From the Paper:

"This first paragraph may at first seem like a simple introduction, but a closer look will show that it includes all the issues that become the major points of the novel. Firstly, it includes that time is not a line, but a dimension. This suggests that time exists everywhere and is part of everything. Considering that time represents the past, this suggests that the past is also a part of everything. This first paragraph also refers to traveling backward in time and existing in two places at once."
