The text superimposed on the tape and translated below is Borelli?s perception of the tape.

?In ERSILIA, to establish the relationships that sustain the city?s life, the inhabitants stretch strings from the corners of the houses? When the strings became so numerous that you can no longer pass among them, the inhabitants leave: the houses are dismantled; only the strings and their supports remain. From a mountainside, ERSILIA?s refugees look at the labyrinth of taut strings and poles that rise in the plain. That is the city of ERSILIA still, and they are nothing.?
