From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:
7 September 2023 Thursday
At night, I finished watching Arrival on Netflix:
Ian Donnelly: If you immerse yourself into a foreign language, then you can actually rewire your brain.
Louise Banks: Yeah, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It's the theory that the language you speak determines how you think and...
Ian Donnelly: Yeah, it affects how you see everything.
This reminds me of what it was like learning the 'language' of Piranesi's Ichnographia Campus Martius--a language of building plans and their Latin labels, different than learning a language of text. The language of Piranesi's final project is also largely a language of building plans, and only minimally a language of texts.
Louise Banks: The weapon is their language. They gave it all to us. Do you understand what that means?
Colonel Weber: So we can learn heptapod. If we survive.
Louise Banks: If you learn it, when you really learn it, you begin to perceive time the way that they do. So you can see what's to come. But time, it isn't the same for them. It's non-linear.

1963. Sunday, Cadaqués
"Very happy to receive your news and to hear that all progresses well for the project," replies Duchamp, who now has not only a letter but also a card posted in Hong Kong from the elusive Mr Hopps, to whom he and Richard Hamilton sent an SOS a month ago [3.8.1963].
To Hopps' request for some early works to add to the forthcoming exhibition in Pasadena [3.8.1963], Duchamp says that he cannot borrow anything from his sister, who is gravely ill, but will be able to send by air freight some framed drawings belonging to Roche's widow as soon as he returns to Paris. "I will bring myself one chess set," adds Duchamp, referring 'to his Pocket Chess Set [23.3.1944], "[which] I have just completed in Cadaqués."

1950. Thursday, Philadelphia/New York City
Visits Philadelphia to study the alternatives for installation of the Arensberg Collection in the museum, and has lunch with Fiske Kimball [30.8.1950]. On his return Marcel writes to Louise and Walter enclosing tracings he has made of the two solutions.
Marcel now prefers the first solution. He says to the Arensbergs "the next step is for you to see it", and Fiske Kimball is available to devote his time to them. "I, on the other hand, am going to Europe for a month," warns Marcel, who says he would like to be there when they come east. "My old friend Mary Reynolds [9.8.1950] is dying of uremia and her brother has asked me to go and see her... This was a great shock."
He asks the Arensbergs not to mention his trip to France: "As I am scared of the Parisian Crocodiles, I keep my going as mute as possible..."
