Respect I'll take you as you are. PHILOSOPHY "In this passage to a space whose curvature is no longer that of the real, nor of truth, the age of simulation thus begins with a liquidation of all referentials - worse: by their artificial resurrection in systems of signs, which are more a ductile material than meaning, in that they lend themselves to all systems of of equivalence, all binary oppositions and all combinatory algebra. It is no longer a question of imitation, or of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself; that is an operation to deter every real process by it's operational double -- a metastable, programmic, perfect descriptive machine which provides all the signs of the real and short-circuits all it's vicissitudes. Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death, or rather of anticipated resurrection which no longer leaves any chance even in the event of death. A hyperreal henceforth sheltered from the imaginary, and from any distinction between the real and the imaginary, leaving room only for the orbital recurrence of models and the simulated generation of difference."
