IDENTITY OF INDISCERNIBLES. Two things are identical if and only if they share the same properties. something to that effect was enunciated by LEIBNITZ.

in the printing process, the page is the substance presumed present to absorb/reflect the function of the text. of course this isn't so.

further quoting, A.Ronell, Crack Wars:

this form of internal saturation of self, unhooked from a grander effective circuit, marks the constitutive adestination of the addict's address. going nowhere fast, as we say, Madame Bovary in this regard signs up for the drug program to the extent that she resumes the violence of nonaddress.

she had bought herself a blotter (un buvard), writing-case, pen-holder, and envelopes although she had no one to write to. . . .

with nowhere to go and little to do, these missives, along with the equipment that maintains them can only be routed inwardly. but it is an inwardness of diminished interiority, a kind of dead letter box–an impasse in destination. still, writing for no one to no address counts for something; it is the writer's common lot.

“You look at a garden,” Leiris explains, “and you

examine it in every detail . . . until your memory of it is so exact and intense that

you can continue seeing it, with equal clarity, even with your eyes closed.” “The idea,” Leiris continues, “is to subtract, one by one, all the elements that make up the garden, without the image losing anything of its force or ceasing to fascinate

you, however weakly.”
