an awakening (and a book in progress)

i+e homepage, version 1.2 (12 may 96) of the internet version (the intertext) of the book

starting points

from which all of the text can be reached on the internet, by one path or another, and to which I will add new pieces as I write

the chance sequence of starting points, which was determined by random number, is the most poetic or adventurous way to read the text, what I call the path of the rabbit (see 06 for descriptions of animal reading paths)

but if you prefer to follow the wise path of the sheep you may begin outside the chance sequence, from 00, 'the book of a village', a rational starting point , and thereafter perhaps follow 03, Utopia and Numeroso, or whatever other items seem to you most sensible

if you follow the intelligent path of the goat you may prefer to begin an overview at 01, the synopsis, and thereafter choose your own sequence, or cease reading to follow your own thoughts and write a different book

there is however no correct path as I am writing the text without idea of the whole, as blind journeys which can become variously connected in the act of reading - as you read you of course see further than I did, as you watch me writing - not so much a theory as a search
