Hal ghost-inscribes the Eschaton rules from memory (eidetic recall confirmed)
texture · YDAU, Eschaton apparatus
- When: YDAU (2009); the dictation keyed to the Eschaton material
- What: In Pemulis's dictated Eschaton math-appendix, Hal is the one who will write it up: he "can just sit there making a steeple out of his fingers… not take notes and wait and like inscribe it anytime in the next week and get it verbatim, the smug turd." Hal interjects sardonic addenda ("Hal Incandenza's Addendum: In meters"). Confirms Hal's eidetic memory in practice (see event 49) and casts him as the Eschaton material's actual scribe within the Hal-Pemulis dynamic (see event 19, the YPW rulebook).
