'This Insubstantial Pageant'
Act 1V Scene 1: Prospero
"The cloud-capp'd towers,
the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples,
the great globe
itself,
Yea, all which it inherit,
shall dissolve
And like this insubstantial
pageant
faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
We are such stuff
As dreams are made on,
and our
little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Negative space is used as
a
metaphor
for Prospero's
musings
about the
nature
of our experience.
The hole in
a bead is what
makes
it a bead:-
making use of that.

Pronounced terminal
in 2007,
Diana refuses to comply.
She continues to investigate
the idea
that the brain,
currently one 6.68
billionth
of the universe, is engaged in
the act of the manifestation of
that universe.
