本文嘗試以「媒介特異性」為視角對GitHub平臺上的996.ICU項目的代碼過程進行分析。作為一次典型而又罕見的代碼從後臺走到前臺，從僅作為「技術結構」而變為觸動「制度規則」的行動，本文在分析其物質性─包括物理基礎、行動策略、敘事體驗之外，強調這一過程的社會性，即在價值觀念、社會規則和複數物基中技術與社會的維度性。代碼的物質性和維度性促使我們去反思作為協商性複合空間的代碼過程，並以此推進對媒介特異性分析的理論框架、數位元媒介的深層結構與社會意義的理解。

This paper attempts to analyze the code processes of the 996.ICU project on GitHub platform from the perspective of ＂media specificity.＂ It is rare to find a typical case to observe fundamental machine language as a technical structure emerging to change the rules of the system. Besides analyzing the materiality of this machine language, including physical affordance, action strategy, and narrative experience, this article highlights the sociality of these processes, including the mutual construction of technology and society in values, social rules, and multiple physical presences. The materiality and dimensionality of code encourage us to reflect on the processes as some consultative composite space and thus promote understanding of the theoretical framework of media-specific analysis (MSA), the deep structure of digital media and its social significance.
