+ + + + + +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?
