===P65 On the Gradual Manufacturing of Thoughts in Storage===

poetological - to do with the knowledge of creation? Don't have a dictionary right now

Konrad Gessner possible inventor of index cards

"the production of innovations is always based on the fortifi ed recombination of the existing."

Heinrich von Kliest midwifery of thought (On the Gradual Produc-tion of Thoughts Whilst Speaking 1805) borrowed from Kant

analects --- what is this?

Conversation creates ideas

The Text claims index cards are a valid substitute for the new connections and perspectives offered by a human in conversation. To me this implies the humans creativity is the same as the connections offered by the references; surprising, useful, inspiring, but also predetermined?

Index cards as "precise" "infallible", generally true compared to humans but a) has limits and b) has negative results as well as positive

Kliest - knowledge as a "condition" or state rather than a property

Recombinatory power comes from material nature of cards shuffling juxtaposing etc

"born from the spirit of sloth" index cards as laziness

Index cards as boredom
