Stranger Still

The first "pages" that contain visible inscriptions seem to be written over several moments, as if the "writer" actually read the first inscriptions, was not entirely satisfied with them then went back and commented on them. The commentary is a strange mix of fact and desire, as if the "writer" wished that the initial imprint would inspire something more. This particular move seems necessitated by a culture that still existed in the singularities of linear time, unable to cycle through the moments as we now do.

Our unfamiliarity with "Language" makes it pointless to try to decipher what the inscriptions actually try to "mean". But that is perhaps less important than realizing that our ancestors actually even bothered to inscribe, bothered with the redundant replication and duplication of thought. It must have been a strange thought indeed, if in fact this practice was widespread, for our Ancestors to come to grips with the notion that their "Languages" and their techonology of mimicking thought in "Writing" would one day be erased and not even properly retained in the Determined Consciousness. As strange, perhaps, as the belief that humans were defined by what once was called "bodies".
