Summary

This chapter takes the Meditations to act out the jam in autodiegetic biography, 1. through synkrisis with the SHA M. A., 2. through the programmatic/prelusory relations of M1 with 2-12. In representation reticulated through the diplomatics of first-person self-promotion, concentrated absenting delivers strongly motivated presencing. This is a book that wears its status as a book but wears it thin.
