the cover of Gödel ... just noted how the shadows echo the title — just noted as I was writing that the coincidence that I was just writing about shadows
need to copy the illustration in my book — or at least a description or refer people to the book — another book added to the list of books people should read to understand mine — many coincidences with mine — footnotes within footnotes — my ideas for a never ending footnote — reference to the idea if it hasn’t come already — don’t know what will come where in my book if it’s ever written — the temporal games in the swirl of a book about itself —

layers on layers

some things become clearer later
some things were clearer earlier —

the swirl of creation

legs itch — mosquitoes — the pull of the bed although I don’t feel tired any more waves of tiredness — shelves of books — glancing around room
a lot of junk — still want everything in place in this room at least — cover up and hide all the bits of junk
yawn — a wave of tiredness
shem and shawn — yawn and whoever — Joyce and God — electron position — the swirl of opposites — up and down — back and forth

1980-25 beauty and truth — top and bottom (quarks — a section i left out in the copy — perhaps should go in because it plays on quark and rhyming words — where i wrote “left out word plays” p468 — bare - bottom — sci am article — more references

petering out

<sexual pun>

another ending

the idea of resolution in music — false ending as described in Hofstadter
i don’t understand music at all — desire to break all the rules etc — desire to learn music to study Joyce
too many things to do
the way endings drag out in some music — Brahms for example
Brahms and Wagner
where did I begin — try to get back to the key — the keys to given
Gödel Escher Bach
the problem of dated material — my ideas for politics etc
too many ideas — not enough action — time for bed
another ending
fade out — echoes — the pulse of infinity
another page ending — the relationship of the unfinished book to these notes —
