I. THE ANALYTIC WAY

EITHER
analytic philosophy >> applied to >> systems
OR
speculative philosophy >> applied to >> art/bodies

- - - - - - -

Operative action: Select the approach which brings the most clarity 
to that which is most clarfiable.

Operative goal: To understand clearly that which may be most clearly 
understood, that which has already happened, that which yields itself 
most readily to analytic analysis.

Operative mojo: "There are better ways to portray spirits and 
essences than to get them all tangled up with statistical graphics." 
- Edward Tufte

AND
speculative philosophy >> applied to >> art/bodies

art/bodies >> applied to >> systems

speculative philosophy >> applied to >> analytic philosophy

Operative action: Lather, rinse, repeat (with rigor).

Operative goal: To invent something that has yet to be invented, and 
see where it leads.

Operative mojo: "We need body rockin, not perfection / Let me get 
some action from the back section." - Beastie Boys

Quiz Time!

1. What is gained/lost by approaching glitch via THE ANALYTIC WAY?

2. What is gained/lost by approaching glitch via THE SPECULATIVE WAY?

3. Is there anything about glitch (as opposed to say rocket science 
or theology) which might "prefer" one of these ways over another?

4. Is there anything about empyre which might "prefer" one of these 
ways over another?

5. When willl we move beyond having to commit to one of these ways 
over another?
