"A reduced & somewhat modified version of an early selection from CARNIVAL, a random purpose construct at present of an unspecified size composed on a typewriter using a variety of stencils, carbons, overprints, et cetera, in both red & black type ( one thing i like to feel in these constructs is that i can brin the normally neglected mental and & physi- cal processes of composition to a concious concrete level). the total idea is for a phonetic semantic allegory, i start with the creation myth - God as the ultimate alphabetical source of A/Adam the first man & first letter. Adam crea- tion as an individual is simultaneous with his absorption into the matric of the word (the visual-phonetic square) & his genetic fall parallels his graphic descent from the purity of the letter as pure substance & pure volume thru the word & the semantic sense (represented in Eve & her theories of playful permutations evel, ever, etc) & finally into language itself. this takes us roughly to the present section: my conception of a wittgensteinian worl of game/ language & what (for me) are its two most important aspects, purposiveness (direction) & chance (randomness) which this section develops. line, punctuational paths, semantic con- nectives, are provided, some at random, some deliberately. the construct is approachable both as a concrete & a cogni- tive event which "becomes" when you enter into it, explore it, discovering both "it" & yourself as a responsive being."                             - Steve McCaffery
