"Pseudo‑events spawn other pseudo‑events in geometric progression. This is partly because every kind of pseudo\xad-event (being planned) tends to become ritualized, with a protocol and a rigidity all its own. As each type of pseudo-\xadevent acquires this rigidity, pressures arise to produce other, derivative, forms of pseudo‑event which are more fluid, more tantalizing, and more interestingly ambiguous."
