Using data from a 1966 behavioral experiment testing the influence of the perception of time categories on individual behavior, The Relation Papers presents a fictional vision of two characters - The Simulating Subject and The Hypnotized Subject - as they undergo questioning at the hands of The Experimenter, his Confederate, and an Outside Observer.
The work is meant to explore the combination of an existing structure with fiction so that the arrangement of fragments would retain the internal direction and logic of the information, yet be deliberate, subjective, with the quality of a fever dream.
