+> TREATISE ON LITERATURE AS "SPOOKY
+> ACTION FROM A DISTANCE"
+>
+> There is this thing called "spooky
+> action at a distance."  Einstein
+> mentioned it first I believe.  It
+> is about how two electrons can act
+> like they are right next to each
+> other although they are very far
+> away (lightyears even).  For a long
+> time this puzzled scientists until
+> someone (not Einstein) figured out
+> that maybe the universe is a
+> hologram or projection.  So what
+> appears to be very far apart in
+> the hologram might actually be
+> very close in the substrate
+> reality.
+>
+> I want to talk about this
+> effect in literature.  In literature
+> the writer writes words on a
+> substrate (paper) and later the
+> reader reads the same words off
+> the substrate.  Although the writer
+> and reader might be very far apart
+> from each other in time and space,
+> they experience the same effect
+> from reading the words.  Even the
+> writer reading his own words after
+> he has written them becomes a
+> reader and feels who he was at
+> that time, [like a ghost][].
+>
+> PROBLEMS:
+>
+> Maybe the substrate isn't
+> paper it's what the writing is
+> about.  [Where is the hologram][]?  Are
+> physics and literature comparable?
+> What if the universe isn't a
+> hologram what then?
