Author of Interfaces and Us: User Experience Design and the Making of the Computable Subject, which James cites in dark-discourse (March 2026, https://exitmusic.world/dark-discourse): the interface pre-specifies what a person is (preferences, clicks, consent toggles), and everything outside that specification is ontologically excluded. James finds the subtitle "an eye-opener in itself".

Not yet researched in the wiki: a lead for a session on design discourse and the computable subject.
