ABSTRACT
Regimes of operadiction simultaneously produce both their own governance scripts and the ontology of their operation, the realities in which they apply. Regimes of operadiction and veridiction share aspects of open-ended and adaptive modes of governance. The veridiction regime operates as a sort of knowledge tool, to produce a governmental truth capable of affirming the powers appropriate to manage a population, to maximize the population's productivity under competitive conditions that constantly require more production. As a descriptor of the utility of data in neural network processes, value is a function of accuracy and signal strength. Critique of classical regimes has been organized around the representations made by or associated with international legal regimes and instruments, seeking out the space between the representation and reality, between the guiding norm and the concrete institutional effect, to demonstrate divergence there.
