Notes - The Butterfly Effect?/No Space-Time

        Late mid-morning. Chores. Breakfast and the paper. Chores. You are feeling good this morning, ready to meet what comes at you. Somewhat sunny out with a level of high, thin clouds which somewhat reflects your mood.

         This description of weather reflecting mood immediately reminds me of productions of Shakespeare’s MacBeth. People’s moods are sometimes reflected by the weather, a causal connection probably observed in most of nature one way or another. The witches had a connection too but today, at least in modern educated society people put that in the realm of fun superstition, imaginary entertainment in the mind to bring a sense of foreboding into a less than otherwise dramatic life. One might as well pay as sheorhe goes and hop on the nearby King’s Island rollercoaster, The Beast, and enjoy the ride for what it is. The real question is: Who controls the weather’s mood? The Greeks’ Four Winds, Boreas, Zephyrus, Eurus, and Notus. In a sense, taken out far enough as far as the books are concerned, this would be a function of the Betweener though it seems to me that is a mighty long way off. I suppose though, the elusive “Butterfly Effect” would then come into play. Over the centuries the developing of science into the branch quantum physics has added depth to Shakespeare like settings. We have, in our gathered knowledge of the last four centuries, new names for old concepts.

         Yet, reapplied, orndorff, this is exactly what is going on in the books, with the Butterfly Effect not coming from a Betweener because there is no need, you see, the Dead can supply it instead. Super efficiency and environmentally clean. Post. – Amorella.

         Pretty clever, Amorella. And, for me, enlightening. Your simplifying concept intrigues me. I like the ‘engineering’. Clean and simple on the outside although a bit human and messy when one sits in the middle of it. The birth of a thought. Very good, Amorella.

         Up tomorrow to see your cousin David S. in Massillon, Ohio. It has been a while and he has asked to see you. On the way you are dropping Carol off at her sister’s in Westerville. Busy day, but on the drive to and from you will have time to think. You wonder what is going on with the Dead in book four as compared with the Dead in book six. Merlyn, is he the only connection?

         This is where matters become interesting, old man. You will need to be in three places at once, Living presently, the Greek Dead then and the Dead in the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries. As you are the author with legality this can be done. Time does not exist, nor does space because this is an ‘in the mind’ setting. No standard physics here, boy. And, it is not strictly metaphysics either. We are dealing with the functions of thoughts as much as forms. Tense does not exist because this ‘three locations is at once’ and takes place in thought, quantum thought, if you will. You have experienced this before, at least once in the first three books, in a Grandma’s Story.

         I will have to search for the lines.

         Tomorrow night will do, orndorff. Time for bed. – Amorella.
