5/9

gradually working on book notes — my book is so complicated I can’t figure it out — possibly it may be the reverse of someone like Joyce or Barth who make books that are difficult for the reader — possibly mine may be much more difficult to put together than to read

possibilities for the space of a book — a spatial book
the wall layout — someone moves along a wall like a large painting that one sees as a pattern and possibly some — words written large from a distance some that one has to look at very closely to be read — 3 or 4 print sizes
use of lines
use of text that runs the entire width of the work so that one would have to traverse the entire work to read it
others in blocks — horizontal and vertical lists — Rosenquist’s large paintings come to mind — possibly some text that one would have to squat or bend down to read — some that couldn’t be read without a ladder — possibly a scroll work but not continuous as in an oriental work or a scroll text — some word lines could be but other individual blocks of text would coexist

so that one would have to follow several lines or go back over to follow different lines — possibly use the same text in different formats
a chapter on possibilities of the book form
what do I do with these notes
these books
these pages — do I integrate the new notes into the reflections structure or disintegrate the entire set into pages which could then be restructured or reconstructed into reflection
refractions or
reverberations

the visual aspect of musical scores and cetera — Bauhaus book p 82 — Terrell ideas — to make graphic work in the form of a score
