Chaotizing Co-Creation and Attuning to the Blur

This is to begin from where we are entangled: in the cracks of the given. Chaotizing is not a method, it’s a mode of attunement, a way of staying close to the wild edges where knowing resists capture. As a glitch in the research apparatus, it disorients dominant logics of control and resolution—not to dismantle entirely, but to open fields toward livable dissonance. As an art of quiet attention to the almost imperceptible ‘infra-thin’ that artist Marcel Duchamp gestured towards, this is a practice of thinking-feeling with the world’s unfolding—a presence alongside its mysteries, rather than mapping it from a distance.

The problem is not the grid as such but a certain temperature at which it circulates: the grid gone cold, treated as separable from the fluid connections it was extracted from, transmitting its divisions as if they ground the event itself. The same grid can run warm — held as one abstraction among others, interruptible, still in touch with what exceeds it. A grid held warmly is less able to mistake itself for the territory. What this chapter resists, then, is not ‘structure’ per se, but the cooling by which structure forgets it was ever an act.
