 Through the system of gates that let current pass hardware makes it possible to incarnate zero in a rate or rhythm as a fundamental scansion. Zero is wedged into hardware to exist in its literal read/write, an effect of the flat trompe-l'oeil of language locked up in a circuit. How is the instruction understood by the hardware? How is the machine code decoded? Through the system of gates that let current pass hardware makes it possible to incarnate zero in a rate or rhythm as a fundamental scansion.
