Semiotic Defence Shield

...without thinking for too long, Nox pulled out the semiotic defence shield from behind his bosom, and set himself up for maximum resistance to alternative cognitive models. Streams of data attempting to break his prior were twitching like flexible snakes. He, however, stood steadfastly against the facts of the hostile world-pictures. He did not try to contradict or to show inconsistencies in terms of projections onto his logic. He knew how double-edged the sword of gnoseological deconstruction could be. A picture of his fallen comrades flashed before his eyes. They were trying to convince the enemy of their reasons in the direct fight of dialectics. He has already seen too much to allow any deviations from the model. When the enemy stopped firing the germs of doubt for a moment, without hesitation Nox punched him with a fist straight into the stupid snout.
