eieieiei!!!! great Jim you related seven points of emotional originators  
as it is your humor state, when manipulating the mouse, you would decide !!!!!
please begin for the point 1 and follow the sequence up to 7

	. . . point 3	
>The cat isn't so much after the mouse
>or the cheese as what's on the table, is it. The cheese is for the mouse.
>And what is on the table? Language, image. . .
go to the point 4

	. . . point 1
>I think we see something of aLe's "stereocena" in this piece. The cursors
>are offstage but available in a menu, and they fly through the rainbow rat
>door and land on the table. scenic in the way of theatre or cinema. What is
>the drama? . . .
go to the point 2
	
	. . . point 2
>The drama, as I interpreted it (independent of the magic flute), concerned
>the 'fate' of language, the globe, and referential clarity/multiplicity. The
>first two are worth mentioning, but it's the last part of the drama, the
>part about referential clarity/multiplicity that grabbed me. When the cursor
>multiplies in its image (and it does so in many ways) . . .
go to the point 3
	
	. . . point 4
>. . . But what is uncommon is the existential moment in which
>multiplicity of reference point concerning language and global matters finds
>its referent in the drama of the referent, the pointer, the reference point.
go to the point 5

	. . . point 6
>This was the 'narrative' I focussed on. Is 'narrative' the right word? No,
>'drama' is better for my interpretation, anyway. . .
> So I prefer 'drama' in this case, because, for me, The
>Magic Rat is a kind of philosophical/theatrical drama of existential
>reference in which the terms 'fantastic' and 'phenomenology' are not out of
>place. A cursor steps into a bar...well it needn't be a bar, but it has rats
>and cats and cheese and a table at which we are apparently sitting.
go to the point 7

	. . . point 5
>It also is a drama of control structures. This is part of the drama of the
>globe, but also the issue of control over the cursor. . . 
>. . . and we come to see that giving up
>control in some situations is where the drama begins.
go to the point 6

	. . . point 7
>Could they be philosophical mice? 
if it is you that is using the computer   
and your main instrument is the mouse  
it is you that will make the magics
	
>Interesting piece, aLe!
interesting relationship from you !
and a good lot of relationship of you with yours machine
	
great !
