Harry Potter recovers from an explosion in the secret GCHQ Quantum computer
statiuon in Edzell to find that he has become the centre of a masonic ritual
to summon Gwionbach, the mythical Celtic hero who understands the pasrt present
and future simultaneously. He eventually realises that his claims to be Harry
Potter, formerly of Hogwarts, are not taken seriously in this universe because
he has become a subject of children's fiction. He shakes off his masonic
guards to link up with novelist Stewart Home who promises to 'write' him
back to his own universe. But soon Potter discovers that Home has a hidden
agenda to prove that Isaac Newton plagiarised the work of Liebnitz in his
exposition of calculus. Home is learning vast chunks of the writings of John
Toland, an obscure 18th century philosopher, and reciting them whilst in
a trance. Home believes that by doing this and inserting his own texts which
definitively implicate Newton in plagiarism he can induce Toland to 'write'
the new texts, merely leaving Home with the task of discovering the lost
works. Unfortunately this is so successful that Sir Christopher Wren, the
founder oif the Royal Society has then organised Freemasonry in an effort
to protect Newton from Home's sinister scheme. Potter cuts loose from Home
to link up with the London Psychogeographical Arkestra which is mounting a
seige on the 11th UK conference on the Foundation of Physics at the Philosophy
centre, Merton Street, Oxford.
1th UK Conference on the Findations of Psycho-Physics
Oxford, UK, Monday 9th – Friday 13th September, 2002.
Accommodation for the conference will be provided in a Campsite, Oxford, UK (which will be referred to as "Qubitt City"). Conference sessions will be in the streets and marketplace of Oxford Town. There will be a reception for conference participants on Tuesday evening.
The organizers
are H B and P M, under the auspices of Philosophy of Psycho-Physics beyond
Oxford. The conference is
supported by The Organisation
for the Most Pleasant and Successful Experiment in Time Travel and
by The British Union of
Time Travellers. Requests for information
about the conference or to be included on the mailing list should be sent
to P M.
The conference is intended for both psycho-physicists and psychogeographers who are interested in the findations of psycho-physics. Talks will be approximately 5 minutes long, including 30 minutes for questions. A list of currently registered participants is available here.
The conference is never full, since We have had to introduce some parallel realities to give us unlimited extra talks. At this point, not attendance with/without giving/receiving a talk is possible because we have no limitations of space and time in the multiverse we are using. We are waiting.
There will be no conference registration fee. Bring a tent, food and drink to share. .]
A registration form,
which should be returned by 14thAugust 1914, is
available in various formats: Word

In case of difficulties please contact P M.

Dear Peter,
Thanx for yr reply, we trust that your preperations are going well. We do not, however, see our ideas as postmodern in any way. We also feel there to be no need for the conference to ever be full (since we have full recourse to quantum mechanics), we have set up an alternative reality, namely that of the 1th UK Conference on the Findations of Psycho-Physics. See http://www.j12.org/pp/1thconference.html The 1th (Onthe pronounced "wunth") UK Conference on the Findations of Psycho-Physics will function as interference to the 11th UK Conference on the Foundations of Physics, with the aim of creating a state of entanglement.We are confident that u will find our plans agreeable. Please do let us know if u can squeeze one or two of our delegates into the 11th UK Conference on the Foundations of Physics, if not to give a presentation then simply to bear witness.
Yours for 'progress',
Luther Blisssett

Dear Luther,
I regret that the conference is full. We originally intended to have
42 talks, but we now have 54 speakers. The Triolectic method and Situlogy
are new to me, and from my brief web search I would probably be lynched
by most of the intended participants if I let you give a talk here, although
I hope there would be politeness towards you. I suppose there must be
better forums for ideas that seem clearly in the post-modern domain.
It's not worth much to you, but I personally think such ideas need not
be wrong and can be very helpful, but I have found that they take a
lot of getting used to, for physicists at least.
Best wishes,
Peter.

Dead sir,
ist too late to register to attend this conference?
we would like to launch the English edition of Asger Jorn's Of the Triolectic Method in its Applications in General Situlogy at this event, and also, if possible give a talk on Situlogy and Non Euclidean Geometry. Our party would consist of Fabian Tompsett, Luther Blissett and Asim Butt.
looking forward to your reply,
luther Blissett
