About the Book

We are each an individual compilation of experiences that include episodes from the lives of others who have told us stories with which we empathize so that we weave significant parts of their experiences into our own and subsequently lose an immediate awareness of where their lives leave off and ours begin, something akin to how the physical world of subatomic particles, when we know the truth of a system, defies a clear understanding of where an object begins and ends, or how any given particle exists only virtually until it is detected by an experiencing system, remaining otherwise a mere waveform that extends itself across the universe. If this doesn´t make any sense, then you have grasped the essence of the argument.

About the Author

The author is an artist/writer living in postmodern seclusion in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Many things could be said of his life, none of which, taken in capsule form, like medicine, is true. (The body heals itself.) Complexity mocks description; simplicity sees its surface. Personal history defies all attempts to reveal itself, producing instead fictions requiring ongoing revision to extend. We are never the person people who see only one view of us think we are. In order to recognize a whole self, we have to see it from multiple (infinite?) points-of-view. This is the whole text. It is better to know nothing than too little; you can never know too much. Paradox exists as unity at the polar extremes where north/east turns into south/west. He writes because he thinks he has something to say. Then they ask him to say it in briefer form. If he could have, he would have.
