Gets me thinking. Difraction Patterns. Pass some light, maybe from several
sources at different space coordinates of different colors, through your
favorite media. Anybody know an x-ray crystalographer? (I think that's the
word...). Create a scanning matrix with LDRs. Lots of polyphony would be
needed. Which further gets me thinking about the jewel-net doctrine of
indra. pears2.lib.ohio-state.edu/FULLTEXT/JR-PHIL/david.htm . There is of
course a problem in applying recursion to the definition of the process of
beholding.

I finally got to the toilet paper, but couldn't find the end of the roll.
I grabbed at the paper, clawing at it, but it felt like smoke. I
eventually managed to grab a fistful, and looking down at my hand, I
couldn't see anything, but I knew I had the paper. Somehow. I managed to
wipe, somehow, and while glancing down I noticed my legs had disappeared.
Oh, no, it's ok, there they are. No, they've gone again. How the fuck am I
supposed to wipe when my asshole keeps disappearing?
