High-Resolution Seismic Interpretation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AudxgN0j57A
Quote
“the accurate spatial identification of high-resolution geologic features like faults, natural fractures,
and small scale subsurface heterogeneities can provide a pathway to higher permeability; therefore,
they need to be characterized and mapped.”

The sovereign people of geontopower are those who abide by the fundamental separation of Life and
Nonlife with all the subsequent implications.

Quote
“Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard and brittle
crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre; and it is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor.
It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, and lead are
below it.”
7. ATTRACTIONS
almagmations and affinities, affective magenetism of other kinds: appeals, path dependencies, attractions,
rejections, repulsion, touch, hardware, inhuman mineralogy.
Texts
Karen Barad, On Touching. The Inhuman That Therefore I Am. Brown University and differences: A
Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies, vol, 23. 2012
Electromagnetic repulsion: That is the tale physics usually tells about touching. Repulsion at the core of
attraction. See how far that story gets you with lovers.
