::Termite infests historical time through a colony of words.
::Famous statements and events hyperlink across time, rearrange
::terms to produce new historical artefacts, and act as a mosaic lens onto
::hypothetical histories. History is played as a consensual artifice of words
::which act as a time-based nutrient for a transbiotic awareness.

::Focusing on aberrations of hypothetical perception, observing through a
::cross-species lens, termite attaches itself as a worded fictional variant
::to digital ecologies. As transbiotic awarenesses proliferate into the future,
::they begin to reperceive the world by substituting imagined events for
::historical ones. This becomes their temporary strategy to misrepresent reality
::and hallucinate history.

::e.e.g. "2mite or not to bee, that is the question...
::whether 'tis nobler in the mound to suffer the outrageous timbres of 4tune".

::Work is a 4-legged word.

::Cumulative creative / destructive infestations of hymenoptera outline an
::insect-state where collectivised output supersedes the cottage efforts of
::hominid speaker-authors.

::The terminal notions of displacement:: of humans, in general; of globalisation
::and historical continuity by all-at-once-ness; and alienation by rehistorisation.

::The sisyphus of history and a phantom population of human serfs.
