I don’t know, I read it as more of a meditation on ‘writing out of range’, both literally as per language constructs, as you mentioned, and metaphorically, as in ‘we’re in the wild blue yonder of weird nowhere now.’

That said, I’m a newbie to Emacs, and I belatedly (after posting the link here) remembered reading something about ‘the point’ in Emacs:

“By default, the cursor in the selected window is drawn as a solid block and appears to be on a character, but you should think of point as between two characters; it is situated before the character under the cursor. ”[^1]

Which made me think maybe things are even weirder than the author thinks. :)
