In abstract terms reality is measurement. Reality is constructed, like a building is constructed. The project is never done, or, when it is finally finished after some very long time, it simply collapses back into the ground from which the measurements are taken. In the purity of abstraction there are no words, only numbers.

In the impure human experience however, words and numbers co-exist, or, coincide. The story is constructed by writing/reading as the space within which the story unfolds is constructed by measurement; they are analogous processes. It is through words that images are realized.

Written words represent song as a "whole that is greater than the sum of its parts." A written text is a digital translation of sung poetry. It is the epic song upon which Plato declares war. The analog world is the intra-uterine world, the pre-historical world, the past, a contiuous world with no empty space of time. There is no experience of depth preception in the absence of written words and numbers. From analog to digital and back again. Is that how it goes?
