Having already proposed the essential maxims of Elliptical Action, we now wish to discuss the basic principles of independent space exploration.

From a purely technical perspective, the existence of autonomous and subjective conditions regarding the practical aspects of spatial experience cannot be demonstrated any further. A number of issues have emerged and confirmed the validity of our aims.

However, several questions still remain. According to the first contact made between the pioneers of independent space travel and previously unknown life-forms, the establishment of a two-way communication process requires that we leave behind a belief in the creative liberty of each individual.

The specific contribution of every astronaut to the realisation of a spatial praxis goes through an exteriorisation and then rejection of the powerful relationships that affects a recognition by the other of our legitimacy. But, although it is difficult, this legitimacy can escape from the arbitrary culture which it objectifies. It is not only a relative force, supported by non-elliptical claims and actions.

That said, it does permit an expression, directly or across various elements of mediation, of the material and symbolic significance of its representations. It follows the creation of cultural models that correspond to particular structures and forms of social routes. To reduce the level of communication with the other to within the arbitrary culture results in information being used as domination. Contrary to this, the purpose of Elliptical Action is, in a very profound sense, to transform information into formation.

Government space programs do not realise how the systems of production and distribution are well defined in economic and symbolic practice. This type of practice excludes all possibility of elliptical information (see the recent developments in Information Theory). This is also equivalent to a rejection of the principle that there are many different ways to encounter Elliptical Action (condition number 4).

It is because it lacks an economic or symbolic plan of any worth that our action will not aim at imposing its own legitimacy. On the contrary, so much is revealed of its own Being, it can do nothing but exclude from itself modes of production dominated by rational action.

If one does not negate the entropic effect of Elliptical Action, the elliptics and illusions which are attached favour a combination of the misunderstood and the recognised in what lies underneath, or the non-spoken. The emission and the comprehension of an elliptical message (under the conditions of intergration in an evoltionary spiral of infinite radius emanating from an _ point — we refer readers to the article 'Elliptical Action' in the AAA's First Annual Report) cannot be deduced from its intrinsic characteristics. This is not a tacit delegation of a larger mass of information but a spontaneous translation of a higher subjective action.

Opposing the hetero-regulation of serialised spatial practices, the AAA network is working towards developing the conditions for autonomous space exploration. We must appreciate the value of practice, and of opinions and ideas that may be contradictory and divergent. Because it is not only about forgetting pre-determined choices as also having the determination to reproduce the subject's own intrinsic properties and dispositions regarding that which is to be considered as the studied object. Materially or symbolically, the deviant object produces its own legitimacy. The process which aims to reduce the properties of the other object to the properties conferred on it by the dispositions (or intrinsic properties) of the transmitting subject, show the incapacity of science — in the pay of state controlled space agencies — to have an awareness of the weakness of their own investigations.
