Abstract: The Dihedrons Gazelle-Dihedrals Zoom, though a complete and separate work, is the second book or pair of the prose work titled Floats Horse-Floats or Horse-Flows (Starcherone Books, 2010). The Dihedrons Gazelle-Dihedrals Zoom, in short chapters usually not more than a page or half page, was composed by process of alexia, word-blindness: unknown words were chosen by randomly leafing through Webster's Dictionary; these generate characters and events that cohere as a sci-fi novel in which the characters are apparently divided from their senses (said to be dysaphic, they are seemingly without tactile senses, without memory or seeing?though they are also said to see and touch); by virtue of this dysaphic quality they act to heal mind-body split visibly demonstrated by the dihedrons and the gazelle-dihedrals, humanlike creatures with structures opened to show their organs and muscles?who inhabit the emerald dark apparently either cyber or real space.^
