Chapter 4: Cosmogram
Composite diegesis
- "the exotic": Ulmer, through Coleridge, refers to his hometown of Gainesville, FL as one of 4 sites composing the diegesis of "Xanadu" (98). What is exotic about the spaces we've lived in?
- On page 99, what is Ulmer doing when he jumps from Gainesville to karst to Bosnia-Herzegovina to Freud? Are detours important for completion of the Mystory, why or why not?
- Look for the "uncanny" moments.
Chora
- A place of meditation; Metaphors used in order to bring order out of chaos
- Theoretical invention: Greek -> Topos vs. Chora
Topos: fixed point of argumentation
Chora (choragraphy): space used as metaphor for places of invention. Adds identification with a specific location.
- Back to Stimmung
The Personal Sacred
- The revival of the choral space in electracy concerns a personal or private experience of the sacred rather than an official or collective version, i.e. what the 2nd assignment is asking us to do.
- Why "duck-rabbit"?
- "Seeing-as"?

Cosmogram
VERSUS
- Methodology: tune 3 or more discourses from the popcycle into a composite scene by finding a thread of whatever sort at whatever level of detail that runs through and crosses the boundaries of these different dimensions of experience.
- Repeating signifiers -> conceptually unrelated catergories -> Haiku logic
Memory Palace
- Widesite's foundation is a selective map of one's home places, occupied at significant locations by striking images drawn from the works of entertainment and history, used asssociately to recall the information related to the disciplinary problem on which one is working.
- Access to/of information
Domestic Altars
- Mystory is the practice that manages the resources generated by the search engines of the internet.
- Aesthetics of the altar -> accumulative nonlinear interconnectedness of hypermedia on the web.
Remake
- Mapping a chora
- Following a thread Versus following an argument or story
- Why Elvis? Who else?
- Exchange across levels of the mystory and among composers online
- Pidgin happens.
