New toys to generate new affects done solely for the pleasure of man: ARCHITECTURE is a global abstract machine made by man and for man ... the whole machinic enterprise is distorted and contorted toward the representation and embodiment of the substance of the human agency such that ROBOTIC Systems are expressions of this desire par excellence: Agents are created in the image of Man, which is essentially a master/slave relation whereby robots are depleted of monadic agency ... the end result is the further perpetuation of the Anthropocene ... a new age however is gradually taking place, one that demands a Monadic Ethics of Engagement that respect the autonomy of agents, which, even in their artificiality, are not unlike agents of natural systems ... For the first time we are entering a universe of Multi-Agent systems -- not the ones that are currently deployed in the design of architecture, which is predicated on the pleasure of man -- behaving dynamically within a symbiosis of the multiple, which will no longer be designed solely for the pleasure of man ... lets face it: the Universe doesnt care about Man ... the sooner we realize this, the better off it will be in coming to terms with being and existence ...
