THE ATLAS OF THE REALITY TUNNEL

To Be or Not: An E-Prime Anthology

nature

The collected case for and against E-Prime, including the sharpest objections — that the copula is a scapegoat, that the discipline produces stilted prose, that "seems" smuggles the same crime back in.

The honest companion volume. This app's own E-Prime workbench takes several of its cautions directly from these objections.

Tehiru is a walk-in model of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and its kindred ways — built to be explored, not read. This page is a still frame of one node; the app is where it moves.
