The light as medium reminds me of color. Without light there is no color. To the average person, color is color; whether there is light or not never crosses their mind.
If you're anything like me, I had to look a few things up: Somnambulism - sleepwalking; Narcissus - Greek Mythology, known for having fallen in love with his own reflection . . . "What you seek is nowhere; but turn yourself away, and the object of your love will be no more. That which you behold is but the shadow of a reflected form and has no substance of its own. With you it comes, with you it gostays, and it will go with you . . ." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 3.433)
Also, not quite sure I'm understanding the whole "lack of sequence" regarding the electric light. Sure there's a sequence or causality - just quicker. You have to turn a switch on or plug the cord into an outlet that will make something come on. I dunno, could be I've missed the whole point.
from page 12:
"That one thing follows another accounts for nothing. Nothing follows from the following, except change." --- can it get anymore confusing???
"If it works, it's obsolete." HUH????
from page 16:
"Accelerated media change as a kind of massacre of the innocents." --- I agree.
I'm very new at blogging, so if I wrote too much - sorry. :P
