P's intentions? WAS Re: Walk this way

[Phaedra Kelly]

My vision of the text is text-as-fractal.  You look at it as a whole, and 
it's wonderfully complex.  You focus on a particular part, and its 
wonderfully complex.  You focus on a particular part of that, and it's 
wonderfully complex.  And so on, and so on.  And then, you switch back from 
level to level.  No center, no bottom, just an infinite complexity of 
meanings that in some way that I can't begin to understand rebounds upon 
itself.  Oh, and did I mention that the fractal was moving?  And that in 
some small way, you, the observer, changes the fractal?

Actually, that's not a bad way of thinking about the world in general.  Or 
one's life.  World-as-text, person-as-text.  The only reality being that 
corporations rule the world, that we have an idiot/mad man as president, and 
that the planet's resources are being depleted at an alarming, and perhaps 
fatal, rate.
