Wouldn't this make it so any story will always lack something to allow full agency? People will never fully be able to decide something on their own unless the story was being made right then and there. With prewritten stories, how close are we actually able to get it to full agency? How close can we get to the same type of agency explained at the beginning?

machine translation (Google):

But regardless of whether the Zettelkasten resulted in a book, a work, or a thought cloud with varying degrees of precipitation - it is always more than the whole whose parts it has collected. Because there are always other texts in it than those that emerged from it.

There's something romantic about the analogy of a zettelkasten with a thought cloud which may have varying degrees of precipitation.

Link to other analogies: - ruminant machines - the disappointment of porn - others?
