No. 4 - Everything is Built-In

The God-King must die to ensure their final and invisible simulated panopticon; in the most final event for an individual, a perpetuation of their power is seeped into the ground and atmosphere. A simulated lack of death and absence continues their reign into the invisible. The outvoting of an incumbent is a simulated death and rebirth, changing nothing of the actual heart of the God-Capital. 
If the president is King, the Capital is God. 

What matters to the capital is the concept of itself. Everything else will revolve around it in order to ensure its continuity, even in declarations of misuse (pointing toward but not at a deeper truth past the rulers) does the system of capital get strengthened. In declaring the King (president) as corrupt, the capital is remained constant and unscathed, reinforced as great by the temporary ruler's evil. If the King (president) is declared great and fair, the capital is remained as great. 
From both directions is capital remained strong, powered by opposite fuels - a self-sustaining simulation, ensuring that the people surrounding/inside it don't see it. 

Capital's heart remains outside it's body like a demon so you may not change it when you think you have removed the poison - the poison is built-in and fake. 

"Capital in fact has never been linked by a contract to the society it dominates. It is a sorcery of the social relation, it is a challenge to society and should be responded to as such" (29-30). 

As for my project, the current state of process is "free-flow, whatever sticks sticks, sort it out with words later". I find this works well especially when digesting this amount of information as it becomes subconsciously soaked into the fibers and only requires me to continue creating images until the liquid substance is acknowledged and identified. Would you consider this 'anti-process'?
