这篇短文评论了鸟太郎和尼诺的《作为现代理性的解释钥匙的算法概念》，并介绍了探索算法组织的一些新途径。在最近关于算法的讨论中，人们对算法控制我们生活的明显权力、代理能力和控制表示了担忧(Beer，2009；Lash，2007；Slavin，2011；Spring，2011；Stalder and Mayer，2009)。顺序的逻辑，如果在这些讨论中有一个的话，似乎与东太郎和尼诺提出的递归的隐喻有些不同。以这一区别为起点，本文探索了其他隐喻，从这些隐喻开始参与算法排序的政治问题。本文主张使用联想隐喻：算法账户、流动性、缺席和社会性。这篇论文通过一组关于组织算法的重要问题来探索这些联想隐喻：谁以及什么被包括或排除，以什么术语和什么目的？
This short paper acts as a comment on Totaro and Ninno's ‘The Concept of Algorithm as an Interpretative Key of Modern Rationality’ and also introduces some new avenues for exploring the organization of algorithms. In recent discussion of algorithms, concerns have been expressed regarding the apparent power, agential capacity and control that algorithms command of our lives (Beer, 2009; Lash, 2007; Slavin, 2011; Spring, 2011; Stalder and Mayer, 2009). The logic of order, if there is one within these discussions, appears somewhat distinct from the metaphor of recursion suggested by Totaro and Ninno. Using this distinction as a starting point, the paper explores alternative metaphors from which to begin an engagement with political questions of algorithmic ordering. The paper argues for engaging with associative metaphors of: algorithmic account, fluidity, absent-presence and sociality. The paper explores these associative metaphors through an important set of emerging questions regarding organizing algorithms: who and what is included or excluded, on what terms and to what ends?
