NP | ZK translation: the open prose of a third-person voice

[Mike Jing]

P272.5-11   I think of Artis in the capsule and try to imagine, against my
firm belief, that she is able to experience a minimal consciousness. I
think of her in a state of virgin solitude. No stimulus, no human activity
to incite response, barest trace of memory. Then I try to imagine an inner
monologue, hers, self-generated, possibly nonstop, the open prose of a
third-person voice that is also her voice, a form of chant in a single low
tone.

What is "open prose"?
