Inquiry into modes of existence pg 418
"The fact that there are no more servants in that seven-story Haussmannian building in Paris doesn’t
mean that Balmain’s script (the architect’s name is inscribed on the façade) won’t keep operating. Balmain decided in 1904 that the elevator for the owners would only go up as far as the sixth floor. Today, all the students who have to climb the back stairs find themselves “under” a script so dispersed in time that to be “above” it one would have to go back to the Balmain agency in 1904, or else spend a fortune on technology"
This is a quote that brings to my mind sociobiology. If instread of thinking the time region till 1904 we go quite back (on top of [REF] time), at the times of the savana and then we imagine the repetitive music of birth and death, with slight or bigger variations, played on living meat, that gets coordinated with other living meat and other beings at different levels of organization (seen again thorugh the forms that populate [REF]), until behavior and emotions and potentialities that just spring forth today can travel back in time, changing on the way until they find their seed-form into probability judgements about far away "worlds" that we can collectively agree on today.
It is as if we construct a poem of the past, a peculiar form of art , respecting [REF] requirements, which is able to make a possible history for all those relevant beings, housing them into a common church.
Then science too, with its own repetition, from generation of scientists to generation of scientists , sensitive to new interpretations and theories, sensitive to new concerns and politics, is like another evolutionary march that casts and recasts the poem of the past
