Obviously, the emerging, post-network neo-praxitic form of understanding will supersede the merely, and now hopelessly passe, understandings inspired by outdated theoretical models inspired by cybernetics. In order to truly comprehend the increasingly fragmented, fractured and existentially nihilistic nature of post-network warfare, we must adopt linguistic formats that both adequately and accurately reflect the increasingly bricolage-esque nature of modern conflict.
