music,
however, is usually considered a time based medium due to rhythmic time but Lettrist work into
cryrhythms at first dealt with
the semantic unit of the phoneme which is the audio equivalent of the
letter.
The trimensional forcefield here is contained in a 2 dimensional time frame of duration and origin ie
rhythm is built upon the repetition of phrases in time which connect together in a duration. Hence
each phrase, verse is originated in the last. In this way music is not linear but cyclic and 2
dimesnional. Again the dimension of space is the location of transmission or hearing. Like any point
this immediately opens up but even dancing and movement can be limited to a point in space.
3. Smell
Fume ( smell , fragrance )
eg telefumy … hyperfumy
Chemical properties give us the periodic table as the alphabet of smell. This constitutes the
semantic space. In space and time we can see that dimensions constantly open out due to the movement
of fumes and gasses being much quicker than solid
objects which graphics have been more concened
with.
The pharmaceutical – and health industries – in fact industries of death and their counter cultural
manifestations in the self medicational worlds of crack and smack are the focus for activities in
these fields.
4. Taste
Linguary ( )
eg telelinguary, hyperlinguary
Cooking is a time based practice, with origin and duration.
Growing
Preparation consumption
cooking
5. Feeling – path (touch feel …. )
telepathy, hyperpathy,
Its special and privileged place has so far been the bed. Sleep is its domain – its
time space and
locus of semantic or value space is 1 spatial dimension, 1 temporal dimension 1 semantic dimension.
6. Thought – logy ( idea,, … )
teleology, hyperlogy
This is the real praxis of what is commonly known as telepathy – not the transfer of feelings, but of
thoughts.

The Data miners strike: Special taskforce for the Preparation of the Abolition of Money (the SPAM
Humanifesto)
????????????

XLI
The significant difference between the development of hypergraphy and the developments in hypertext,
e.g. the semantic web, is that the latter is a psychopathic geometrical colonialism. Tim Berners-Lee
first conceptualised the World
Wide Web at the Centre for European Research Nuclear (CERN). The
programme on which the system is based equates people with files – authors with their texts: ie the
perspective makes no difference between people and texts and other objects. This anti-materialist
perspective is based in de-dimensionalising geometry where a person is always located within space,
time or meaning, rather than being the origin and source of all space, time and meaning – as is the
case with situmetry.
XLII
The quantum computer therefore reduces all human perspective to its own function of data transfer.
The Lettrist perspective show that the creation force, the innovation of any sort is not human
capital but labour. We therefore focus on these workers who can directly intervene into its
operation and bring it into direct contact with the proletariat at large. For this purpose we propose
a new miners union. The
new data miners who are emerging as the field has emerged over the world can
now link up with other miners – from minerals and metals, to factory workers as well as peasants and
others working on the land, on on any sort of capital.
XLIII
The data miners are called on to stop working on government data and commercial collection and begin
to consolidate the lines of communication between workers along their lines of production – in the
raw materials – in the processing and in the use of all materials used in their work. This is
urgently required of course in the arms industry where owners and workers of the land where these
commodities are used, miners of minerals and materials, factories of production, the researchers and
developers along with the soldiers and users of the commodities must come together to discuss and
decide on their future use.
This however must be based on the immediate
organization of workers in this space, time and value.
The commodity of the book is a perfected bourgeois commodity. In attacking capitalism we hereby link
with the workers / creators and proletariat who:
• created the computers, hardware and software which we used to create this text
• created the paper
• created the ink
• created the ideas which we have used
Who with us we hope to manifest a pentagonal proletarian perspective. We call on other workers and
proletariat to correct and guide us in these efforts,
sincerely,
Benjamin Salem
