We exist in a world where powerful social elites live their life through exceptional fantasies - they mistakenly believe they can best safeguard their privilege by hiding their bonsai trees of knowledge in secret societies, under the tomes of law court papers, magic rituals - art - religions, and the use of well tooled-up armies.

Instead of exceptional fantasies mongrels everywhere lust after the experience of transportation->new() while being firmly rooted to the ground. We require transportation->new() from present situations to other states of pleasure and pain. Out of the gutters and into the stratosphere of the imaginary - the vehicle of our transportation is of little consequence.

Our desire is to fly with our own wings forged from the manacles of oppressive abstraction - that is all that is important.

Bobby Reason was born weak from typhus fever and unable to crawl away from his body of infection. He spends his time passing voltage through the pathways of least resistance to help him amplify, copy, and replay sounds. Extending his ears to where his eyes used to be. He forms lenses to put in place of his imagination. Whilst doing so he manages to split light and holds the lower end of the spectrum (radiation) with special tools he forged out of the industrial revolution to replace his hands.

And after all is done.

He gets out the air-freshener to replace his nose.

Bakeries Valuations

Lyons built and operated the world's first business computer which they called LEO (Lyons Electronic Office). This came into use months before any American computer. Initially intended for in-house use only, the machine caused such a stir that a company was started to build the machines for other UK organisations. Computers were exported to Australia, South Africa and Czechoslovakia when this was still behind the 'Iron Curtain'.

Refuse reason while resurrecting the dead

Part 1:

Take a data-base of a social atrocity and harvest from it the ages, names and heights of individual victims. From this the computer extrapolates the vital lung capacity for each person. This is converted to cubic litres of last breath of each victim eg:

$VitalLungCapcity = ((0.041 * $Height) - (0.018 * $Age)) - 2.69;
$Victim_Breath_LAST = $VitalLungCapcity;

Part 2:

Set up or use a preexisting public address system placed in the vercenity of the atrocity or contextually related area. With the sound radiating up to one mile from the source. Push the sum of all the victims vital lung capacity of air through the audio system;

Example->Srebrenica->Amsterdam->

From reports of the International Committee of the Red Cross we estimate that 8000 Bosnian Muslim men were killed by Bosnian Serb forces. see (Red)

We know the ages are from 15 - 70;

And the height of each individual is between 150 and 180;

$Height = 170; $Age = 35;

$VitalLungCapacity = ((0.041 * $Height) - (0.018 * $Age)) - 2.69 ;

( 3.65 litres * 8000 bodies ) = 29200 litres of air.

We then push 29200 litres of air through a speaker system in the wave form of a scream.

BIT_COMMON <=> CODE_OF_WAR

Spanish Journalist One of Two Journalists 

Killed in US Army Attack on Journalist Hotel in Baghdad

The bit-commons:

When new common cultural spaces open up in the public domain as they did with the internet in the 1990's, those with the proprietary right or economic might usually attempt enclosure. This activity acts as a raw siphon of economic value as well as associating with the enforcers of enclosure the powers of boundary. (inside, outside, entrance, exit)

At first, experimentation is pursued in all directions until the pathways of least resistance are charted and turned to profit - at which time generalised investment becomes scarce - investment being redirected to deepen and widen the channels of least resistance to profit. This receding wave of investment from the experimental - leaves behind islands of adventure to be colonized by artists, deviants, outsiders, asylum seekers, immigrants, pirates and the insane.

People adopt many strategies to keep their islands open and free at these moments of enclosure, they start creating protocols and formats collectively. Sailors of these isles start transporting ideas of freedom, bounty and hope to foreign ports attracting new settlements.

Images <=> VISON and FLOSS ->{Free/Libre/Open Source Software}

The cornerstone of all the code in the Net_Monster is based on a a commitment to the use, propagation and development of free software. Free software emerged as a key collaborative tool in the 1990s to posit a democratic alternative to proprietary control over code->{! CODE_OF_WAR}. The free exchange of common_code is central to our conception of the digital commons. That is why we will encourage everyone to engage, enlarge and question this domain.

Exceptional Fantasies Revisited

The exceptional fantasies that the social elite has been living through have spawned strange and bewildering hierarchies of knowledge and war that have influenced the production of ideas. We need to squash these at the level of algorithm and representation.

A free software culture is worth fighting for.
