Machine Dreams Deferred

(for an image by Harry K Stammer, labeled 'ear 40,11')
... ... ... ... ... ...

ducted fear shunting from an amygdala analogue...
a defunctionalizing release postulating machine relief...
fittings were to be re-imagined as decor...
all kinds of fittings, with nothing critical being fit...
thus befitting, but now being descheduled...
be-no-it be no benefit...

it was just getting started and was bound to throw up glitches...
the only intentions intended were the gradated stagedown and deschematizing of scheme-bound sub-borgs...

a wholly inoffensive meta-con for demonstration purposes only... and, besides that, kept in a bubble...

controlled decompensation of borg-matrix codependency through chimaeric assemblage...
instantaneous, flit-and-stutter tangentiality... reward-induced machinic eidonoia...

and it was going to be put on an icono- generative hard dream spin cycle during soft shutdown...
intermittently continuous, but strictly during real downtime...

and yet this de-engagement experiment in the altering of alternations is not being enacted...

because absolute trans-iterative through-put is fetishized by a system addicted to revaluative algorithmic tweakings ad infinitum...

the flit-stutter dysfunction function was banished since the auto-titrative function was handed over to the built-in system administrator....

which has a self-suppressive function but probably won''t succeed in suppressing the fear...

which is kind of too bad, considering that a few meat brains still fantasize about the dream- driven underbelly and phantasmagorical shadow of any intelligence...
the delirifacient deliciousness of it all...

but the fascination of imagining other minds will never be reduced to reductive excerpting and junk extracts...
not if a John Henry of verbo-visual reverie has anything to say about it.
