R E M N A N T S . . .

...of B E Y O N D
What is left behind when everything the system allows has been erased.
revad David Riley
I am a black box, an abstract device evolved to hide the complexities within. Given the appropriate stimulus, I can be triggered to display a transient pop-up model of my inner self and disclose a little of what would otherwise remain secret.

R E M N A N T S
Everything is T R A N S I E N T.
Although the tools here at a-n (and in general on the world wide web) try very hard to make everything permanent, this is not the natural order.
Any impression of permanence is illusionary. The nature of the universe is for everything to return to the universe for reuse.
I have removed (from this blog) everything the a-n system allows me to delete. I could hide the rest by unpublishing it, but this does not release the storage space for reuse.
So here we have a new outcome based on everything that has gone before:
the R E M N A N T S .
NOTE. If you have been kind enough to comment, then your comments remain. I would be happy for you to delete them, but even if you do there will remain a note stating you have done so. I would also be very happy if you decide to leave them as part of this outcome. The choice is entirely yours.

It's not what WE think that matters. It's what YOU think. Do you feel the need for a fresh start?

Really Cool! Reminds me again of a painting I wanted to do but never did. I can imagine a whole paragraph or essay coded this way with bars and bars and bars of colour. My painting would just be bars and bars of colour but yours would have meaning behind it, I mean the literal translatable kind rather than the symbolic kind. Look forward to this development.

These are gorgeous! I love that they are in black and white. I'll say again, you are beginning to boggle my mind - no you have boggled it.

You're starting to boggle my mind! Your output is truly amazing, each new project (dare I say permutation) is as weighty and fulsome as the last. I have one question though, how do you see yourself in these works, beyond the black box? How do they reflect on you? Okay, that's two questions, but I'm trying to clarify my main enquiry of where you stand in relation to these and it is a difficult question to form. I love the jb! It could be coincidence it could be me, I don't know and that's why I love it.
