 "a stencil allows for repitition, reproduction if you insist. but, as we have 
 insisted, it is within that same structure that difference occurs. 
 stencilisation, which describes the construction of v., allows for a variety of 
 relationships between pieces of the text." (mchoul/wills: writing pynchon, 181)

  this interpretation points out that stencilisation is not only a mechanism of 
  historical standardization, but gives us, in its necessary "micro-diversity"  
 (another term from luhmannian systems theory), the chance to read these stories 
  poly-contexturally ... it's an open sculpture ...
