what is it called?

Is it the greatest poem ever composed?

>An instrument used to gauge the movements of the stars, the armillary sphere is made up of a number of concentric rings of metal, and these rings correspond to the important meridians of the celestial sphere.
>The meridians of the poem’s armature correspond to these rings of the armillary-sphere.

>The 7-character segments of the armature can be read in any order, so long as the reader follows the 7-character quatrain form.
>That is, at the end of each 7-character segment, which corresponds to a poetic line, you encounter a junction of meridians and can choose which direction to go.
>You can begin anywhere, and the poem ends after four lines have been chosen.
>This generates 2848 possible poems.

>The poem opens a kind of meditative space in which thoughts appear out of emptiness and disappear back into that emptiness, and it produces the feel of profound psychological depths by its very form: many thoughts/poems coexisting simultaneously, blurring together as the mind follows its obsessions through their repeating variations.
