Assembled from 102 messages that mention Edison International across eight Enron mailboxes, Jul 2000 – Dec 2001. Every line below was read out of correspondence, and every line opens the message it came from.

Drag it, or use the arrow keys for one step at a time and Home and End for the ends. Durable facts accumulate; the ones that were only true for a while appear, then expire with a reason attached. The relationship itself changes once.

A brain that only keeps what is permanently true is a reference book, and it would have been no use to anyone at Enron in November 2001. A brain that keeps everything is the inbox again. The distinction that matters is not true versus false. It is durable versus current. A current fact carries what would end it. Sometimes the message gives a date and the page shows it; more often it gives only the condition, and the page says that instead of inventing a date the mail never stated.
