The focus was not on the content ; it centered on the writing process, and testing the claims of writing enthusiasts. Advocates of the pro-text camp championed the idea of asynchronous freedom. Some of them subscribed to an extraordinary notion: they argued if text could be passed down through generations, it should be possible for information to flow from the future to the past. Why only one way flow? Information was not a physical thing - bound by the rules of decay? They referred to this phenomenon as "divine information". The promise was divine information could be made accessible to everyone.
The idea had a circular logic: if someone were to read a book ten generations from now, they could theoretically reconstruct today's world in their minds. What if they could correct our current assumptions? Wouldn't that transform our own world? They believed text was a bridge to the continuum. More one wrote, better his chances of receiving assistance from one’s future self. Some even suggested the discipline of writing opened a portal in the human mind. Since all information always existed, the quest was merely to unlock the pathways within our minds.
