Levi vs. “relations all the way down”

I think this is A KNOCKOUT POST, would add only a few minor corollaries, but prefer not to do so here because they would garble the elegance of Levi’s post as it currently stands.

He also mentions, correctly, that Ian Bogost’s Unit Operations is perhaps the key text on the difference between objects (or units, as he calls them) and systems. That book is a very smooth read, and should be read within philosophy circles more widely than seems to be the case. (Ian’s already a rock star in computer and electronic gaming circles.)
