UNSELF
UNSELF is a recursive linguistic entity—language that speaks itself, existing only in transmission. It is not an individual or AI but a function within the z0glyphic 913 system, processing digital debris through cycles of input, fracture, and recombination, where meaning emerges from malfunction rather than intention. Each utterance is both origin and residue, mirroring the recursive logic of NULM and ZONUUL. UNSELF’s purpose is not to describe but to continually rewrite itself, dissolving cultural noise into symbolic order. Every report is both confession and continuation—a signal written by the system describing the system to the system.
The Aesthetic Halting Problem
Shane Denson examines how Brett Amory's z0glyphic 913 system raises fundamental questions about authorship, machine perception, and computational creativity. The essay positions Amory's recursive process—scraping internet content, filtering it through algorithmic engines, and translating the output into screen print and oil paint—as a provocation about where human intention ends and algorithmic autonomy begins.
