The possibilities of weapons had become so great that the mineral element became a part of the fluidity of fluid; with the exception of rock, all the Earth is part of the movement of the ocean, a mutation of physical territory, in fact the first type of 'disintegration' before the arrival of nuclear arms. In truth, the principle of arms has always been aimed at this deconstruction, first of man's body, of armor, then of the rampart built for his protection. Afterwards, the very conditions of the human habitat became the primary objectives of this destruction/destructuration.
