I have been unconsciously programmed to ask a series of unanswerable,
impossible, and interminable questions. Infinite questions.

Where is the prescriptive force of the 'would'? Is it a model of
prescription? Who prescribed it? Did anyone? Did the program call for its
own self-realisation via a perfect 'model' arrived at during a step in the
process of history? Are we there yet? Is this it? We figured it out?
Perfection of the 'model' until it matches the map? The truth of the
matter? The truth of matter? We know now we are algorithmic programs? Thus
we produce interminable analyses of our own self-reflective and
self-refractive myths that explain our modelling of the model as a myth of
the model--i.e., The Matrix? That we do this as prescribed? As a cure for
desiring the unmodellable? The impossible? Is the impossible a sickness,
beyond prescription? Can't exceed the 'would'? If it 'exists'? 'Would' it
exist? Will we know this 'existence'? 'If'? Can a model say--'if'? Can a
program say--'if'? If/then -- X. But if 'not'? Y? If Y = 'not'?

What is a model? What is composition? What composes? Are we composing, |
then all the time, or simply executing programs? Have we the ability to |
infinitely compose or alter programs? Is there a limit to permutation? |
What else is mind model? Can be modelled otherwise? What is processing? A|
step? A system? A system of process? What is a system that is of process?|
All the programs? How are they different from algorithms? What designates|
a program over an algorithm? Processing over system? Step over process? |
Step _over_ process? |

Does a process have steps? Are not these 'steps' models? Are not these
'models' models? Is time a process? Are there different steps of time? In
time? Different models of time? Different times? Are there different
models of difference? Different differences that exceed the model?
Different steps of difference toward the same model? Is it the same model
of difference, or different models of the same? Is 'or' a model? Necessary
as 'or' is as the basis of algorithmic programing? And/Or? Is the 'and' a
model? A model of impossible difference?

thus steps? Steps leading to process? Or is process only a step toward
history? Is there a step called process? Is process a step? Or are all
steps processes? Do other creatures have histories too? Or are they just
part of our history? The History? All one big program history with
creatures programmed for us programs for our History? Or the processes
thereof? Are creatures processes? We are steps? Species are steps? Or
processes? Are the relations processes or steps? Is there a relation
between process and step?

mechanize? Where did mechanizations come from who programmed them? There
are mechanical processes? Mechanical models? These must be opposed to soft
