all these open labyrinths, public domain prime numbers. you can hide the
chesire cat but not its grin.
J.L. Borges writes about two labyrinths, one of them being a desert,
and Chuang-Tzu (Zhuangzi) uses the expression “hiding the world in the
world”1 – steganography as non-steganography.
1 But if you could hide the world in the world, so that there was
nowhere to which it could be removed, this would be the grand reality of
the ever-during Thing. –Book VI: Part I, Section VI, 6. Other
translations: i) You think you do right to hide little things in big
ones, and yet they get away from you. But if you were to hide the world
in the world, so that nothing could get away, this would be the final
reality of the constancy of things. ii) Hiding something small within
something larger might seem like the appropriate thing to do, yet
anything could still be carted off. If a man were to hide everything in
the world within the world, there would be no place left for anything to
be removed to. Living things are already constantly in this great
situation.
