The pint drinker says to the others: “We are the strategists
in this venture. My work will be difficult to find. My
audience will use many tactics in their attempts to

that I will provide and they will know at once whether
they are in it or looking at it. Depending on their individual
histories in space I think that some will read the space
as an ellipse – thinking of the evolution of geometry
and of classicism, and others will focus on my three leaf
clover columns – recalling the columns of Alvar Aalto
and the social democracy they served. I’m not sure that
I am the strategist here. Maybe I’ve assembled a set of
tactical prompts.”

the never ending spiralling of Earth through this universe.
