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?
