    About this ebook

    An Archaeology of the Fall addresses this question: Why is our current Lebenswelt not the same as “the Lebenswelt that we evolved in”. A hypothesis is presented in dramatic form. So are its fantastic implications.
    A discontinuity occurred in recent prehistory. The first singularity altered the way that humans represented their world in talk. Consequently, the evolution of talk differs from the evolution of language.
    The hypothesis comes to light in just about the same location where the first singularity occurred. The only difference is that the research platform floats meters above the ancient shoreline and lands occupied by the Ubaid culture in 5800 BC (or 0 Ubaid 0’).
    The hypothesis also comes to light in a family of academics. Ideas flow like wine. Ideas become intoxicating. Ideas produce hangovers. This explains why an instructor’s guide makes a good companion text. It serves as a designated driver.
    It points out that the characters can be wrong. It adds depth when the characters are correct. Plus, it introduces related scriptures, including Genesis, a letter by Paul to the Romans, and sura 5 of the Qur’an. Even though these scriptures are integrated into the storyline, they also speak for themselves. The instructor’s guide provides two ways to appreciate these scriptures.
    Finally, this instructor’s guide offers a structure for any literate adult interested in conducting a study group. An Archaeology of the Fall is a doorway to a new understanding of ourselves and our world. It forces each one of us to stand at the threshold and ask: Who am I?
    Welcome to Age of Semiotics.

      0684 These two chapters are a little vacation from the previous labors. Take them with ease.

      Sections 0218 through 0224

      A2a: What is happening?

      0685 Sarah(Helen) sleeps all afternoon, after spending all night awake. (Is Mom doing her work?)

      Fatima brings Sarah(Helen) dinner. Fatima wants to borrow Western clothes. Sarah says no, but Fatima is not upset.

      They talk about why Fatima is here. Fatima has her own speculations (and these upset the Professor(Dad)).

      P1a-3: What is the meaning?

      0686 Fatima came to bring Sarah(Helen) dinner. Sarah did not come to dinner in the mess tent. Fatima says that Mom is watching Jacob(Keller). Fatima calls Jacob Keller.

      At dinner in the mess tent, Dad asked Fatima why she was here. Her speculations did not put him at ease, because they were not to take care of Jacob.

      0687 There is intrigue. Since Fatima is the imam's wife-to-be, this is the Lieutenant's way to protect the research and satisfy the imam. Fatima's Grandfather(Lieutenant) is for the Americans but cannot appear so. Her husband-to-be(Imam) is against the Americans but will not act further as long as Fatima is there serving as a nurse.

      In short, by sending an attacker, the imam apparently gave the Lieutenant an opportunity to thwart the imam by allowing his grand-daughter to serve as a nurse for the research team and indirectly guaranteeing their safety.

      0688 The Lieutenant(Grandfather) got his opportunity when Mother called for help.

      Fatima does not love the imam.

      When Sarah presses her, Fatima finally says that she is there to take care of her brother.

      P1a-2: Who guarantees the meaning?

      0689 Fatima(Granddaughter of Lieutenant and Fiance of the Imam) does.

      P1a-1: What is the message?

      0690 Two strange things are going on.

      One is with Fatima herself. We have one strange clue. Fatima called Jacob Keller.

      The other concerns the political situation of Fatima coming to take care of Jacob. What Fatima says does not make sense on many levels. Why would the imam let the Lieutenant send her?

      We do not know enough to put this puzzle together, but we have several pieces.

      0691 Dad knows certain pieces because Fatima did not answer to help Jacob as she did, finally, to Sarah(Helen). In doing so, Fatima unwittingly confirmed the Professor(Dad)'s paranoid conclusions.

      NC3: Where is the speaker taking me?

      The conversation3a brings intrigue2a into the potential of Fatima's presence1a

      A2b: What do I feel about this place?

      I feel that the plot thickens.

      Sections 0225 through 0228

      A2a: What is happening?

      0692 Fatima(Helper) and Sarah(Helen) continue talking.

      P1a-3: What is the meaning?

      0693 Both the Professor(Dad) and Sarah(Helen) discover that the Lieutenant’s self-declared name, Jephthah, is false. To the Professor, this is enough to substantiate his conclusions. To Sarah, this leads to a Biblical reference. Sarah synopsizes the story of Jephthah, warrior of Gilead to Fatima.

      P1a-2: Who guarantees the meaning?

      0694 The Biblical text guarantees itself, and that guarantees the Lieutenant is up to something.

      Fatima and Sarah guarantee what they say. They are both expressing themselves plainly and honestly (which is why the seminar discussion went the way it did).

      P1a-1: What is the message?

      0695 The Lieutenant's false name was really a coded message, but we do not know what that message is.

      NC3: Where is the speaker taking me?

      0696 The conversation3a brings the Lieutenant's self-proclaimed name2a into relation with the potential of intrigue1a.

      A2b: What do I feel about this place?

      0697 The story is like Oedipus, Jephthah's success marked his doom. He succeeded on one level and failed on another, more meaningful, level.

      Will this also be the fate of Dad(Professor)'s research project?

      Section 0229 through 0231

      A2a: What is happening?

      0698 Fatima(Helper) tells Helen(Sarah) two things then leaves. Sarah(Helen) tries to go back to work, but goes back to sleep instead.

      P1a-3: What is the meaning?

      0699 Fatima(Helper) knows the childhood - private - names of Jacob and Sarah. Keller must have told her. But how?

      Fatima tells something of her own childhood. The Lieutenant's story fits Jephthah's tale, not precisely, but well enough. The Lieutenant feels responsible for his own daughter's, Fatima mother's, death.

      Fatima then tells Helen the answer to the challenge that Keller set out for her. This is a one sentence slogan for Keller's hypothesis.

      0700 How does Fatima(Helper) know this?

      Helen(Sarah) is left befuddled, but certain of one point: Mom knew the Jephthah story.

      P1a-2: Who guarantees the meaning?

      Weirdly, the Lieutenant (by the name that he called himself) and Keller (by the challenge he posed for Helen) guarantee what Fatima(Helper) said.

      P1a-1: What is the message?

      0701 The message is that Fatima is located at both the center of the Lieutenant's intrigue and of Keller's mysterious self-revelation.

      NC3: Where is the speaker taking me?

      0702 Fatima3a brings herself2a in relation to the potentials of both the Lieutenant's and Keller's intrigues1a.

      A2b: What do I feel about this place?

      0703 The doubling has returned.

      Again, the Lieutenant and Mom stand in contrast to the rest of the family.

      The Lieutenant is also the imam's double.

      Fatima is both Sarah's double and (somehow) Helen's double.

      The doubling goes to the core.

      Jacob (Fatima's patient) is Keller's (the person who Fatima is somehow talking to) double.

      Helen (the private sister of Keller) is Sarah's (the public daughter of the Professor and the Engineer) double.

      Fatima (the person who is talking to Keller) is the double of Fatima (the grand-daughter of the Lieutenant and the wife-to-be of the imam).

      Section 0232

      A2a: What is happening?

      0704 Helen(Sarah) remembers Mom's behavior when the Lieutenant introduced himself.

      Fatima enters the tent and falls over the tray with food. Helen wakes up.

      P1a-3: What is the meaning?

      0705 I am not sure of the meaning, but I have seen Helen(Sarah)'s rhetoric before (sections 110 and 111). It is more than exaggeration.

      0706 Something horribly biological is imputed: A presence that escaped from its petri dish? An amoeba? Oh, its Fatima.

      0707 Helen did not make it to the sorting tent as she intended. She slept with her shoes on.

      P1a-2: Who guarantees the meaning?

      Helen speaks for herself.

      P1a-1: What is the message?

      Everyone seems to be disoriented; out of joint. There is a presence.

      NC3: Where is the speaker taking me?

      0708 Fatima(Helper)3a brings wakefulness2a in relation to the potential of Helen both sleeping and not sleeping1a.

      A2b: What do I feel about this place?

      0709 I feel that Helen has not slept properly for the past few days, but now after sleeping, she may be even more disoriented.

      Sections 0233 through 0235

      A2a: What is happening?

      0710 Keller(Jacob) sent Fatima(Helper) to get Helen(Sarah). Helen goes with Fatima to Keller’s tent.

      Helper(Fatima) shows that the unconscious Jacob(Keller) responds to
