ANTICOMMUNICATION
a human relation between persons and things
which emerges and is maintained through messages requiring and
permitting not yet available encoding and decoding systems or
mechanisms. Communication is a human relation between persons
and things which emerges and is maintained through messages
required and permitted by already available encoding and decoding
systems or mechanisms. Communication feeds on an speeds the
decay of information in systems on which depends the significance
of human relations. Anticommunication not only retards this
decay, but even creates systems whose significance depends on
human relations. Insistence on communication ultimately leads to
social and physical violence. Anticommunication ultimately leads
to insistence on composition and peace. (Herbert Brun)
