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.

Trust as fiction.

Specifically trust as an appearance.

Trust-as-aesthetic.

Trust as an epistemology or structure-of-truth.

Theory-fiction argues that truth is expressed in terms of language and trust is expressed in terms of an aesthetic (structure-of-truth).
