Re: [-empyre-] C. S. Peirce and Code

Well Giselle, yes  I am reading a "page", maybe an electronic simulation -
but it is an analogue of a  page and without the analogue version I cannot
do what I am doing  as a learnt process. The machine of the book still
predominates in alphabetic writing and reading.

As to tracking, that I believe is a residual; art forms are tracks of
creative processes that is they are residuals of conscious sensations. Just
that with digital writing tools are far more accessible and essay to use,
similar to difference between piano and violin; the piano is more of a
machine and therefore produces results more quickly. The violin is more
archaic. 

It is an "E-MAIL" which you read - electronic mail: we still couldn't get
past the old paper envelope.
