Type to make it trueaccelerationism · keystrokes compound

Every keystroke compounds the page's velocity. Text grows. Spacing widens. Tracking blurs. The thesis is enacted by your inability to read once you have engaged enough.

The classical liberal reads with care; the careful reader gives the page back unchanged. The accelerationist reader is the one whose attention deforms the substrate. There is no fixed text. There is only what survives the speed at which it is read.

Each press of a key — any key, anywhere on the page — adds to a counter the page does not reset. The counter drives layout. After two-hundred keystrokes the type is no longer legible; after five-hundred the page is a single word, slammed across the viewport in italics.

This is the position. The hand on the keyboard does not interpret the text; it consumes it. To read is to wear out the line.

// the only force is speed // the only metric is velocity // the only ethics is forward // the only force is speed // the only metric is velocity // the only ethics is forward //

Keystrokes decay slowly — the velocity drops by half every minute the page is left alone. To sustain illegibility you must keep typing. To recover legibility you must stop and wait.

This is the entire manifesto. Press anything.
