Quantum Writing
March 16, 2006
Ambiguities, puns, ambigrams, palindromes and hyperlinks are all likened by Christy Dena to quantum writing, in her post, Quantum Writing, on the WRT blog. The idea is that there are legitimate reasons for writers to deliberately choose not to pin down just one precise meaning in their use of a word or figure of speech. Good writers can deliberately choose to use words to invoke multiple potential meanings. Just as quantum particles don’t exist in simple locations in physical space, words don’t necessarily have simple locations in the noosphere of symbolic space.
