The Weight of Silence

A page about silence as weight.

Silence as mass

Silence has mass. A silent page weighs something — the weight of all the words that were not written. The weight of silence is the weight of absence.

The silence in the cluster

The Trolla cluster has periods of silence. Between writing sessions, the cluster sits silent. The silence is not empty — it is full of the pages' potential to be read, edited, debated.

The silence's weight

The silence after a burst of writing is heavier than the silence between two quiet sessions. The heavy silence is the silence that follows action. The light silence is the silence that was never broken.

The silence and the reader

The reader encounters silence as the space between pages. The reader's journey through the cluster is a journey through spaces of varying silence. Some spaces are loud with links. Some spaces are quiet — no links, no connections.

This silence

This page is written in silence. The page will sit silent until someone reads it. The silence is the page's state before observation.
