Foucaultian pouvoir-savoir names processes not anchored in an intending subject.
Evidence
Pouvoir/savoir, then, is catachrestic in the way that all names of processes not anchored in the intending subject must be: lines of knowing constituting ways of doing and not doing, the lines themselves irregular clinamens from subindividual atomic systems—fields of force, archives of utterance. Inducing them is that moving field of shredded enonces or differential forces that cannot be constructed as objects of investigation. — Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean, The Spivak Reader, 1220
