‘Conventional’ life is but a mere ritual enactment, a mechanical process. In so living, either singular aspects of the being appear to take on a mechanical form or the entire being is ‘robotised’. The essence of such electronic transformation is the total absence of feeling across the entire being. We see across nation after nation, clockwork husband marries clockwork bride, presenting mechanical personae to one another until they rust. The Energy Replicant moves to dissolve these structures of the body-mind-self, restoring the possibility of real intimate association, transcending the programming of mechanical responses.
