The existence of this page is coterminal with the existence of
a system of signs, signes, signifiers, and significands. Taken
structurally, they are the progeny of the existing order, the byproduct
of history. Historically decontextualized, they are tools, suitable
for use by the individual, but only with reference to the remaining
context: one of a vast, underlying interdependent technological
society. Or, alternatively put: they cannot be decontextualized from
history without the negation of history itself. With reference only
to a nullity, any understanding of them constitues a null dereference.
