The Latest Spielberg Fantasy —
Disclosure Day: The Clown Chuckles

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , , — m759 @ 11:45 am

https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/disclosure-day-2026-transcript/

You have the gift but no control.

No understanding of your purpose.

Not a clue as to what your situation will demand of you beyond today.

The only way for you to acquire it is to go back to where it all began.

To go home.

And when you do, Margaret, you’ll know everything.

More than what was ever humanly possible.

They gifted each of you.

Margaret, what was dormant in you for most of your life was activated only yesterday.

And yours, 15 years ago.

They gave you fluency in the language in which the book of the universe is written: mathematics.

Taught it to you, imbued it so you could understand them.

And they imbued you so you could understand us.

It’s the two of you.

[chuckles]

It’s always been just the two of you.

[quiet, indistinct chatter]

You can direct it or feel where it wants to take you.

It can find what you’re looking for.

It’ll be an instrument of your will.

But you must give yourself over to it.

I prefer an earlier fantasy on this theme . . .
Many Dimensions, by Charles Williams (1931).

Obituaries for mystery authors
Ralph McInerny and Dick Francis

From the date (Jan. 29) of McInerny's death–

"…although a work of art 'is formed around something missing,' this 'void is its vanishing point, not its essence.'"

Harvard University Press on Persons and Things (Walpurgisnacht, 2008), by Barbara Johnson

From the date (Feb. 14) of Francis's death–

2x2x2 cube

The EIghtfold Cube

The "something missing" in the above figure is an eighth cube, hidden behind the others pictured.

This eighth cube is not, as Johnson would have it, a void and "vanishing point," but is instead the "still point" of T.S. Eliot. (See the epigraph to the chapter on automorphism groups in Parallelisms of Complete Designs, by Peter J. Cameron. See also related material in this journal.) The automorphism group here is of course the order-168 simple group of Felix Christian Klein.
