In "'Problematization' in Laubies's deconstructive work," problematization initially functioned as a prudent probe; but its action went beyond mere problem proposal. It marked and defaced, flattened and distorted, underrode and de-meaned ones own creative urge. It eradicated totally and left in the lurch a rude mistrust that snubbed all reliance on "technique [and] virtuosity" (Laubies, 2001, Aphorism Nine). Its importance could be gauged through indexical aids and performative provisos such as unparsed automatistic archaeology, aleatoricism and intertexturality, that were not to be read for their presumed inventiveness. It nonetheless reckoned a spatial sphere, which at a very high stratum, or frequency, "had recourse to a god" (Zoetmulder). With inbuilt resolve and resolution, problematization was essentially left to chance.

In a related sense, participation in what had previously been described as "deconstructive practice" was tantamount to drawing on the cognitive means by which perception, as a culturally acquired and shielded edifice, was ousted by transordinate apparatuses devoted to destabilizing all known things. What on earth was left to be unearthed?

Lightness over pale-blue line of horizon;
The untrodden beach under baking sun.

But exactly how this came about was anyone's adventure.
