The uncertainty principle.
The observer changes the observation.
I was just now listening to "Music for Airports" as transcribed
for voices and instruments for an upcoming concert to be held at Alice Tully Hall.
The reconstruction had changed the music.
However, Jaron, if you read my inquiry, I was asking you,
"What about recording the algorithm as well as writing the code?"
Admittedly this falls to the creator and not the archivist,
but it gives the archivist the tools needed to reconstruct
the work of art.
