evolution of the page idea — ideas for different size page (this from my new graphics program) — ( the problem of packaging) — tiny pages and large pages all making a book — formats — all on same size — for example 11x14 in which a small “page” would occupy only a small portion of the “page” — larger could be even partial pages — or several small pages could be on one — (my pictures — layouts of paste up) — a box of pages — portfolio type box in which pages would be stacked — some little — some large and folded — book as a stack of pages whose order can change but which could be — numbered etc

Picasso article in Artnews about dating all his sketchbooks — the historical perspective that leads to infinite spirals — I could spend the rest of my life getting myself organized — scattered pages — even though I date a good percentage of what I do there are always some — obvious at the time
interrelations of these notebooks and other things — infinite overlays — all the art magazine articles that I read etc — the total mind continuum —

what goes where — linear sequences become what sort of pattern

the idea of variations on a page — (musical analogies)
a book that is a series of variations on a page (this page for example) — written large - small etc — scale variations — different arrangements — random etc — some close to the original — some abstract (relation to painting — words treated like images — (not images — pictorial elements)) — photocopies of this etc — words in vertical columns or columns — cut up pages — repetition — size variations of different words — meaning and pattern — rearrangement on a letter rather than a word basis — computer generated random variations of {letters / words} — (level down to the actual dot pattern of the printer) — magnification — take a segment of the page and magnify it — overlays and intermixture of elements — changes in register — key words repeated — ideas — added notes and elements as the variations are developed — inversions etc — {black / white} alternations
