notes for chart shaped like a snake vomiting up its own tail: assymptotally towards complete symbolic entropy.

in union square on tuesday there is a protest.

LESS CRIMINALIZATION! MORE MEDIATION! their posters say

on computer printed signs, all of the same font.

strange.

but sure, computer age protest.

and sure, mediation with a polished face.

reclaiming negotiation from its crunchy image?

in this world, sure, there can be a place for that!

they are all wearing the same white hats and scarfs.

wow, people are weird.

DON'T GO TO COURT GO TO KATE they chant.

kate?

sure, some enthusiastic endorsement of a private mediator.

strange, but.

They hand me two things.

a black and white cookie

and a flyer that says

LESS LAWYER. MORE APPEAL.

FAIRLY LEGAL.

UGGGG

they disappear in to the park.

on further inspection the cookie is grey and white.

on further inspection the cookie is disgusting

I wonder:

if it is possible for a medium not to get eaten and to maintain its authentic resonation, and

(what does success even look like?)

what the intention of such an action would be, and

who those poor actors are fauxtesting, and

if the cookie will poison me.
