theory-fiction

A tenet of Nick Land's speculative realism in which formalism and representation become continuous with respect to each other, obviating the object between them.

Constructivistic surrealism.

The collapse of the signifier/sign/signed triangle in semiotic theory into a duality of signifier and signed.

Preliminarily schematized in computer science by replacing object-oriented programming with attribute-oriented programming (synthetic programming); and ultimately reference-oriented programming.

Theory-fiction eliminates the object itself by collapsing the triangle of semiotic representationalism into a duality.

synthetic materialism

A framework of material reality as a manifestation of the irreversible nature of linear time

Posits linear time, material reality, and history as illusions or antitheses of Nietzsche's nihilism.

The synthesis of Karl Marx's dialectical materialism

Synthetic materialism argues that there is no history and by extension that there is no material reality.

Rather than material reality creating the illusion of a past, synthetic materialism argues that the past creates the illusion of material reality

conflation

The perception of matter having a discrete origin in linear time and space having a discrete size due to the finite origin in time of light.

Conflation posits that space is infinitely large and matter is infinitely old; however it appears to the viewer that matter has a discrete origin point and space is discretely measurable.

An early rendition of contrapositive linearity.

Intermodern predecessor to hyperlinearity.

Pop noir is an aesthetic presage of postmodernism.
