The third rhythm of the piece is the Monstrous and the Parasitic. In shorthand the idea of the monstrous in the piece is tied to the Sponsors initially. But this is an error, the Monstrous is merely attached to the sponsors by the Agents, the actual Monsters are the Agents.
The parasitic follows the monstrous closely, but speaks to the relationship of the agents with their surroundings. The piece establishes a set of parasitic encounters with the audience, the one way use of data in Appreciation (The contributors being the host to the agents parasites), the mutual (interchangeable host/parasite) feeding in Repeat After Me, and (This occurs to me only now) the audience as parasitical in Nominees, to the Agent's Hosts.
An ancient rule of the law of England states the following: “a [human] monster in any part evidently bearing the resemblance of the brute creation, has no heritable blood and cannot be heir to any land, because it is not capable of inheriting.” The law circa 1930 defines a human monster as a person without external “human shape of mankind”, regardless of internal conformation.
