Dear <<empyreans>>, Kate,

This was so apropos, in being able to make the answer /yes/, that I 
would like to add it here, perhaps adding more questions, than any 
affirmation, since it is from a work in progress:

...we have abolished space and time, but there is always time in the 
scene and space for the action. Simply put, these are not elements of 
the outside. We have abolished certainty, but the advance in this regard 
is in the recognition of symbolism, the impressionism of a 
phenomenology, the mannerisms of existentialism and the genesis of 
representation.

Best,

Simon Taylor
