The triangle of fictions

=We know well that the presence of any word is already something divine.

=We live with today’s current fictions, of the Sign, of the Text, the same way we lived with Poetry and Subjectivity before, among other past essences and metaphysics, whether ideal or material. As far as concepts go, they embody our best efforts to make sense of things. However, they are nothing but interpretative vehicles, contemporary concepts whose luminosity is as fictive as the rest before them.

=Like other words, the full divine presence of concepts like Chance, Sign, Text, etc. is still to come. Like the idea of Experience in Montaigne off setting medieval belief systems, these concepts are merely tools forged to wage a similar war against the tyranny of other concepts.

=When and where can a word really happen? The word (as an entity or category) is still looking for its dimensions. No word has yet fully existed. (This is not a return to the same formulaic binaries. Instead, we are concerned here with the sign of the meaning of the sign and/or the meaning of the sign of meaning. That is, with the possibility of their conceptuality.)  They are, after all, all concepts needing elaboration. When one fiction supports another fiction, we recall once more Borges’ series of dreamers and dreamers.

("The sign has no positive value." This "discrete" part requires the whole of language to exist, which, in turn, requires the idea of discrete parts to become a ''whole.'' In short, a word, ultimately, is the whole of language. And where does it end to begin?)

=Where is the boundary between sign and noise? The 3 concepts here (boundary, sign, noise) form the triangle where fictions are made from.
