Abstract
The contact and habit of Trl'n have disintegrated this world. Enchanted by its rigor, humanity forgets over and again that it is a rigor of chess masters, not of angels. Already the schools have been invaded by the (conjectural) primitive language of Tlon; already the teaching of its harmonious history (filled with moving episodes) has wiped out the one which governed in my childhood; already a fictitious past occupies in our memories the place of another, a past of which we know nothing with certainty-not even that it is false. -Jorge Luis Borges, Tion, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, trans. James E. Irby
