“Drives are the functions of nomadic cybernetic systems, not instincts, but simulated instincts , artificial instincts. They arc plastic replacements for hard-wired instinctual responses, routing a sensory-motor pathway through the virtual machine of the unconscious . There are two basic diagrams for such processes : that of regulation by negative feedback which suppresses difference and seeks equilibrium, or that of guidance by positive feedback which reinforces difference and escapes equilibrium. Machinic processes are either cyberpositive-nomadic, with a deterritorializing outcome, or cybernegative-sedentary, with a reterritorializing outcome.” (Nick Land)
