If the city is a territorialized space, marked by diagrams of forces that relegate dissident lives to social and subjective death, exceeding its logic is a fundamental condition for the production and sustenance of more open, fractal ways of life. This text is the precarious attempt to record experiments and escapes carried out by me to ex/orbit not only the modern/colonial city, but the world that sustains it. I argue that ex/orbitance functions as a radical ancestral technology. I then engage in sharing how my wanderings allow me to study the Ordered World and some of its sustaining matrices. I conclude the text by locating visibility as a tool of the Understanding that marks the world as we know it, and by advocating for opacity as a war machine to dissolve the Ordered World and to contemplate the Implicated World. My reflections are composed of radical black-transvestite thought, a certain critical anthropology, and the philosophy of difference.
