schizome

The vision of undecidability-pathways (rhizomes) compressed into a two-dimensional plane over which intention can hover.
A schizome offers the idea that undecidability - while uncountable - is two-dimensional.

The internet browser and the hypertext link are examples of schizomes.

The schizome connects the rhizome to the hyper-plane.

scientific materialism

Scientific realism.

The belief that the present is predicated on the past.

Determinism.

Assumes objectivity (a materialistic past) which falls in the broader sphere of subjectivity (phenomenonology).

Semantic materialism.

Linguistically deconstructed into intangibility (metastaticity) by postmodernism.

Oblivious to the metastaticity (meta-emergence).
Scientific materialism is highly semantic. Thus it is only good for solving questions of ethics or law. Ironically these are questions in the normative sphere of phenomena in contrast to the positive sphere scientific materialism claims to answer.
