ABSTRACT
To track is to quantify movement in the space of the present for the purpose of gaining some kind of strategic advantage. It is to narrow the gap between detection and engagement, or desire and its attainment. Tracking aims for a realtime perceptual agency, a live concert of forces, while always aiming to transcend the limitations of the real. Its true allegiance lies not in the present but in the future. It is fundamentally an anticipatory perception – one that oers up a predictive knowledge-power, a competitive edge.
