The Function defines the correspondence between variables. In function computation, when the independent variable x is assigned a value, the dependent variable y is determined at the same time. However, the brain's processing ensures they are not perceived in the exact same instant; they are captured one after the other. This computational process gives rise to a temporal fissure, a mere step between two worlds.
This experiment was meant to simulate the operation of language through the mechanics of function computation. I've applied a modified Caesar cypher to encrypt the English alphabet, utilizing a sequential substitution encryption method. The encryption rule shifts each consonant forward by one position in the alphabet, while the order of vowels remains unchanged. I repurposed a set of alphabet stamps into a device for “automatically” generating this new language and produced the Enciphered letter A. Once encrypted by the function, the letter remains readable, yet it necessitates a calculation to be decoded, a process that amplifies the perceptual delay brought about by the operation of language.
The death of a mug is instantaneous in reality; in the medium of language, however, it is slow, blurred, and lagging.
