   Notes for a Liberated Computer Language Version 2.1, August 2006 Authors: Alexander R. Galloway, Eugene Thacker Data Types Operators Control Structures Functions  Operators() Cast Transform an entity from its current type to a new type. -- Debase Decreases the political or social standing of the predicate. != Disassignment Assigns any other entity except for the one specified in the predicate. =/ Disputatio Spontaneously makes further, perhaps useless, distinctions within a given entity. :: Figuration Establishes a figurative relationship between two or more entities. - Hybrid Combines two or more entities into a new hybrid entity cast from the "empty" type. // Invalidation* Invalidate the subject with respect to its predicate. The subject entity loses all its significance, and the predicate entity becomes a Thing-In-Itself. Opposite of Sublation. ?+ Manna Assigns new values to pre-existing entities, the meaning of which is known only to the machine. <> Negotiate Reassigns the predicate entity based on a negotiation between it and the subject entity. "" Normative Attaches a political evaluation to a type or code block. ^ Parasite Establishes a parasitical relationship between two or more entities. ++ Privilege Increases the political or social standing of the predicate. Γ Sublation* Assumilate the subject in the predicate. The subject entity becomes the simple negation of the predicate entity. Opposite of Invalidation. * Contributed by Işık Barış Fidaner Read in Turkish translation. |
