Essay on Nomadology: The War Machinery
 
 
.... Axiom II: The War Machinery is an invention of the Nomads (because it does not belong to the State and is differing from the military institutions). The nomadic War Machinery has three aspects, a spatial-geographical one, an arithmetic or algebraic one  and an affective aspect.
Sentence V: The Nomadic Existence necessarily effects the conditions under which the War Machinery is unfolding in Space. (vgl. pp. 522f of the Japanese edition, own translation)

Enzian can project himself back in the Erdschweinhöhle starting a new file on the IG --- see it getting fatter and fatter as the interlocks develop, the books are audited, the witnesses come --- not forward but sideways at least, always in shadows.... And if it should prove not to be the Rocket, not the IG? Why then he'll have to go on won't he, on to something else --- the Volkswagen factory, the pharmaceutical companies ... and if it isn't even in Germany then he'll have to start in America or Russia and if he dies before they find the True Text to study, then there'll have to be machinery for others to carry it on.... (...) More staff will mean more Zone-Hereros, not fewer --- more information coming in about the enemy, more connections made will mean a greater threat
 to the people, will mean the tribal numbers will have to increase. Is there an alternative? no ... (...) Enzian knows who he is. "Saint Pauli. Let's go. Your machine .... (GR, pp. 524f)
