Abstract
In many service lines (here called formatted queues) parties are incessantly busied positioning themselves so as to exhibit the real existence of an order of service. Engaged with the work of producing the order of service audio-visual details are of central and material relevance to the business at hand. The phenomenon’s staff, called a “local population cohort”, is busied producing the setting’s distinctive phenomenal field properties of designed enterprises: oriented objects, directional, orientational, positional, place, placement, distanced, facings, rotational, and normal passing looks of things, perspectival, aspects, approaches, inner, outer, and temporal horizontal properties, in and as of embodied visual details of witnessable things. These are produced in accountable coherent technical particulars of the setting’s immortality, and in just that immortality’s witnessable details, its witnessable generality.
