The three first versions of “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” published in 1940 and 1941 undergo small modifications until the text is finally established. The key to these changes lies in the beginning of the “Postscript - 1947”, anachronistic and anticipatory in 1940-1941 but by the end of 1947 an indistinguishable part of the fantastic historicity of the whole story. “Tlön” thus carries a changing and misleading bibliographical self-reference which puts its reading in abyss. In the cosmos of Tlön “a book that does not contain its counter-book is considered incomplete”. Borges’ story contains its own meta-story: it quotes itself as if it were another, adding a supplement where the imagined reality in the previous text invades that of the reading, de-realizing it as the Tlönian phantasmagoria becomes real. A thirdness is installed above the usual and well-known options of the present, destabilizing them. It was written: we are facing Orbis Tertius. En sus tres primeras versiones publicadas en 1940 y 1941, “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” experimenta pequeñas modificaciones hasta que su texto se fija definitivamente. La clave de esos cambios se encuentra en el comienzo de la “Posdata de 1947”, que entonces resultaba anacrónica y anticipatoria, y que pasado el año de referencia se incorpora sin conflicto aparente a la historicidad fantástica del resto del cuento. “Tlön” porta así, en su interior, una autorreferencia bibliográfica cambiante y engañosa que pone en abismo su lectura. En el cosmos de Tlön, “Un libro que no encierra su contralibro es considerado incompleto”. El cuento que lo narra encierra su metacuento: se cita a sí mismo como si fuera otro e introduce un suplemento donde la realidad imaginada en su texto central, previo a la posdata, invade la de la lectura, desrealizándola en la misma medida en que la fantasmagoría de Tlön se hace real. En las opciones consabidas del presente de la escritura instala una terceridad, anunciada en su título, que las desestabiliza: Orbis Tertius.
