The proximity of words to one another within text most definitely impacts how the universe of connotation will align with the reader. Imagine two sheets with a random scattering of holes; at first, there appears to be very little similarity between the two; however, as they are move on top of one another you cannot help but focus on the holes that remain. Juxtaposition is intermediary as it is not fully reversible; however, it is not defined by sequential order. Initial perceptions may change when introduced to new information, as long as those initial perceptions are so recent that they are not solidified. Similarly, initial perceptions influence how new information is interpreted. Juxtaposition is the connotative conductor of the fragment.
