___What are power relations?_________________________

• -Conceptual tools employed to define power relations.....<[LINK]>
• -How these particular definitions were arrived at.........<[LINK]>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--A workable starting definition is that

Power relations are what enable who to do what to whom.

• - Note that this is _not_ "who does what to whom." <[LINK] -1)>
• -A more explicit statement of this would be:

Power relations are the matrix of possible actors and their

possible interactions. <[LINK] -9)>

--To apply this definition of power relations:

The matrix of possible actors and their possible

interactions would be all the ways that the following

template could be completed in any one moment, employing for

each blank in order: a property, a possible actor, a

possible act, and a possible actor (can be reflexive).

_(what)_ enables _(who)_ to _(do_what_to)_ _whom_

e.g. wealth the west exploit the rest

labor the rest sell to the west

and so on but with better poetics... <[LINK] 1 8>

The keys to this system are instantaneous responsivieness,

simultaneous possibilities, and perceived access to "properties."
