2. The solid as an entity which is inherently possessed by the void. The only way that the solid can initialize its architectonic and compositional activities (processes for survival, development, etc.) is by letting the void in, The dynamic traits of solid can only be actuated when solid is eaten, convoluted and messed up by the void. There is no other option for solid. in ( )hole complex, on a superficial level (bound to surface dynamics), every activity of the solid appears as a tactic to conceal the void and appropriate it, as a program for inhibiting the void, accommodating the void by sucking it into the economy of surfaces (as in the case of the niche,17 a dwelling / accommodating system, a compartmentalizer of spaces) or filling it. But on a deep compositional level (the machinery of the real), all activities of the solid are oriented towards engineering new voiding functions, convolutions, vermicular spaces (henceforth, Nemat-space) which eventually unground solidus without erasing it. On this deep compositional level, the solid conducts the convoluting functions of the solid-contaminating void, in the form of vermicular lines — ‘worms’ (Nemat) as Lovecraft suggests, or worm-functions (the nemat- function), itinerant lines in the form of knotted holes, or the other way around. When a worm or a void- enforcer crawls in ( )hole complex, it metamorphoses into a different geometrical structure. In the absence of the grounding tyranny of the Whole, the worm-function internally reconfigures its modules and turns itself into a more versatile line through participation with the complex whose recesses are interconnected. All this in the wake of solidity, which is reinvented by the ( )hole complex as a profound strategic tool. In holey space, the solid actively conducts and mobilizes the worm-functions of the void (complications) rather than the void's phagic and purgative mechanisms or its desire to devour. Solid Proceeds as the void-enforcer, a pestis solidus blasphemer.This chapter explores the intrinsic relationship between solid and void within the ( )hole complex, arguing that the solid's survival and compositional activity depend on its contamination and convolution by the void. It introduces the concept of nemat-space, a porous, worm-ridden, elastic geometry where solid and fluid dynamically interact, producing radical deformations and ungrounding the solid's traditional grounding functions. The chapter also situates this interplay within a broader temporal framework called Incognitum Hactenus, linking abyssal and chronological times and emphasizing the strategic, political, and ontological implications of the solid-void entanglement.
