I have often wondered. If you read between the lines, you wind up with sublines. Can you then read between the sublines? Then between the subsublines, all the way to the quantum level beyond which one can read no further? And what would this smallest particle be called? As we use powerful participle accelerators to split the tome, breaking the forces that bind their components, we’ll find ourselves going from the subline to the readicle.

(I blame Abi for inspiring this pun.)

The smallest particles are the literon, and its anti-particle, the illiteron.

While the smallest particle for the text of a play is the histrion.

Which is why the science of theatre criticism is called histrionics.
