An Asemics of Atrophic Being / EZE, 2025
As a term, atrophic refers to a part of the body or even to the body itself. It is a reference to a form, a form which may or may not be present in the being under investigation.
And we tend to think of being in formal terms as this or that, but when we do, we also tend to think of this or that as a coming to be, a coming to be of being.
When being encapsulates its own becoming, we are already thinking of it as a historical flow: for example, as a cycle (the seasons), as a life cycle (the growth of an oak tree from a seed), as a workflow (the production of software), ... .
This encapsulation gives us a certain teleology for the this or the that under investigation, and we tend to make judgments on the flow of being in these terms: terms of fulfillment of the flow.
But what happens when that encapsulation offers another flow?
What happens, for example, when the pig was never a pig?
