    How could we assess the web of a city and its effect on the residents’ mental disposal? Is every urban status the result of the eternal interactions of residents’ mental disposals? Where there are interactions there are frictions; fermentations through loose or tight collectiveness. Is there any chance for the opposite? Each moment of city could be accidental; could be explicitly defined by the degree of withdrawal or even deterrence of its residents. The mob likes to mingle. The city is a crib by now. Carnivorous urban planners and their dying breed. The city has an enormous sedative region; acting as a joyful drug for them. Region/Area/District/Place/Spot/Neighbourhood all those boring names. A preset walking path. A recreational area. A sunny beach. The limestone pavements by the sand y los palmitos. A gathering spot. Mental junk-food. Wander or live peacefully.

      "Each moment of city could be accidental; could be explicitly defined by the degree of withdrawal or even deterrence of its residents"...
      This could only be achieved, when a withdrawal and an abortion of social roles takes place. In other words-situ words- "the most pertinent revolutionary experiments in culture have sought to break the spectators’ psychological identification with the hero so as to draw them into activity. ...The situation is thus designed to be lived by its constructors...". Cancellation of social roles, increase of "livers"- living and appreciating the accidental nature of city life, bon vivre in a non- pre-organised context. that's the locus of non-conformism.
