“Sir, we’re Federal
Agents investigating the disturbance across the street.”
“We’d like to ask you a few questions about the building and the people
in it.”
|
|
<<A question
is a form of commerce. You wish to acquire a portion of another’s reality.>>
|
|
“Um, yes, sir. Does
your reality include knowledge of anything unusual happening in the area,
over the last few days?”
|
|
<<In a chaotic
universe, “Usual” and “Unusual” are tricks of a biased memory.>>
|
|
“Be that as it may,
sir, do you have any knowledge about the events across the street?”
|
|
<<Within a
given reference, all matter and energy impacts eventually on all other matter.
To know one thing is to know all things to some degree.>>
|
|
"Yes, sir, the Hurricane
Butterfly theory. But do you have any information for us that would be more
to the point in our investigation?"
|
|
<<To gain
the answers you need requires a better understanding of the questions you
need to pose.>>
|
|
“We’ll take that as a no.”
“Thank you for your time, sir.”
|
|
“Well, that was unusual.”
“What, an uncooperative witness?”
“No, his accent. Where do you think he’s from?”
|
|
“We’re just down from the UN. Maybe he’s a diplomat.”
“Yeah, but from where?”
|
|
<<France. We
are from France. >>
<<Consume mass quantities.>>
