I just wrote this to an inquirer:
“Object” is a tough word and it does bring up this ideologeme of nasty
grey porridge, but we OOO-ers are struggling against that. I like to
think that withdrawal means total uniqueness. Things
withdraw from access, remember, which doesn't mean that they become
vague haphazard blobs of whateverness. Withdrawal means “unspeakable,”
because unique. Withdraw doesn't mean lose definition, but be so definite that all modes of access fail in some sense.
I should note that this inquirer had some experience of Zen—this does seem to help to understand the physicality of OOO, rather than abstract training in “Buddhist philosophy” (sic).
