[silence] Cage Reference Sought

[Glenn Freeman]

thanks caleb.

so far it seems the only words cage himself wrote down (not including  
the written manuscripts) in regard to "eighty" was to describe what  
happens as "a unison of differences". is there anything else in regard  
to this work or eighty-three that cage himself wrote about?
