Systems work because they do not work. Nonfunctioning remains essential for functioning. And that can be formalized. Given, two stations and a channel. They exchange messages. If the relation succeeds, if it is perfect, optimum, and immediate, it disappears as a relation. If it is there, if it exists, that means it failed. It is only mediation.
✖ Via The Parasite by Michel Serres, tr. Lawrence R. Schehr, Minneapolis, University of Minesota Press, 2007, p. 79 [Amazon]
