Last week in pictures

Ada is almost like an anti-house of leaves, it's footnotes being written by the same people as the main narrative (in a way I'd include the notes at the end in that but that's on a different level) constantly trying to clarify and almost neurotically wanting to document their life, to really archive it statically. Neurotic because they don't want to be misunderstood and will spend pages ensuring that they aren't, except that they have created this language of references that, as much as van tries to translate them for an audience, is so incomprehensible that what should be straightforward is so dense with misunderstandings (or opportunities for misunderstandings at least). They're so stuck in their own language they don't seem to realise it's alien (and also they're working with references we don't even have to begin with, but that's more meta than what van himself is doing)
