How to Read Track B

Track B is not decoration and not a code to be cracked. Seven marks, read left to right, subject then operation then result.

The set

□

Ground — The blank sheet. Where an argument is allowed to start.

▮

Press — Ink laid down. A statement that cannot be taken back.

≡

Order — Ruled lines. Structure imposed, for good or ill.

⚙

Machine — Any system that runs whether or not you consent.

⛓

Chain — Dependency. What the machine uses to keep you near it.

↻

Loop — Repetition held long enough to be examined.

✕

Refusal — The mark you supply. Nothing else in the set is yours.

A worked example

Blank sheet, ink laid down, refusal. In English: we printed it, and printing it was the argument.
