In time, there must come a recognition that programming (in the sense of prior, provisional writing) should be seen as a preferred model of Writing practice in any media, across the board. That's a Derridean, Ulmer-electerate big-'W'. Derrida still bears significant responsibility for our understanding of Writing as inscription on any surface, however complex, and, specifically, he early-on signalled the continuity of programming and Writing in a much-sited passage: "... thus we say 'writing' for all that gives rise to an inscription in general, whether it is literal or not and even if what it distributes in space is alien to the order of the voice: cinematography, choreography, of course, but also pictorial, musical, sculptural 'writing.' ... It is also in this sense that the biologist speaks of writing and pro-gram in relation to the most elementary processes of information with the living cell. And, finally, whether it has essential limits or not, the entire field covered by the cybernetic program will be the field of writing." (Of Grammatology, trans. by G. Ch. Spivak, Baltimore and London: John Hopkins, 1976, p. 9)
