entering the field

as the name would suggest the reader is an avid reader and continues to read even as his thoughts are recorded by the device that produced these words. reading is his practice. as he writes he seeks to distance himself from the process so as to read not what he has written, but rather the act of writing itself. he reads the process of transcribing his thoughts into the written form. he begins by seeing the operation of his thoughts from a distance, seeing his desire to record, seeing this desire manifest in the impulses that travel through his hands and through this seeing, through these in sights he seeks to untangle the one who is doing the seeing from the one who is acting.

in an out of body. the reader finds himself in other dimensions where viewing the impulses that become words allows him to see that the words are actually entering his body directly through the pores of his skin. this is why the reader reads and leaves the writing to his hands. only they have anything close to the number of nerve endings required to communicate the multiplicity of sources the reader is receiving through the pores of his skin. so the hands write and the reader reads on, his readings leading him to a text that casts doubt on his decision to leave all the writing up to the hands. according to the current reading being received through the skin at the back of the left knee it may be necessary to allow the full body to write. this reading suggests that ever shortening cycles of writing and reading can allow the reader to reach a point where reading is writing, where the words entering the skin are transformed and broadcast back outward to other bodies at the very moment the enter.

this reading is followed by waves of read/write information that are simultaneously received and transmitted at a rate can only occur when consciousness exits the time/space continuum. back in the out of body the hands try to catch up...

"the hands try to catch up..."

the hands scratching letters into a piece of glass with a stick. the one who writes admiring their dedication rewards the hands by sending three hundred and thirty three thousand three hundred and thirty three beginnings through the pores of the reader who instantly rewrites and forwards the processed words to all bodies on his network. the hands keep scratching. fumbling around on the ground that supports the glass, they find a small stone. the reader admires their perseverance. with their new tool the hands make it clear that what they had been attempting to write with the stick was the letter "e". the one who writes takes a moment to share the joy of the hands in producing their first letter. the reader reads this joy, his empathetic experience of it is secondary to his pleasure at the function it serves in keeping the hands moving. the scratching continues.

even though the reader is now writing through the reading process and is producing vast texts in milliseconds he is still fascinated by the efforts of the hands as they record a small fraction of the information the reader is constantly processing. instinctively he feels he has much to learn from the hands...

much like men jumping of cliffs with feathered wings attached, these early images of attempts at full body writing are included as an historical curiosity
