:: Repossessed visitors can stimulate a hypothetical being into dialogue.
:: This causes alterations in the being's form to reflect states of possession
:: by words donated by visitors and by texts consumed from its own and other websites.
:: Form follows words and ideas as well as function.
:: Remotely sensed, locally entered and prewired words act as perceptual nutrients
:: as being organises its form through metabolic dialogue - words actuate vrml-molecular joints.
:: This process of language-induced freedom of form ('linguification') outlines a
:: post-biotic trajectory of human bodies directly manifesting mental and verbal states;
:: of word-satellite effigies evolving independent existences; and of remote stimuli
:: detaching from carbon-based biologies.
