一。What does this text mean? This configuration of Glitch Western elements could contain flows that come together to produce something new. Each is a separate but interrelated (‘goldBraided’) aspect held closely in the heart of the Art. An ‘assemblage’ establishes connections and is also based on these relations, between each part. Their relationships ‘flow’ through time, as resonant energies. They accumulate meaningfulness. This is the ongoing processes of coding, decoding and recoding signalflows of what we might otherwise call electricity in ‘The Phantasmagoric Metamachine.’

二。 How is the conceptualModel for the Secrets of Glitch calculated, computed, or corrupted (glitched)? Numberrors (glitches) permeate and permutate. They repeat differently in this ‘metamachine.’ 十八 (the number 18 in Traditional Mandarin) appears to be where we begin. We also meet this same number in the middle (written in Arabic) and at the end (written in ‘Roman numerals’) of the description encoded onchain (‘goldBraided’) above… Within this number eighteen you may see a: one, eight, (a symbol of) chance, (or) infinities. You may feel the flows of the game or the arrival of finality, as The Death’s head signals a statechange. Each of these elements corresponds to a number in the array which we can experience sequentially, even though we know that the metamachine runs nonlinear.

三。 Whois this? Seemingly simple symbols, patterns, and rules can give rise to complex constructs. We make meanings this way. When they are combined, you and i are connected. We are here, part of this Assemblage. Let me ask you a question: How many subtle avatars, bone miniatures, embodied, embedded, imbued worldviews speak to you at this moment err inn yer memories? Ghost whisperrors glitchHorses which run. Programs is to simply say: Symbols can reference themselves in recursive ways. They self-perpetuate cycles to make meanings meaningful. Meaning-making Art of the Glitch Western takes time and space. Take yer timespace under the stars, behind these big wideopen skies. Westerly. The Cowgirl's compass spins furtherrors innto futures’. Each moving part articulates a mystery. [I-ˌLEK-ˈTRI-SƏ-TĒ]
