NOTE

"We cannot say for certain that the bodies in the photograph are ours; they just reflect something that has transcended the observed world.
Opening the senses, disappearing into vision, and then emerging on the other shore of the sensation, this behavior of the observer is very similar to our own. Going through this process, an observer has used his mind to uncover the secret we have created."
RONG RONG AND INRI, TUI-TRANSFIGURATION, p. 208
