Circumscribing gives bounds to the thing. With the bounds the thing does not stop; rather, from within them it begins to be what after production it will be. p 291
The quote above made me think the agency in "enframing," which is how technology positions the world in respect to man in a way. Enframing thus has a boundary or limit giving property which actually informs what the ideal "thing itself" will be.
As much as explaining natural phenomena was a way to order the world for us, it appears that technology which, at face value seems to suggest a way of actually controlling the order of the world to work for us, the enframing that technology does actually productively create meaning and inform the structure we see in our world.
