Late Pre-Eidetic: Yellow Layer
Items in this case were found
in an early twenty-first
century collective midden
called a “landfill.”
Note their leaves’ thinness
and distinctive yellow color,
diagnostic of uppermost strata
from pre-eidetic culture.
Magnified image of one line
shows “name,” “address” and
“telephone number.” First is
a form of entity-identifier,
second a physical location, and last
a communication-access thread
disambiguation. In other words,
a physical store of truenames.
(Patrons are reminded
that all these indices are expired
by one thousand years.)
Though shocking, such displays
were ubiquitous in pre-eidetic times
and form almost one-quarter
of an average midden’s contents
by weight. Their use is difficult
to fathom, though some advance
theories of mutual deterrence.
Next case, a rare find.
This metal tool was called a “pistol.”
It is ingeniously designed to project
metallic objects to short distances
repeatedly. Few entered middens.
Archaeologists theorize
it was a weapon meant to injure
persons in close proximity,
though why this should be necessary
given ubiquitous stores of truenames
is problematic.
These theorists claim
before humankind inhabited
panoptic-eidetic space,
it would have been impossible
to simply deathwish an unfriend
whose truename was known.
Research on this matter
continues.
