The remainder annuls itself once it is everywhere

Evidence

Now we are faced with a much more original situation: not that of the pure and simple inversion and promotion of remainders, but that of an instability in every structure and every opposition that makes it so that there is no longer even a remainder, due to the fact that the remainder is everywhere, and by playing with the slash, it annuls itself as such. — Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation, 476
