If the sine wave is the truth, it implies the potential of Stella’s endless replication, her regeneration. Would we maintain that Stella in the next wave is different from Stella in this one, when the entire flow of time in the universe is wrapped around the spindle of a cosmic zoetrope? No. No, we would acknowledge in the end that the way we have thought of ourselves is flawed: that we are not singular or temporary, but amnesically recurrent in the most glorious way—and if that were so, then this would be a shortcut, a hack, and Stella would come back a little early, to be with me.
