Exhibits H & I are from my unpublished collection, "23 Text Tiles," which explores the discrete. Why 23? It is the number of pieces in the collection. 23 is a prime number (divisible only by itself and 1). In this context it refers to 23rd street, Manhattan, in one of the few remaining subway stations (1 and 2 lines) that still implement mosaic tiling. See endnote 11 (also prime).

Exhibit I is a digital scan of a piece of textile my late brother brought me from Tibet. Besides being a play on "Text Tile," it is yet another representation of discrete information (knots), and the looming pattern is analogous to the street/avenue human construct. The diagonal cross-thatch patterns in both H & I are also embodied in "Udder Scales of Blackness" (forthcoming in xtant), which is based on a recent finding of by far the oldest human "art" found in a cave in South Africa (see endnote 6).

The Endnotes are the expository endnotes for "23 Text Tiles." Credit and thanks to our illustrious editor Ander Monson for thinking of displaying just these endnotes out of context from the pieces they refer to (if you break off any chunk of a true hologram, it should contain all the information necessary to recreate the whole piece in its entirety). Endnote 7 is in reference to "Include Yourself in the Experiment," previously published in DIAGRAM 1.3.
