Algorithmic governmentality responds to the imperative of transparency by correlating digital data in order to generate a perfectly adequate mirror-image of reality. This operation of re-presentation can be addressed as an issue of language and writing; but it also can questioned in its incapacity to allow for reiteration, correction, adjustment. The call for transparency rests on this myth of a totality closed upon itself, deprived of any leftover.
