     Preverbal memory is the intuitive experience that is
the basis of our apprehension (knowledge) of time.  Given
this intuition, we construct from mementos, monuments,
texts, chronicles, oral reports, as seamless a texture of
events as we are able.  Yet, as soon as we make its
structure explicit, it falls apart, it disintegrates, into
sometimes incongruous fragments.

     This disintegration reveals clefts and interstices
which provide opportunities for new and different
construction.  The conventional seamless texture of time
imposes unwarranted, unproductive, sometimes
counterproductive restrictions on us and on our work.
