Technicity: the
capability of behaviourally modern humans to dominate the earth by
controlling beings that are considered as objects
Graphicacy: the aspect of technicity that entails drawing
The premise: that the modern human intellect is uniquely embodied in the
evolved capability of our
species to draw, and thereby to make things; and further, that this
capability co-opts language (speech), a prior adaptation unrelated to
creativity, as a mode of (equivocal) communication
Starting point: the stored program digital computer (Turing machine)
