Star jelly (also called astromyxin, astral jelly) is a gelatinous substance sometimes found on grass or even on branches of trees.[1] According to folklore, it is deposited on the Earth during meteor showers. Star jelly is described as a translucent or grayish-white gelatin that tends to evaporate shortly after having "fallen." Explanations have ranged from the materials being the remains of frogs, toads, or worms, to the byproducts of cyanobacteria, to the paranormal.[2][3][4][5] Reports of the substance date back to the 14th century and have continued to the present day.

Thanks, LD!—& this dovetails/slimetrails perfectly with the Burroughsian theory of language as a #virus, the Latin literally meaning something slimᵉy/formless/in-formation (ProtoItalic #weisos, ProtoIndoEuropean #weys, Sanskrit #víṣa, Ancient Greek #iós)

Did someone make the Lovecraft connection yet? Feels pertinent.
I thought about the abject and snakey as traits of satan. The green, slimey, gooey as the underworld, but Luka said something about interdimensional and it I thought, that's it. It's definitely not the devil, because he's from our world, a contrivance of our morals. The goo is something otherworldly, something we can't understand. Probably the goo is just how it manifests in our consciousness but in reality, it's something we can't comprehend.

See!
A priest invites quantum physicist Professor Howard Birack and his students to join him in the basement of a monastery belonging to "The Brotherhood of Sleep", an old order who sometimes manages to communicate through dreams.
The priest requires their assistance in investigating a mysterious cylinder containing a swirling green liquid. Among the thirteen academics present are wise-cracking Walter, demure Kelly, and lovers Brian Marsh and Catherine Danforth.
They decipher text found next to the cylinder which describes the liquid as the corporeal embodiment of Satan. The liquid appears sentient, and broadcasts increasingly complex streams of data. The academics use a computer to analyze the data, and find that it includes differential equations. Over a period of two days, small jets of liquid escape from the cylinder. Members of the group exposed to the liquid become possessed by the entity and attack the others.
Birack and the priest theorize that Satan is actually the offspring of an even more powerful force of evil, the "Anti-God", who is bound to the realm of anti-matter.

The matrix is on telly right now. He’s just taken the pill and the mirror’s turned to slime. It engulfs him and he wakes up in that womb thing in Zion. He pierced through another layer of slime and gazed upon his new reality with slime dripping from his face. He’s unplugged and then he and all the slime are flushed away, he’s baptised in sewage before being lifted out. We see his slime covered face gazing up at Morpheus who utters “you’re in the real world now”.
negrastani talking about thomas gold's 'deep hot biosphere' theory in cyclonopedia:
"Thomas Gold's theory of Deep Hot Biosphere suggests that petroleum is not a fossil fuel, and that oil has its origin in natural gas flows which feed bacteria living in the bowels of the Earth. Therefore, the demonarchy of oil is not subjected to the laws of the dead (i.e. the preserved corpses of prehistoric organisms) but rather is animated by a Plutonic vitalism (abiogenic petroleum generated by the nether biosphere of the Earth). Petroleum surfaces from primordial origins - thus, it is not of the Earth but of the Outside, planted here as a xeno-chemical Insider... If oil is somehow undying then so also are the warmachines dissolved in it, until such time as they accomplish their tasks, one of behalf of the Insider and the Earth, the other on behalf of monotheism and the Divine..."
so the slime could be thought of as a type of afrofuturism maybe, but one looking inside rather than outside (with 'inside' having come originally from 'outside' anyway). and the slime is possessed and alive.
so maybe the basic vocabulary ('breathe') and inattention to the beat (in fact the beat doesn't matter, that's why it's so shit) is because of an attempt to go right back down to something alien in the core.
