AI Interpretation
This handwritten page sketches Animal moving between two worlds through the sun, then adds a note about making that astral experience narrative and spoken.
The page reads like a compact cosmological key for the larger sequence. Its circles and world-to-world movement give Animal's journey a diagrammatic structure, while the lower note turns the abstraction back toward narration and voice.
A cosmological sketch for the title figure: 'Animal goes from one world / to Another,' he 'spins up in the cone - / through the sun - and out / on a journey to the other / world.' The geometry is then doubled - 'Two worlds spin exactly / equal' with 'the sun inbetween' - before a craft note breaks in: 'Suspention! Let it all be / Narrative - Let him speak / Speak the astral experience.' The page both diagrams Animal's transit and instructs that the diagram be voiced. This reading is provisional because the handwritten page sits in the 'mixed' OCR quality band.
