This reminds me of how one could utterly destroy the Library of Babel
simply by re-arranging the books on its shelves.
If the books where arranged by _alphabetical order of their contents_
on the shelves of the library, then the act of locating a book in the
library would be isomorphic to *writing* it, and so the library would
be utterly useless, as it would contain no information.
