BLACK MIRROR

.
Schrödinger's g_d was
yesterday's headline.

It could just as well have been Black Light or Black Mirror or Jimi Hendrix' great triple negative wail from the abyss
(No sun coming through my windows, feel like I'm living at the bottom of a grave) Oh there ain't no light nowhere.

BLACK MIRROR: REFLECTIONS IN GLOBAL MUSICS (1918-1954) [more at Dust-To-Digital] has just arrived. It was ordered two weeks ago, before this sequence of posts was conceived.

Following yesterday's speculations, I have scanned it with the lid open, not with a black background overlaid, and not with a mirror to reflect the light, so the black background in the image (below) is a depiction of the absence of the scanner's emitted light. Continuing the empirical review, it has been scanned cocooned still in it's cellophane wrapper. The blue-white flares are the full light of the scanner reflected back. But wait, isn't that like a mirror-return?
