##@&*/«^.. « giving, because of course there is « ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. no real geometry in the caves. you may .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. feel as if you are venturing into some ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. vast structure, but you are in fact .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. leaving any such thing at the entrance. ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. leaving physical tethers behind, ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. submitting to an inescapable darkness, .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. the world around you becomes more of a ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. manifestation of your mind, or a .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. collective mind, with a shape and a ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. direction and a taste. .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. inescapeable darkness, because if you .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. bring a candle or mount electrical ..^«/*&@##
###@&*/«^. lights, the walls only serves as .^«/*&@###
##@&*/«^.. markers to where the tiny spatial ..^«/*&@##

##@&*/«^.. like an inverted mandelbrot, the real ..^«/*&@##

###@&*/«^. that you make yourselves. they may be .^«/*&@###
