RESEARCH FOCUS
Conditions precede outcomes.
The research programme examines the infrastructural conditions that make visible choices, judgements, and clinical outcomes possible or probable. The subject remains an agent, but is not the sole author of the field in which action occurs.
04CORE CONCEPTS
HT–01Reality Paradigm
Reality precedes the categories through which institutions measure, classify, and judge it.
Onopticon
An analytic model for systems that do not merely observe subjects, but construct the field in which subjects become observable and actionable.
Homovictimus
The subject who remains an agent while carrying conditions, costs, and judgements they did not author alone.
Metabolic Ambush
The outcome becomes clinically visible only after much of its biological, material, and social history has already occurred.
Cytopolitics
The imposition of a subject's conditions of action through institutionally organised exposures that enter cellular, hormonal, and neural regulation.
