An unavoidably imperfect reconstruction of the Broken Art schismatic joint declaration
Archeologists’s note: Both the joint declaration I will attempt to reconstruct here and the original Broken Art Manifesto which prompted it have been lost (for now (hopefully)). Both the production and the loss of both documents have been recent, and thus synaptic data is available as a source to supplement the limited marginalia produced during their short existence. Chief among these marginalia is a surviving fragment, to be adequately marked.

we are the school of the brkoeen backspce ketys. we do not actually have a rule about popping them off our ketyboaerds as precommitments are cringe yet we do it anyways because thert yt make a funy sound when they pop off. we embrace the thworn ess of our exisctence, yes throwness , I believe someneo else on lesswrong someone was they that they wrote the such post on throwness theat does exist on this site called lesswrong. esveon fuck how did i mispell that so mbadbly fuck im gettin distracted by the conversation of the lady beside me at this damn starbucks anywasys i was saying even though (i think) there is a lesswrong post about throwness i think most popel here have not heard about it , or if they have they do not grok it or dismiss it as an illusion or as an obvoiuc vacuous depthity (there was supposed to be a double ee in there) ( anuyways i enjoy accidental synonym neologisms. such is the ways of the broken backspace. loose typists have their ways of makings art.) so wherewasiat o yes people on here porbs don’t really grok throwness. o the ea in me just whispered into my minf the post we are always on triage. goopd post. related to throwness, or at leasrt it would be false if throwness was dafalse. i belive the origin of throwness is continental and thus its original exposition was probably deliberartyyle obtus e and thus unexpugnable (is ocntinental obtuse writing style a defense reaction against cencorship by continental despotisms/totalitarizationtotalityisms?)((a quetion for another time and probs another person to answer) sorry for the missing close paren xkcd whispers here about god and lisp here ti goes ) but anywasys if you want a groovy zeerusty almost teleported from another timeline yet clear yet dense intro to thrwoness those brilliant madmen terry winograd and fernando flores did it real goos d as an aside on their book about cybernetics. something something redefining coputation nd cognition i think. i believe they had a bit on another part of that book where tehy argued against the then emerging now almots universal among cs-brained people conceptions of we humans as ooda loops and functions wilth well defined i/o channels. beahviorist bull. they (correctly imo) say we humans are best understood as continuously running a a map construcition process /(yes you live inside your map you dingus you do not eactually access the territorrty which ia sis is argualy a demiurgical construction)/ which is merely perturbed/updated by ours sensory input. if you had all your sensory nervwses cut off then youd wkeep on dreaming into ever more dsynced from reality qualia. (see? testable prediction! we the quialia schizopoasters are not all about the pseudosciencentienfic ramblings also i do actually wswear i am sober it is a mon tuesday a 3:30 pm in the afternoon here i am not a degenerate) so yeah that was thrwoness we embody it by not ever hitting backspace otr movig the cursor ever and being deliberately a bit negligant with our typing. we are all babble exuberance, and to prune is lame. at least when we ar e inmmersed in the practice of our art.so em yea i think some quotable witty slogans went here ah yes we do not backtrack to recant is to contradict yourself and of course contradictions are very much welcome here. so yea thats about it thanks.

Antiquarian’s note: As the reader may have already inferred, the reconstruction of the broken backspace school’s founding declaration is rather loose, and tracks it only in spirit and the rough outlines of its contents. The broken backspacer’s doctrine forces them to decry both the loss of their text and the Archeologists’ attempt to reconstruct it, for the latter is by necessity tainted by the foresight required to recapitulate the contents of the original text in finite time. Perhaps this makes the Archeologist himself an heresiarch. All Broken Art sects delight in this possibility.
