1. subtext reenactment - this is a bizarre idea of having an a secret place "beneath" the Encyclopedia Ichnographica. There would be a link under "subtext" and under "reenactment" to a place where the Campo Marzio is being reenacted in 3D using the existing model collection. Essentially, the construction will be an "analogous city" a la Canaletto's Capriccio and Aldo Rossi.
2. abstract model of the Villa Savoye
4. virtual Altes Museum

2. writing QA002 in a strict chronological order. This works great for breaking up the classic texts and the architectures and the neo legend as well. The ghost of Crispus party plays a big role, and furthers the neo legend. The paradigm shift was consummated at Helena's death--the conversion of the East was now to be continued by Constantine. Constantinople as true/pure Christian capital/Imperial City. Helena's last wish: e.g., "and please no more secrets." There can be truth in irrationality, eg, the death of Crispus because of schizophrenia. The architecture of Trier as precedent to the Romanesque. The architecture of Constantinople as precedent to the Byzantine. Exposition of the marriage of Constantine to Fausta.
3. There is now a big Philadelphia theme ahead for Quondam.
4. the reenactment theme is also beginning to brew.
5. the next sub-quondam is recombinant and it is there that play with the model collection occurs. With Damisch's (latest) history of museums of architecture*, there is a new empty stage upon which to now perform a new act.
8. Does the second state [of the Ichnographia Campus Martius] actually exist in reality? Where is it?

1. [turning into] some incompletely architectural museum; reenacting a virus and lots of publishing.
3. "The Death of Helena Augusta" as Sagacity 00. Writing as a Collingwoodian historian--already an experienced reenactor: 25 February, S. Croce model, July 28 no server/death?; Constantine's Vicennalia year in consecutive Eusebius chapters.

1. continue living within a mnemonic architecture consisting of 365.2422 rooms.
