Not

the
sheep
readers
are
led

the
world

OK
as
it
is
and
all
they
need
to
do
is
to
believe
in
it.

The goat readers however are not so sure, and peruse the narrator's remarks carefully, looking for contradictions, or other evidence that the whole thing is a hoax.

    The rabbit readers,        who were 
                     watching as the narrator wrote the theoretical 
            note, realise that the there is more to this than 
                             meets the eye but even they 
             are not sure what to believe        in this 
      virtual or 
                             literary existence 
                to which they are limited by 
       the 
       three             processes of 
                                       composition, by 
           handwriting, in print, or 
           
           on 
                             the 
                 internet. 
                 

So now it is time for the writer, the publisher, the critic, to join with their antecedents and their readers in opening the process to shared creation and shared reading as they give up their specialised roles for the unknown joys and pitfalls of joint participation on the internet, in a re-creation of the ficracopran universe perhaps, but certainly in acceptance of change in literary process.
The first thing to emerge now, as a practical consequence of ficracopran antecedents and possibilities, is the instantaneous naming and creation of the three virtual worlds, alpha, beta and gamma, and their addition to the alphaworld alpha, which already exists as a collective game, if not a yet an accepted form of reality, in internet of 1996.

The documentation of that event is as follows:

(insert the letters to Bernard re betaworld etc.)

At this point the narrator begins to intervene

and the presence of this document, if that is what it is, begins to influence the history events of which it reports.
