Firstly, Pence invokes a space force but has stolen the reader's time due to the necessity of having to listen to his message without being able to interrupt him from his podium. At this very point, we can see Theo's modus operandi in action, which relies on both time and space. As Derrida explains in Radical Atheism, the becoming-time of space is also the becoming-space of time. Even though Helen Waddell's approach to the space-time problem pales in comparison to say, Bergson's Triplicity of Flux (as Deleuze explains in his book, Bergsonism, on Einstein's creating a symbol for a fiction), it is common enough language to grasp:
'It is the theologians but not the poets who divide the undivided Trinity in the pot-houses of Paris. Urania and Nature cover their faces and worship before the mystery of the triple-shafted fire.'
(Waddell, Wandering Scholars)
Pence the theologian attempts to ground this theft of time by reifying space as he speaks, as the reader listens/reads. This is deceptive media. with the third dimension always already stolen away from its victims/scapegoats, though as Deleuze says "But I would never say what I write." Pence attempts a non-temporal unity, which is impossible. Derrida is saying that the act of writing itself produces spatiality, which is a profound idea (Of Grammatology).
What is The Fall?
We think Camus links guilt to historicity fairly well, Sartre's 'bad faith,' Kierkegaard's 'dread' :
