Publisher Marketing: TENET is a text-image artifact compiled from 100 nested tensors, multi-dimensional mesostic mosaics, “writ-10” in custom αlphanumeric source code by 10-tentacled antenna. TENET was not so much written as channeled from analog alien transmissions (namely the “10-itus” in the receiver’s otherwise deaf right ear), digitally decrypted + typed by the author’s 10 digits in the year 2025, where 2025 “equills” the sum of 10 digits squared, (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9) × (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9). As the matrices cycle in 10 increments of 10, they “decim8 + disentegr8 in2” recursive feedback loops skewed by the author’s number form synasthesia, into subversive fugue state subterfuge, decomposed into a sort of tactile braille “in-10-ded 2 B red” in multiple directions as if eyes are tentacular digits stereophonically projecting through the negative palindromic plates to render its own interpretation.
