Lexico Lexicon

This lexicon is an on-going project of KLT6. Every few days it is expanded with more terms elucidated here.

Shell Games

KLT6 is a shell game or a meta-shell game in the form of a triennial, in that it looks at the game environment not for its normal use (players, goals, survival, risks) but so as to deploy it as epistemology.

KLT6 relies on the paradox of the macro within the micro to an abysmal infinite regress of the sign: the economic network within one of its nodes, the set in the subset. Macroeconomic determiners act within the micro-economics of nations and individuals.

The mosque is in the Triennial space in the Central Market Annexe, in the city of Kuala Lumpur (the space of art commodities), which is in the mosque which is in the Annexe...ad infinitum.

Bootstrapping

Bootstrapping is the fundamental performance underlying the appearances and spectacles of KLT6, derived from the image of a person picking herself up by her own bootstraps or bootlaces. The spectacle of KLT6 is its own invention.

In finance the term refers on the one hand to “a collection of methods used to minimize the amount of outside debt and equity financing needed from banks and investors” (Ebben, J., & Johnson, A., (2006).

Bootstrapping in small firms: An empirical analysis of change over time. Journal of Business Venturing, Vol. 21, issue 6: 851-865), and on the other to the development of a collaborative or open source information technology in which a fuzzy border distinguishes inside from outside (or maintains the ambiguity of the distinction).
