"... but now it turned out that the book, the text fails to reflect!" That is reflected, he reflected, but turns into gibberish! And to read it to another mirror! "That is a reflection of reality, given in the text and the secondary reflection in the mirror to be deciphered another mirror! And if you put two mirrors opposite each other, attaching to one of them a book, we get an endless string of readable and unreadable text. Reading and Nechten ".
