Codex of the Synapse: Folio D4.2
The Map Makes the World: Self-Actualizing History
As I
conduct my exploration and reconstruction of the Synapse, I am
haunted by the feeling that each fragment I uncover, rather than
having been long-buried, only in fact came into existence at the
moment I discovered it. It is all too easy. There are no dead-ends
in this labyrinth. Every line of inquiry, no matter how capricious,
dove-tails neatly with the rest of the structure. It is as if
the act of searching creates, rather than reveals, each
fragment. If this suspicion is correct, then my actions in compiling
the Codex of the Synapse are what bring the Synapse itself into
being. I find myself trapped in a self-actualizing history, in
which the chronicling of the events causes them happen, or more
accurately, causes them to have already happened.
