[...] there, where prediction is intended to be incontrovertible – as is the case in “episteme” and in the epistemic residues of modern science – prediction cancels out the becoming from which it seeks to defend – treating as unreal the danger against which it seeks to provide shelter – and it is therefore inevitable that the shelter itself will prove to be unreal and illusory.

If one believes that the danger exists, but prepares a shelter that makes one lose sight of the danger, the shelter is illusory. Sooner or later, it is dismantled by the danger in whose existence, despite everything, one has faith. If the epistemic evocation of the Immutables causes one to lose sight of becoming (making it impossible and apparent), it is inevitable that faith in the existence of becoming will unleash forces that escape the dominion of the Immutables and thus make it apparent and illusory.
