It should, of course, be understood that the interest Peat holds is primarily threefold: firstly as an attachment to Ourstory of the time and space; secondly, as the sole record of thought of Sapien 3.2; and thirdly, as one of only a few remaining results of the E CONART application to transform thought caught in the spike into novel form.
Students of Ourstory of this time and space will simply enhance their implacability in sealed comprehension; there are no discernable tremors to be experienced here. For beings, however, chanelled to record Sapien 3.2, this is a trove. This issue of the Sapien, though necessary for common purpose, is clumsy of thought, irrational, and sexually plagued: a redundant rutting dullard whose failure to grasp and accommodate the movement would be pitied, were it not for the knowledge that, for its kind, the movement should not and could not be assimiliated into its action and thought.
And yet, there are moments when it touches on the protofound themes – almost inexplicably: witness the dialogue between the Latin and the clone which ends with the following question: “Yeah, but what if they can clone consciousness?” We are in the realm of the unknown here. Could this be the genuine thought of the clone, or is it a manipulation, either by the E CONART application, or by the researchers at the Centre? It is without question that the E CONART application continually attempts to force themes awkwardly onto the thoughts in a generally risible attempt to give meaning and structure; therefore a vague, passing, barely conscious understanding could conceivably have been amplified by the application for narrative purposes.
