Etaoin Shridlu opened the book to where his thumbnail had randomly parted the pages and began reading from the center of the page but noticed something strange about the pattern of the rivulets of space around the words and soon had lost all comprehension of the literal meaning of the passage when a picture clearly asserted itself in the apparently meticulously intricate typing which was simultaneously a long unpunctuated nonsensical run on sentence and yet a photograph perfectly halftoned into dots shaped as letters of the alphabet no doubt generated by a cybernetic system that creates fractal branched sentences which never end but instead sort of parenthesize and go for a ways and then change course usually by going into detail in a tangential sort of stackpush that never pops but instead keeps zooming in yet another level each line or so like an infinite inwards motion that doesn’t even need punctuation and takes the reader on a one-way trip forwards into progressively refined images much like the incredible shrinking man or Fantastic Voyage except that it just keeps on going so actually the effect is more like the colored oilslick breakdowns in 2001 and if you could get the wave action of the text into just the right peristaltic contractions in sync with the eye and mind of the audience it could get pretty awesome like nanotech cities living on the bark of redwood trees in undulating valleys of forests on nonspherical fiberspace membranes extruded by femtopicotek nested-space 3.2-dimensional manifolds “bigger at the small end of the scale” provided you have senses which don’t peter out when things get subtle thus allowing you to encode information in the very borderlines of its very existence thus relying on the viewer’s idiosyncrasies more than on his common-ness because things which are on the edge of not being there at all are going to probably excite a set of simultaneous responses which don’t triangulate or intersect or agree or synergize in an unambiguated crisp singleness and are also somewhat partial and even flickering or dynamic or changing rapidly with time which requires their mind(s) to choose from a
bifurcating multiplexing divergence of (mildly) resonant rapidly-evolving attractors forming a ghostly community of evaporatory cooperative “temporary friends” sharing fleeting memories because a localized continuity of thought is maintained on more than one level (continued on next page)
