Tem Noon is the manifestation of the "real" world, and the "fictional" world, thus the "semi-fiction. There is a notebook, and what is written in the notebook is the collective production of one Tem Noon, a common ideal imagined by two characters, one in a real world, the other in a fictional galaxy.
There may be people on Earth who appear in public as Tem Noon, playing music, reciting poetry, solving tricky technical problems, unravelling eternal mysteries in a few repeating phrases. Making a joke. Make up a story, in a notebook, about a world completely different than the one you may see on earth, in a galaxy where flashing across the galaxy at the speed of light, or careening through it in starcrafts is common. The funny thing is, sometimes you can say more about your own world, by describing someone else's.
And in that other world, there's this guy named Tag, who's writing about a guy named Ed, who lives on the planet Earth, which is a planet that's barely made it into space, but is on the threshhold...of outer space, or oblivion space. But maybe that's giving away too much of the plot.
Overall, the Earth story sounds more implausible to me. But I'm willing to suspend my disbelief long enough to walk around in their shoes. Because that's what we all get to do, eventually.
And we get to do it in two alternating places, what is real, and what is imaginary. That's how the universe moves ahead in time. Like breathing, we see what's real, then we imagine it away...or perhaps we imagine what is real, and then realize what we've imagined. It is a balance between Everything and Nothing.
