If somehow, for the fortunate among us, it is a case of shamanic capture, there on the borders of divinity, then of course we see" to delineate a people but we must remember to not feel guilt if we fail to create any such thing and the universe continues to be indifferent to the endeavour> 9hen we are presented with a choice of levitation or collapse, we might choose either or both, "nowing it is all about plotting tra'ectories between and through a multidimensional set of strata, milieus and geoCmetric possibilities; !egrettably, it has to be said, we can no longer reify the megalopolis as destination, or even as settlement, and it should be sufficient to see it for what it really is6 an over@excited compendium of signs and significations> 9e can no longer be charmed by the intensity of these flows and stoppages, unless, of course, we completely understand that we ourselves may be in'ured by the same forces> It could be a matter of being deaf to architectureDs 8ost@Modern symphony, "nowing how it is that we have been more interested in raising many a marvellous edifice, and not "nowing what to do when a particular edifice begins to fall; 3n intellectual may well aspire to the same behaviour evinced by points that generate geometric forms, but then evaporate> / o be even more precise, it should be possible to appropriate an influential dimension of invisibility> 9e embrace the suggestion, a proposition that has a frisson all itDs own, that an intellectual could employ powers far removed from conventional forms, and since all such matters belong, still, to the socius, this puissance moves along lines running parallel to basic given forms;
