Brilliant look at the preservation paradox. Ponte's Bermuda Triangle framing captures something most archivists miss: its not just tehcnical obsolescence but the ontological problem of what even counts as the 'work.' I worked with an early net.art collective in the 2000s and watching our server-dependent pieces vanish felt like losing living organisms, not files. The Pessoa parallel is clever tho, how modular composition anticipates computational logic way before the tech existed.
