that particular example of "self reference" is a FOOTNOTE to my own
statement that processing and a personal desire for catharsis can "[obscure
and reduce] my intentions to trivia for private coveting or disclosure
through addendums." so the quote you use above IS THAT ADDENDUM stating a
content in that track which I feel is not apparent - just like you noted
after several listens. congratulations, i think you got it.
