Hyperstition (n): Element of effective culture that makes itself real, through fictional quantities functioning as time travelling potentials. Hyperstition operates as a coincidence intensifier, effecting a call to the Old Ones.¹

As long as the human animal is bound to a singular perspective for the sake of its sanity, the mysteries of the multifaceted jewel known to us as Time will remain eternally ineffable and inscrutable.²

In his essay ‘The Hyperstitional Philosophy of Time-Travel Cybernetics’, Cabrales establishes the baseline Heideggerian nature of meta-temporal narratology: “The time-traveler (…) intervenes in History to try and reveal a World which is the effect of its causes”³. There is the movement backwards – the transition of temporality from a fixed-forward state to a malleable, rheological substance which one may cast oneself into in a variety of directions – and then there is the recognition and manipulation of events that will reshape the seemingly-fixed structure of the future/present from whence they arrived from like so much wet clay. 

In comparison to this recognisable and comprehensible approach to the fluidity of the space-time continuum, Cabrales proceeds to investigate a far less common and far more unsettling phenomenon: hyperstition, being the method by which one may “(send) an idea to the future by means of the past and thus retrochronically revealing not the virtuality of that future idea, but its imminent actuality”⁴. Rather than the individual engaged in hyperstitional activity simply moving backwards through a fluid mass of time, they instead create a recursive conceptual loop which draws the world and all its inhabitants towards a timeline which was, is, and always must have been.

Consider, for example, the case of [Article 23-MU>CLASSIFIED//REDACTED] recovered from the now-mostly ashen remnants of the Vysparov Collection in New York City⁵, in which the Beat Generation author was said to have “entered a momentary catatonic trance” during which “silent communication with a ghostly non-human companion had flashed him forward to his life as an old man, several decades in the future”⁶ upon contact with said [Article 23-MU>CLASSIFIED//REDACTED]. 

In combination with Cabrales’ generalised view of the field of cybernetics as “the study of information processes and regulated communications within complex systems” (with said systems to be understood as being “cybernetic systems in their own right” which may “operate with a given degree of autonomy”)⁷, we may recognise the Burroughs-Vysparov case as the enactment of a closed hyperstitional loop within our timeli– +//>>>

Excerpt from “Field Report on Belbury Post-Anthropocene Numogrammatical Conference – 08/07/2021” – author unknown

…at which point Dr Barron Render began to discuss the manner in which his entomological findings had been passed on to Tiptree Jr as an aid for her writing, despite the fact that said author died when Render would have been around 3 years of age. While it may be possible to pass off these declarations as the ramblings of a man driven mad by the endless chittering of his obsessions, I am afraid we cannot dismiss a potential connection between Dr Render and [REDACTED]. Further information will be required on the man’s history, and further observations shall have to take place in the near future. We cannot risk another Code Scarlet with the state of things as they are. 

Additional Notes:

Under the influence of surreptitiously administered sodium thiopental, Dr Render began to discourse freely (if with some slurring) in regards to Pazuzu and the recent COVID-19 crisis. Further research has led to the understanding that Pazuzu was “the Sumero-Assyrian demon of epidemics”, mythically responsible for “(scavenging) the stratified Earth and its biosphere in the form of dust, which is then uplinked to alien currents flowing in the universe”¹⁰ in order to disseminate diseases. The fact that Pazuzu is also known to be connected to locust imagery seems all too fitting for a xenoentomologist’s ramblings. 

However, no details on any potential connection to [REDACTED] could be determined – whether or not this can be traced to a miscalculation of the dosage reducing Render’s capacity for rational thought or the implementation of some latent hypno-numogoetic methodology remains unknown at this stage. 

As such, I would advise a shift in Dr Barron Render’s on-file status from Mauve to Ochre, and I would strongly recommend relaying this information to all Second Shell AOE Operatives within the vicinity. The clock is tic– +//>>>

Thirty-Seven of Troubled Waters

+ > > ( ( : ) ( : ) )

From Deleuze and Guattari’s Professor Challenger to Land and Fisher’s Doctor Barker, hyperstitional individuals have time and time again breached the boundaries of the world in which we exist. They do not remain on a page or within a text: they become fully functional memetic beings, reaching out beyond the confines of rarefied theory and allowing their irreal influence to seep into our material realm.

Indeed, as many Qabalists would have it, ‘the Crown is within the Kingdom and the Kingdom is within the Crown’: praxis and theory are no so much separate, but rather act as part of the fluid confluence between the seen and unseen worlds. The material and the memetic endlessly segue into one another, and we watch slowly as our minds become the mechanism by which hyperstitional time-travel takes place. 

In his paper, Cabrales discusses the issue of hyperstition in relation to the ‘black-box’ posited by cybernetic pioneer Norbert Wiener. The question is simple: “at what cost will your wish come true?”¹⁴ One must consider what was running through the mind of the individual who willed [REDACTED]^A into the world: what strange wish did they seek to fulfil through the use of the Numogoetic systems underpinning our solar system?
