If there were just relays and circuits of differential figures, embodied and reflexive so as to appear at some second degree as meanings and knowingness and life, couldn't you then do away with any need for being, that is for a knowing of itself as an instance, a 'this', beyond all meanings? Yes, it might be possible if such a structure were built around a void, an unthinkable, a black hole that cut across the circulation of reflexive figures; in short an unthinkable thought in a system that can think anything. The trouble is that you couldn't create such a system without an appeal to being. You need a meta-theory to in order create a system that appears to have no meta-theory. You can't have a functional black hole without something that isn't just function to hold it there.
