When I was a child, I had a recurring nightmare where all that was,

​was a single, literal mass, out of scale with myself, crushing me to death.

​

This all-mass is exactly how things are-a metastasis of things, their pseudopodia creeping into and out of each other,  some oncology of ontology: the masses and volumes of what is.

How do we apprehend these masses and volumes; how do we Acknowledge them? The unsystematized list, with conceptual hat-tipping to Walter Benjamin, Annemarie Mol and John Law, functions as a way to better address this by asking (how might (something) be where it is while also acknowledging that it is not everywhere—how might (something) make room for whatever it also necessarily leaves out?)
