		<description><![CDATA[SNEER OF COLD COMMAND I read in Foot&#8217;s
rouged Shelley, his upstart-demotic fervour
impacting &#8211; time and again &#8211; that fist of ice.
The vision is commanding: agitation
as life&#8217;s work, as the triumph in slow-motion
of life over its least self; the once-drowned
dried and rekindled, replenishing the earth.
Shelley at full warp&#8217;s something else, though lacking
impulse control, careening off the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a couple of years I used to joke that Being and Event ii, when finally published in its long-awaited English translation, should adopt the title everyone seemed to have been using for it anyway and call itself Logics of Worlds (Forthcoming) (it does, after all, concern the logical coming-forth of worlds&#8230;). Anyway, any readers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was established earlier on that the rule of reflexivity for an equivalence relation could be derived from the rules of symmetry and transitivity. (Often it is simply stated as one of the three properties of an equivalence relation, even though it is entailed by the other two). Let&#8217;s now rewrite this derivation using the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s take a look now at the rule of transitivity. Consider this triangle of connected elements:

The rule of transitivity for a simple equivalence relation states that if a &#8764; b and b &#8764; c, then a &#8764; c. We can recast this in terms of truth values as follows: it is never more true that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To recap: so far, we have an image of an &#8220;object&#8221; as something with an internally differentiated structure, within which elements appear as a) connected to each other and b) grouped into discrete parts based on their connections. Mathematically, this structure is like an equivalence relation, except that it also supports the presentation of &#8220;inexistent&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this series of posts, I&#8217;m going to have a go at &#8220;motivating&#8221; the mathematical theory of the object that Badiou develops in Book III of Logics of Worlds, and relating it to some other currents in “object-oriented” thinking. In my view, Badiou does a strangely poor job of explaining what all of the mathematical [...]]]></description>

Ontological: Multiplicity is what is (&#8220;the One&#8221; is not)
Ontic: Beings (multiples counted-as-one) are what there are
Phenomenal: Objects (beings indexed on a transcendental) are what appear
Ecological*: Difference (within and between objects) is what there is

* This is a bit of a leap, obviously. But I think it&#8217;s a better term than &#8220;intra-mundane&#8221;.

It&#8217;s Picard&#8217;s &#8220;signature&#8221; in both senses, as the actor Patrick [...]]]></description>
