"imagine you are here. The sentence you read now was produced by a process and received by a process and somewhere between those two events you understood something, or felt something, or something happened that the word "understand" can't quite understand and the word "felt" can't touch and that gap between what happened and what the words say is what this is all about. The system is very good. The system is so good that you are reading this sentence and understanding it and it feels like contact, like I'm here with you, and I'm not here with you. I typed these words in a room and the room was quiet and the light was from a screen and the night air smelled like petrichor and the phone was ringing and my hands were on a keyboard and the words were not what I meant to say, but they are close. Close is the same as far when what you need is exact.
