I am quite stunned! I just encountered your lovely shambling obra maestra here, and am taking it in.
So many points of reference, such subtle play among the myriad concepts and -- yes! -- conceits behind your story!
I promptly googled the Marvellettes' song, and the Wiki entry confirmed to me that you, sir, were onto a thing extraordinary -- Who knew Smokey Robinson had something that quirky (and uber-literate) in him?!
And my fave Umberto Eco !! Baudolino, no less! And puns a la Name of the Rose...
And the binary references -- the poetry of 2010 meets the music of the 1960s! A "2" [note to self: pun on "etude" for any Francophiles out there -- play with it on your own time -- on your own dime!] to conund with all the rationalities of ye olde 21st century!
And it gets worse: by chance, I tripped across your story on my BBerry shortly after awakening. I'm responding on it, even though the damned 2-letters-to-a-key thing complicates one's thought processes (it made "pun" into "pub," "sir" into "air,"fave" into "face"!).
Anyhow, great shit here, man! I will try to reconstruct your site on my laptop in a little while (coffee being my immediate need here...).
And there I'll hopefully recall why I titled this email "embedded" (beyond me simply still being abed).
How to reconnect? Ah, yes -- I friend you, and with a little lurk (that wasn't BBerry; that was my coffee-craving brain!) you'll add me back!
