Rather than write a summary about what I learned from this week's reading, I decided to simply copy/paste the comments I made while annotating the Ian Bogost -- I will limit it to the introduction and 1st chapter of his book. I felt it would be interesting to look at these comments I made in a new light -- that is, stripped from its original context of Ian Bogost's book. Hope I'm making sense!

INTRODUCTION Aim? His Theory is that contemporary literary analysis similar to computation

Move/Swing Back

Hardwork

Video Games controlled by the market

Still unsure what that means

Interesting

True

Yes!

Jargon is a unit?

?

Criticism is a toolbox

Give a working definition of Ludology

Just talks about game theory

Video games are different!

Interchangeable

Only part you care about!

Cool!


Chapter 1

? What

So its not like system operations?

Unit operation interpret networks? What networks?

System operations = literary authority

Bleh. Just filler about bio.

Unit operation = function

System = Context

Not as simple as binary opposition

New definitions for systems derived by networking of components

More genome bleh

Meh just talking about the history of the shift from system -> unit complexity

Definition time!

Systems can be units to other systems! Wow!

Unit =/= object because of c.s definition

Unit = object

Units are everything

Should I care about Luhmann?

Ok. Makes sense

Problems with system operations

Less focused on discovery with complex

Yikes. Heidegger

All this Heidegger talk

Operation is the transformation of input

How abstract

Heidegger = Software engineering

Why do you repeat yourself?

No principle only function and logic

God & Nature = Unit..

1 Substance, many modes

Useless paragragh

Ok here we go

ball of TWINE

Spinoza more digitial

Cantor: Coherent totality

Contain the infinite through set

Count as one & Situation

Every one is a multiple =/= no unit

One = operation

Being belonging to a situation

meh review

Badiou configuring multiples to one

Procedurality in computers the ability of formalizing many units

Problem with count as one

Unit operation universal shouldn't be limited

Procedularity and literary formula

Unit analysis good for unpacking

Example of unit analysis

Good example

Interesting
