How public-appsdesignlab and informationarchitecture Community Groups of the W3C Meet: Reading J.N. Robbins'"Learning Web Design..." (O'Reilly, 2018

Dear public-appsdesignlab &
public-informationarchitecture,



Yet we may encounter critical situations of everyday lifes asking for
solutions, problems asking for conceptual solutions... (See Deleuze and
Guattari in "What is Philosophy? ch 1. "Concepts") I mentioned above): are
technologies not about "concepts with their implementations"? -- according
to Oxford English Dictionary (Green-Yellow Edition) "technology" means
2. systematic application of knowledge to practical task in industry...?


As I am reading on it, the Deleuzo-Guattarian notion on "concept" is
deconstructive and thus has a similaritiy with Jacques Derrida's, Michel
Foucault's and what is known as the Bootstraap hypothesis/philosophy in
physics attempted by Geoffrey Chan:

This one may render ones to thinking on deconstructive concepts. Is the
Deleuzo-Guattarian notion on "concept" not about a notion on deconstructive
concepts (which are of cocepts that have histories and "becomings"; of ones
having heterogen yet inseparable components; of ones as points of
connections, condensation and associations of their components, as
heterogenesis and ordinals)...



"What is called "deconstruction"--and I will be very sketchy here, because
time does
not permit detailed analyses--has never, never opposed institutions as such,
philosophy as such, discipline as such. Nevertheless, as you rightly said,
it is another
thing for me to be doing what I am doing here. Because, however affirmative
deconstruction is, it is affirmative in a way that is not simply positive,
not simply
conservative, not simply a way of repeating the given institution. I think
that the life of an institution implies that we are able to criticize, to
transform, to
open the institution to its own future. The paradox in the instituting
moment of an
institution is that, at the same time that it starts something new, it also
continues
something, is true to the memory of the past, to a heritage, to something
we receive
from the past, from our predecessors, from the culture. If an institution
is to be an
institution, it must to some extent break with the past, keep the memory of
the past,
while inaugurating something absolutely new [cf. PdS139/ Points130-131].
So, I am
convinced that today, although ((a ))program to some extent looks like
other, similar
programs, it does something absolutely new. The indication of this is found
not
simply in the structural organization of the program, but in the work, in
the content of
the work, of those who will run this program, the new themes. (()) they
are not simply reproducing, that they are trying to open something new and
something
original, something that hasn't been done in that way in other, similar
((places)) or
programs. So the paradox is that the instituting moment in an institution
is violent in a
way, violent because it has no guarantee. Although it follows the premises
of the past,
it starts something absolutely new, and this newness, this novelty, is a
risk, is
something that has to be risky, and it is violent because it is guaranteed
by no
previous rules. So, at the same time, you have to follow the rule and to
invent a new
rule, a new norm, a new criterion, a new law [cf. FL 50-52/ DPJ23]. That's
why the
moment of institution is so dangerous at the same time. One should not have
an
absolute guarantee, an absolute norm; we have to invent the rules. I am
sure that the
responsibility that is taken ((ones working on a program)) implies that they
give themselves the new rule. There is no responsibility, no decision,
without this
inauguration, this absolute break. That is what deconstruction is made of:
not the
mixture but the tension between memory, fidelity, the preservation of
something that
has been given to us, and, at the same time, heterogeneity, something
absolutely new,
and a break. The condition of this performative success, which is never
guaranteed, is
the alliance of these to newness".

Yet, Foucault's archaelogy of human sciences worked on such a notion on
cultutalbdeconstruction when dealingveith "order", "reflections on order"
and "pure experiences of order". He also finded out that 17th-18th century
episteme, which was of "representation", was featured by such a thought
which is of deconstruction: "An arbitrary system of signs must permit
analysis of things  into their simplest elements; it must be capable of
decomposing them into their very origins; but it must also demonstrate how
combinations of those elements are possible, and permit the ideal genesis
of the complexity of things".(My machine-based notes on)  Foucault, M., The
Order of Things: an Archaeology of Human Sciences" Chapter 3.

"Recycling" is the term closely related with ecology, yet may also in such
an anticipation for "The Internet Web ecology"*1. "Recycling" means
"reprocessing of recovered materials at the end of product life, returning
them into the supply chain ("Handbook of Recycling..." p.9).

"Before your personal computer is turned on, it is a dead collection of
sheet metal, plastic,
metallic tracings, and tiny flakes of silicon. When you push the On switch,
one little burst of elec-
tricity-only about 3-5 volts-starts a string of events that magically
brings to life what otherwise
would remain an oversized paperweight".

the Internet Works":

"The Internet works because of interoperability between different
computers, despite different hardware, operating systems, local language
context, and software supplier. Users of the web sign on to the use of
these languages when they use the Internet". (T. Berners-Lee, "Stack of
Specifications")
