Logomacy
Between logomachy and logomancy . . .

Since time immemorial, mankind has dreamed of being able to send thoughts racing through the ether, to land in someone’s head a half a world away. Today, through the miracle of modern technology called the “Internet,” that dream is a reality.

Thoughts form in my mind, are articulated in English, are then transcribed using the Roman alphabet, and recorded into a pattern of ones and zeros and affixed via magnetism to a platter; they are then transmitted to another platter, a hundred leagues or more hence, and from there they put a girdle on the Earth, emerging in a burst of phosphorescence to burn their way through your eyes and bury themselves in your brain where they will once more become a thought, the thought that you are having right now as you read this.

About Logomacy

“Logomacy” is a hapax legomenon–a word that occurs only once in the written record of a language. That occurrence is here on this blog. Technically since it’s the blog title and occurs in this section and again in this sentence, that would make it a tris legomenon, and if it appears in any trackbacks, well…you get the idea.
