    The document explores the nature of the author-reader relationship and how it is defined by time. It discusses how an author only exists when writing and a reader only exists when reading, as a text only comes into being through the act of reading. It also examines how reading and writing are processes, and how the author produces a work but is not the sole determinant of a text's meaning, which can be interpreted differently depending on the reader and is limited by the text itself.
