THE AABBBEFHILORRTY

THE LIBRARY OF BABEL

Five hundred years ago, the chief of an upper hexagon came upon a book as confusing as the others, but which had nearly two pages of 相似的 lines. He showed his find to a wandering descifrador who told him the lines were writtenin Portuguese; others said they were Yiddish. Within a century, the language was established: un dialecto samoyedo-lituano del guaraní, with classical Arabian inflections. The content was also deciphered: some notions of combinative analysis, illustrated with examples of variations with 无限反复. These examples made it possible for a librarian of genius to discover la ley fundamental de la Biblioteca . This thinker observed that all the books, no matter how diverse they might be, are made up of the same elements: 空格,句点,逗点,二十二个字母。 He also alleged a fact which travelers have confirmed: No hay en la vasta Biblioteca, dos libros idénticos. From these two incontrovertible premises he deduced that the Library is total and that its shelves register 全部可能实现的组合 of the twenty-odd orthographical symbols (a number which, though extremely vast, is not infinito ): Everything: the minutely detailed history of the future, the archangels' autobiographies, 图书馆的准确的目录 ,thousands and thousands of false catalogues, the demonstration of the fallacy of those catalogues, the demonstration of the fallacy of the true catalogue, the Gnostic gospel of Basilides, the commentary on that gospel, the commentary on the commentary on that gospel, the true story of your death, the translation of every book in all languages, the interpolations of every book in all books.
