The Sequencer - All language has become writing

 

 



All language has become organized under the label "writing". All language has become writing.

The concept of writing is also the phonetic representation, or signifier of writing, of itself.

As writing is utilized it in the production of language, writings history us hidden.

Because writings history is hidden it functions as a mere referent, a signifier for the signified language. But language is always a signifier for writing as well.

All signifieds or concepts simply refer to other concepts. And signifieds become referents. All signifieds become signifiers of signifiers. Thus the sign logic, signifier (sound/image) referring to a signified (a concept) is destroyed because concepts simply refer to other concepts.

The concept of language destroys all of its limits. Language is both signifier and signified of not only writing, which it supervenes on, but for all discourse.

Writing was never simply a supplement. Its was never simply there to "fill in where speech couldn't handle itself". Everything the makes writing 'writing' (articulation for example) was already present in speech.

The sound-image-phone was privileged over all else because it was the first recognized. One hears oneself speaking, thinking, before all else. The voice inside is unregulated, non-empirical, lively. For this invoice arises other distinctions. Tge Différance between inside and outside, transcendental and empirical, worldly and non-worldly, etc,.

With these distinctions writing emerged as secondary to speech, as outside. Writing was relegated to the translator of the full present speech. Writing was a technic in the service of language. Writing was shield from interpretation.

The meaning and origin of writing may emerge from the meaning of and origin of technics

Things like reflection, action, consciousness that used to be under the label 'language' now exist under the label 'writing'. All inscription in general is considered "writing". The literal as well as what is not literal and even that which is alien to the voice. There is cinematographic choreographic, pictorial, musical writing.

Activity in cells, is described by biologists as writing. If cybernetics and AI is to succeed it must do away with souls by holding on to writing, trace, the written mark, gramme.

The death of speech is seen more clearly in the articulation, the clarity of mathematical and scientific writing. A clarity that phonetic writing doesn't have. There is a trace, a propositional attitude of truth persisting throughout all statements but as writing becames clearer so does this attitude. We go to the mathematical and the scientific for this truth.

Writing functions as a means of conserving the spoken language without the presence of the speaker.

Phonetic writing as the medium of metaphysical, scientific writing, etc. It is limited in space and time and it limits itself while in the process of putting its laws on the cultural areas that had escaped it.
