Attempting to make his critical reflection historical and chronological would therefore be as ridiculous and nonsensical as wanting to reconstruct a linear plot from his novelistic variations.

His indication points to nothing less than a leading over of the optically produced spectrum from its usual linear form, with two boundaries on either side, into a closed circular form, and of doing this by an adequate application - as yet undiscovered - of magnetic force.

Postmodern experience no longer conforms to the print-centered, phallocentric paradigm of a distanced, objectifying, linear, and perspectival vision.
