Summary
Machination is the manipulative power that comes to dominate the being of entities at the end of Western metaphysics when all entities, including human beings, are thought of as makeable and malleable through planning, manipulation, and calculation so that everything is from the outset pre-directed toward produceability (GA66:16).
