Re: World of Ends
Your piece stirred the silt of my subconscious. You shook loose a few other observations:
- The simplicity of the 'net is self-enforcing. When one of its ends forgets it's an end, the other ends and the 'net itself starve it into extinction.
- Number One makes the Internet the smartest technology yet created, despite the fact that it's stupid.
- The value of participation is built into the 'net itself. It's invited, in fact, by the stupidity of the structure. An end-bound entity's death begins when it forgets it's an "an" and begins to believe it's "the."
Thanks, Doc. Your piece puts the synapses in "full fire" mode.
