We have an interesting paradox that follows from the originary hypothesis: we need to describe deferral, on the face of it a negation of action, as a mode of action, or agency. GA is going to confound anyone who wants to base their political or moral thinking on action, understood as an expression of an intention, itself an expression of identity, and resulting in some determinate result reflecting the motivating intention. Yes, ultimately, if you do something, you want to know if you ended up doing what you thought you were, but since you’re “always already” doing things any articulation of doing and happening has its origin in a not doing so as to prevent something from happening. Deferring some mimetic crisis is always the obverse of any observable act which suggests that the measure of any action is the relative imminence of that crisis and the delayed and distributed effects relative to that more or less likely crisis of the action taken. One could always modify an action so as to correlate it a little more closely to the assumed imminence of the crisis as that assumed imminence is recalibrated through the actions taken to delay it itself. We thereby get fractals, actions within actions, and distant actions affected in non-linear ways by present fractalized actions, which places us within the field of infinitesimals and derivatives, which is the field of calculus.
