Considering New-Method from Result
Seira Ito (a participant of "'Method' and 'New-Method'" lecture held by Hideki Nakazawa at Rikkyo univ.)

New-Method do not work for the result.

The word "result" reminds me of a battle in a Japanese comic series "JOJO's Bizzare Adventure" in its fifth chapter "VENTO AUREO - Golden Wind." In the scene, Diavolo, the boss of an Italian mafia, uses his dreadful Stand [the term for anthropomorphized supernatural power] called King Crimson in attack upon a character Bucharati, proudly declaring;

Results!
This world only remembers the results!
(Hirohiko Araki, "JOJO's Bizzare Adventure", Shueisha, 1998, vol.56, pp.58)

King Crimson is able to erase a few seconds and leave its results alone. It is only Diavolo who can [recognize and] control what happens during the negated time. The main character Giorno Giovana uses a totally opposite ability, which managed to defeat this apparently matchless ability of King Crimson. Awaken by mystic power of "the arrowhead" [the symbolic artifact that endows people with supernatural ability], his Stand called Gold Experience evolved to "Requiem," acquiring its own will and saying;

YOU NEVER REACH "TRUTH" IN REALITY!
(Ibid, 1999, vol.63, pp.102)

The ability of Requiem does not let "death" come true. Diavolo faces his death over and over again, but never ends up with true death given forever. While the ability of King Crimson leaves the result alone, Gold Experience "Requiem" does not permit the result to come into effect, of which the latter won.

New-Method do not give results. As if Gold Experience "Requiem" gave infinite death to Diavolo, New-Method give infinite Rock-Paper-Scissors to audience. With no victory given there, Rock-Paper-Scissors just goes on. Stuck in infinity just like Diavolo, people have nothing other than just watching them while wishing the game will eventually reach the truth.

Web works of New-Methodicists are posted on the bulletin "New-Method" every issue. A web works consists of a title and a web page to present the work. This work uses a URL itself to be a work under the title "URL at which a work is to be presented." In usual situation, the URL defined as a work should be linked to a webpage that presents a work. However, this work goes incoherent with the title "URL at which a work is to be presented" if a work appears on a webpage that is a work in itself, which would have resulted in "URL at which a work is presented." Hence, this work is sublated there.
