Translation;
“'A translates B'. To say this is to say that A defines B. It does not matter, whether B is human or non-human, a collective or an individual. Neither does it say anything about B’s status as, an actor. B might be endowed with interests, projects, desires, strategies, reflexes, or afterthoughts. The decision is A’s – though this does not mean that A has total freedom. For how A acts depends on past translations. These may influence what follows to the point of determining them…All the entities and all the relationships between these entities should be described – for together they make up the translator.

Translation
Innovation can be traced by both its AND, or, OR positions that successively define it. It is impossible to move in any direction without paying a price in the AND, or, OR direction.

Mapping the Collective: Biophilia.
The 'work' represents neither the beginning nor the end of a particular event, but is described more as a continually shifting and cumulative series of distributed actions.

The Prototype

An actor is
“Any element which bends space around itself, makes other elements depend upon itself and translates their will into a language of its own. Before the elements dominated by an actor could escape in any direction, but now this is no longer possible. Instead of swarms of possibilities, we find lines of force, obligatory passage points, directions and deductions.”
Michel Callon and Bruno Latour

Goal Translation. The explosion in unintentional goals is a result of different combinations of actors interacting. One can never really know what is going to happen, because we can never really know all the elements activated in a given association or context beforehand.
