The observers and the observed

The Society's paradox is deliberate: 'A Snake Person is a person who is not a human.' In these scrolls, this is permission to question a defining label. It does not deny anyone's humanity, dignity, or rights.

The observers began by studying beings they believed were unlike themselves. Their most difficult discovery was that the instruments of observation were made of the same habits.

This book stands on its own. Read its plates as relationships: each offers a capacity, a possible cost, and a question. No diagram can tell you who another person truly is.
