the Concavity Cabinet: give it away — territory as exportable waste-resource

Experialism's doctrine in Tine's own words: the solution is to "give away the whole benighted smirch of ground," reconceiving territory itself as "a novel and pro-active resource" — the one thing the U.S. has "in spades." This is the theme's core inversion: land is no longer the nation's body but its surplus waste, a resource valuable precisely because you can export it. Statehood redefined as the capacity to shed ground.
