there's a lot of chatter about how to think about follows.

"The Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges
is the the story that got me into Borges' work. it's an incredible work of fantasy that illuminates much about humanity by casting us into a strangely different universe, that of the infinite library of hexagonal rooms, each filled with books that contain seemingly random and non-repeating strings. the people aluded to in the story have different and illustrative takes on the situation.
I will not be the first person to compare the library to the world hashes. the world's bitcoin private keys are all printed in this library, the true identity of Satoshi is there, along with proof of the falsity of his true identity.
it is an even easier leap to apply the library to nostr. the whirl of hashes all mapping to meaningful information, it's the great book that explains the meaning of the library that some where searching for. there actually is meaning in there.
and like all bitcoin private keys, every note that can ever be composed is listed in the library.
a project that visualizes the library exists and is brilliant:
