First Principles of TxM6 Hyperfiction:

Transformed, multiple characters and plots (one function of hyperlinks)
connect place with person, character with conflict and the actual events of
1992 and 1993 with the fictional.

Inside this hyperfiction novel endings migrate into beginnings; characters
revise into new ones. Reading any individual section in TxM6 will not tell
"the story." Some individual parts may not even directly connect to what
seems at first, principal themes.

Each part is one uncut piece of a whole puzzle. Some scenes are painted in
black, gray, red or day-glow colors, and consist of disparate elements.
Included (partial list) in TxM6 are diaries, newspaper accounts, poetry and
the seemingly casual dialogue of the characters and narration of
principals.

When you read each part, chapter, section, poem, prose poem one by one, you
collect information like reading a newspaper, magazine, history book, or
book of poems. Gathering the parts, you will reach that moment when it all
comes together.

Once inside, you may discover ordinary truth, lies, or perhaps geodes
compounded with fool's gold.

Consider geodes. We never know what we will discover when we smash or cut
open 100 million year old maps to once molten and geological space eons
deep. There could be nothing inside the split rock, or we could discover
the unintended and sometimes artificial mirrors that enclose our
wonderfully perverse and unpredictable universe.

There is chance in hyperlinks. Once there you may or may not go back. Once
known -- you may change your mind and find a new way. One set of beliefs
may rapidly transform into another and then twist into a third or a fourth.
Nothing is certain. Without that risk, there is more of that boredom that
you really fear.
