I’m not really replying to any of the recent comments but want to share this.
Arthur C. Clarke co-wrote the script and was writing his own version to be published as a novel, as his agreement and contract with Stanley Kubrick noted.
From Agel’s Making of 2001. (I’m quoting from Clarke: )
“The first version of the novel was handed to Stanley on the 24th of December, 1964, and he promptly fired me. True, I began work next day under a new contract, but I like to claim that I was sacked on Christmas Eve.”
Kubrick had a chance to edit Clarke’s article, adding such notations: ‘… the implication here is that you wrote novel alone.’ ‘Fired me is confusing. No one will know what you mean. It sounds like it was no good.’
Kubrick “purists” seem to want to distance Clarke’s contributions but I don’t see how this is possible. He was integral to the project. It’s just that Kubrick was visual and Clarke was a writer.
I see the same thing with fans of David Lynch that try to minimize the other partner of Mark Frost. For myself, I juxtapose both pairs as conjoined twins but with different perspectives but still creating the same projects.
In conclusion, both Kubrick and Clarke had their hands on the other’s work and they can’t be separated.
Getting back to the OP, the 1x4x9 comes up in 2010. Again, there is a gap between Kubrick’s fans (I’m one to be sure) and 2010, being that Kubrick wasn’t involved. The same goes for the harsh critics of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, which is my second favorite film behind 2OOI.
Nolan LOVES Kubrick and it’s shown in the multiple 2OOI Easter eggs. The robots are Monolith-shaped (I’m trying to keep in context of this OP). The name of TARS is an anagram of STAR. CASE doesn’t initially work until you study the 3rd robot of KIPP. Kip Thorne was the science advisor. Move the extra P to CASE and we get SPACE.
None of this was found by me.
Recently, I juxtaposed the 4D tessaract library with HAL’s “brain room,” as both contain storage of knowledge and information as memory. Can I “prove” this? No, just like my previous offer that I see things artistically.
Again, trying to keep to the OP (that’s open to interpretation lol), it’s been said that the Monolith was only viewed as a complete object in 3D. If you are “outside of Time,” then perhaps the Monolith has more to show of itself. Like being evolved enough to dig up the buried Monolith on the moon (clearly an Easter egg- and an “alarming” one), I’m thinking that the Star Child could see the Monolith in his “Nursery Room” in its full dimensions and that’s what he was reaching out to in his last moment as David Bowman. But maybe that’s just me and that’s okay.
The German word Gestalt comes to me.
