# bitlit as libre public domain electronic blockhead literature > the embedded surveillance in the specifications for the currency itself integrates the authoritarian dimensions of globalized capitalism - a continuous surveillance and valorization of formerly non-commercial behaviors and relationships - literally into the system of exchange itself > ~ ctheory - theory behind the codes idea space: "#bitlit" - libre public domain blockhead literature - an bs open decentralised authoring and publishing platform. based off the notion of '.xsy" research spaces and rhizome's commission "futures along the blockhead" - specifically the research of hanna nilsson and rasmus svensson on a decentralized platform for publication and distribution of digital texts (v1.0) consider there's nothing whatsoever inherently liberating about code or networks - that the phrase "internet freedom" is a misnomer. seen as (virtual) code maybe even modern postmodern literature functions as a self-governing (crypto-corporate author-itarian) utopia of forever socially dislocated fragments; any decentralized system only seems a fully dis-functioning capitalist parody of the boring parody that is chomskian anarcho-syndicalist socialism. rather than constant "proof of work" there seems a need for "theories of play" one version of such a shared (social relational) space of/for literature could be a mod for "reflex" arena fps overlaying blockhead text onto a combative space and turning it into a public gallery of collaborative fiction (eg. neuropink) // video here even simpler - collaborative writing platform penflip meets subterfuge - a flat 2d mobile interface for anonymous uploading and (optional anonymous) realtime public editing forking (instancing) and multiple re-versioning can take place // video here yet what would exactly be the dark 'current-cy' running through fully blockhead-distributed digital literature? who or rather what writes the global ledger (primary record) and keeps the checks and balances neat and tidy for the common good? even on paper it seems the ideas (cultural programs) running behind a 'free' (libre) distributed literature are heavily stacked against it simply put the distributed decentralized network is just another form of centralized censorship conceptual ingredients of '#bitlit' a list / chain of '#bitlit' ingredients **+** jean baudrillard's notion of symbolic exchange **+** xanadu transclusions commonplacing **+** the architecture of information **+** shedcoin parallels and overlaps: wikipedia - reddit - twitter - twitch tv **+** forking instancing code virtualization **+** consider "literature as a service" **+** "3d bulletin boards" **+** penflip: github for writers (wow remember that) **+** ethereum's ominous sounding 'word computer' // republic of bob
