Block coding textuality.... Returning to 'Walter Benjamin's Archive: Images, Texts, Signs' and particularly this schematic which is pure visual programming. 'Work on good prose has three steps: a musical phase when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven' ~ In One-Way Street, Walter Benjamin, 192

Is 192 the page age number, or is it missing a digit for a date?

uhm, I don't see the 'p192'. This diagram is taken from Benjamin's notebooks

What does the 192 at the end of the cast represent then?

Aha, thanks for noticing, it's missing an '8'. 1928 is the year the book was published.

I think the 8 at the end is missing, "One way street" was released in 1928. So it's not a page number. The quote Paul used is on page 41 in the book, but vary form edition to edition, not sure.
