Appendix: A demathematizing phenomenological view of quantum mechanical indeterminacy -- $t Backmatter 330 $aWe live today surrounded by countless digital gadgets and navigate through cyberspace as if it were the most natural thing in the world. This digital cast of being, however, comes from a long history of philosophical and mathematical thinking in which the Western will to productive power over movement has attained its consummation. This study traces the digital dissolution of beings from the Pythagoreans, Plato and Aristotle's ontology via Cartesian mathematical science through to our digitized economy and telecommunications. With an appendix reinterpreting quantum mechanical indeterminacy phenomenologically. 606 $aOntology 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy 606 $aCapitalism$xPhilosophy 606 $aMathematics$xPhilosophy 606 $aDigital communications 606 $aCommunication$xPhilosophy 615 0$aOntology. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCapitalism$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMathematics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDigital communications. 615 0$aCommunication$xPhilosophy. 676 $a111 700 $aEldred$b Michael$01652525 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816201903321 996 $aDigital cast of being$94003240 997 $aUNINA
