Fractured Lineages
Notebooks demonstrate how meaning dissolves when alterations go unrecorded, each revision a ghostly echo reshaping what came before. This isn't destruction, but rather an acceptance of porous boundaries: authors and objects influence one another, blurring the line between intention and interpretation—a phenomenon explored by thinkers considering object-oriented ontologies. Consequently, our grasp of history depends not on finding a single source, but recognizing accumulated layers of attention across time. Legacies aren’t simply received; they are collaboratively composed through this ongoing exchange.
