• Fourstone Parable

  “Wherefore let it hardly… be…
  thought that the prisoner… was at his best a onestone
  parable… for… pathetically few… cared… to doubt… the
  canonicity of his existence as a tesseract.”

  – Finnegans Wake, page 100, abridged

  “… we have forgotten that we were angels and painted ourselves into a
  corner of resource extraction and commodification of ourselves.”

  – A discussion, in a draft of
      a paper (rtf) attributed
      to Josh Schultz,
      of the poem “Diamond”
      by Attila Jozsef

  Commodification of
  the name Cullinane:

  See the logos at
  cullinane.com,
  a design firm with
  the motto

  To adapt a phrase from
  Finnegans Wake, the
  “fourstone parable” below
  is an attempt to
  decommodify my name.

  Fourstone Parable:

  

  (See also yesterday’s “Logos.”
  The “communicate” logo is taken from
  an online library at Calvin College;

  the “connect” logo is a commonly

  available picture of a tesseract
  (Coxeter, Regular Polytopes, p. 123),
  and the other two logos
  are more or less original.)

  For a more elegant
  four-diamond figure, see
  Jung and the Imago Dei.
