An incessant deferment calling on repetition or an investigational space that is always in the process of realignment, Posthumous Reckonings: A Cosmology of Infinitudes is a pause for the sensations to take effect; to materialize; and to ask: what is the nature of that which separates me from myself in the cosmology of the multiverse? Chaotic inflations or quantum subjectivities, equations queue-up at the edge of my known world waiting for the structures of feelings – of the imaginary – to make sense of this Universe ... And its Others. And if I am none other than a self-organized collection of sub-atomic particles hurtling in quantum time and space, sometimes forward other times backwards, then destinies may play witness if only for a little while, to the myriad of superpositions and decoherences leaking from my post-Newtonian parallel worlds.
