ontopower

is a changing ecology of power pivoting on the idea of preemption.

Ontopower does not replace prior powers. Rather, it reorganizes and reintegrates them around the new fulcrum of preemption, changing their object and mode of operation in the process. Ontopower designates a changing 'ecology of powers.' The way in which this ecology of powers pivots on preemption brings new urgency to what can only be called metaphyscial problems. Preemption is a time concept. It denotes acting on the time before: the time of threat, before it has emerged as a clear and present danger. What is this time of the before' How can it be acted upon' How can that acting upon already constitute a decision, given the ungraspability of that which has yet to eventuate and may yet take another form' ' (Massum)i 2015: 1)
