mutation testifies to the mark that randomness leaves upon presence. that random act of lol exposing her external code had began to effect her genetic code, this intervention changed the material form in which she would manifest herself into the world. her mutation is now associated with the displacement of presence/absence by pattern/randomness. lol slipped into herself, the mainline of the data stream, as if some cartesian rhythm intersected and crossed over on itself. what she hadn't realized broke through her semi-consciousness, she had rewritten her bodily code by exposing more "o's." rather than lol, she had become looooollool. it was becoming impossible to distinguish meaningfully between the biological organism she was and the informational circuit into which she was becoming enmeshed. the generative coupling of linguistics and sexuality began flickering, signifying a troubling coupling of language and machine.
