13559 - Elements of time-strategy
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
Without time-strategy we put emphasis on space and we consider that its domination suffices to continue; whereas in this way it is merely coherence that is expressed, which does not ensure anything for the future, because it focuses on the present solely, as if this was something eternal. We may find this tendency in all powerful systems ending up to committing a crime against Humanity even; and of course genocide, because this is the only way they can to eliminate anything that puts them into question. Though, resistance lies in time, because time is its space. It is in this framework that the notion of counter-attack may function. The intermediate between geostrategy and time-strategy is topo-strategy leaving the notion of distance aside to study the notion of relation. And when this becomes diachronic through strategy then it becomes a monad of time-strategy. More specifically, the moment is not what constitutes monadology of time-strategy, because this is degenerated by the notion of the present. What is monad in time-strategy is the string. In this light, we more efficiently comprehend the expression ‘the stings of time’, since they are what a strategist would use to apply time-strategy. Additionally, with a string we do not any longer attach importance to the point in all its forms, since it is dimensionless. Strings always bear dimensions. Thus, we cannot have degenerated cases. Later on, with these strings we can create plaits; not junctions, knots as well; and not pivotal points. With these plaits and knots we can create the surface which will next become a framework, a field, a field of action and a battlefield. For, we will have at our disposal an open structure which may be enriched by singularities constituting local dynamic systems of attraction and anomalies constituting total dynamic systems of attraction. With these elements of time-strategy another consideration of the world and its data begins.
