Of First and Last Noders During one of the recent 'database hiccups', while editing my node on implicate order in an attempt to further integrate my rather inadequate knowledge of David Bohm's "backwards in time" physics, I found the following fragment, under the heading "AmbientWave's Words to a Young Noder, Historical Souvenir Edition", along with much even less comprehensible material (apparently concerning something called the Edev Retro-Temporal Recovery Team) had been unaccountably inserted into the copy in my edit box. I was unable to recreate the circumstances which had caused this, and, fearing persecution and accusations of lunacy, had thought it wise to keep it quiet. However, my own noder's block, and the realisation that it's unlikely to be taken remotely seriously - not least, I conjecture, because throughout the entire text there is not a single mention of soy - these considerations have lead me to present it here, where it may serve, perhaps, as a dim warning of just one possibility among the many mysteries that the future holds.
