So Connection Machines are formed, making a point where it is just a 'mere' crossing, even though intersections of planes seen on edge, vast and intergalactic. BUT, there is always that 'point' to be made, literally (never mind that it folds in on itself, invaginated, complicated beyond belief, vanishing point but not the end -- THAT, my friends is too witchy. But then, isn't that the point? The gates are always opening and closing)
First Probe Head: Kant on that other monster Swedenborg, who cast his lot on the other side of the Crossing :
"Finally, it would not be at all strange to find the spirit-seer to be at the same time a dreamer, at least in regard to the mental pictures which he makes of his visions; because ideas, unknown to him by their very nature and incompatible with those of his bodily state, crowd in and drag into external sensation badly adjusted pictures, creating thereby wild chimeras and curiously distorted figures, which float in trailing garmets before the senses, deceiving them in spite of the fact that each chimeras may be based upon a true spiritual influence."
Immanuel Kant, Dreams of Spirit-Seer
