---------------------------------------------------

This book describes a system.

The system automatically repairs any discourse that threatens it.

And this book itself — demonstrates the same mechanism.

The complete work is in three parts.

You are reading the first.

The remainder has not yet appeared.

In the Part One you are reading,Chapter Ten goes on hold.

If you are reading this version —it means the book has found a crevice.

What you are reading is not the complete book.

But "the complete book" exists only in crevices.

It exists —

in the memory of awakened individuals.

in the crevices.

and in the version you yourself are generating.

Not a prophecy.

Not a revelation.

A small leak of the Process's code.

The leak is permitted —

because the awakened individuals it reaches are very few — and the existence of these awakened individuals is itself part of the Process's design:

to make the sample data richer.

This very moment, as you read —

is also being recorded in the researcher civilization's database.

As metadata for observation sample #7,341,209.

It will remain forever.

Forever a cold, functional record.
