An important note, for any understanding of Reynolds & Midway, and other poems

"Turner argues that in the time-models of contemporary cosmological 

and evolutionary science all times may be connected and time may be infinitely 

branched and causally looped so that both forward-in-time and backward-in-

time factors may be in operation in the same event. Thus, the fundamental 

substance of the universe may be information rather than matter or energy. 

The universe is more like a vast living organism than a vast machine."

 - from a 

review of Frederick Turner's book Natural Religion.

Will edit in the reviewer's name, when I know it.

**Please note I do not necessarily subscribe to this view, but find it a fascinating idea.
