Nothing here is part of the collection. Each one is shown with the signals it holds in common with SIMULACRA and the entries those signals lead to, so the reason it appears can be followed and disagreed with. Distance is read off the archive graph, not scored.
Two or more signals in common with an entry of its own kind. The archive was already pointing at these.

Theory and Design in the First Machine Age
Reyner Banham · 1960
TEXTS holds three entries and no history. Banham is the one that makes the others legible: he took the machine rhetoric of the Futurists and the early modernists seriously enough to check it against what was actually built, and he was the critic who took Metabolism seriously while it was happening. Venturi's argument is a reply to his.

Capitalist Realism
Mark Fisher · 2009
The archive holds two television entries about corporate control and no text that explains why they feel the way they do. Fisher's argument is that the dominant mood is not fear of the future but the inability to imagine one, which is precisely what Severance's office and Silo's sealed shaft stage. Baudrillard is the precedent he writes from.
