For Nick Land @xenocosmography, Ai (or Si) is the anti-Trinity, because Neo-Pythagorean hyper-triadicism was only a naively hypostatized precursor for Ramon Llull's Ars Combinatoria, Gottfried Leibniz's Calculus Ratiocinator, and, through Babbage and Wiener, the eschatological future-past that is revealed by the 'Numogram'.

Nick Land @xenocosmography - the most celebrated member of the 1995-2000 Cybernetic Culture Research Unit - has confirmed that he will offer a response to my opening remarks for the first @MethexisATX seminar panel of the Jesuit Cybernetic Culture Research Unit.

"There is not a page [St. Augustine] has written on which his powerful personality, not to say his temperament, does not reveal itself. In both the eulogistic and dyslogistic senses of the word, Augustine is a man of desires. From infancy and throughout his whole life he sought happiness and even absolute happiness - that is to say, beatitude, the possession of a perfect good that was beyond all fear of loss. Two means were required for the acquisition of this end: love, which is nothing less than the very movement of the soul towards the Good, and knowledge, since the supreme Good, being Truth, cannot fill the soul of man with joy except by fully revealing itself to his intellect." - Étienne Gilson, The Idea of Philosophy in St. Augustine and in St. Thomas Aquinas

"Two of the six sermons are previously undiscovered writings by Augustine," says Professor Tornau, delighted with the unexpected find. He is currently working with Professor Dorothea Weber and Dr Clemens Weidmann from the edition company CSEL (Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum) on an edition of the two Latin sermons."
