In language, the singularity of an experience always spatially differentiated and temporally differed to an ever multiplying network of differences. In the apple universe, the apple is identifiable as it's 'universe' has the appel-nonapple spatial difference, but completely eludes description outside of the apple/non-apple binary because it cannot temporally differ it's singularity to a system of conceptual difference (not-square,not-cone,not-shiney etc).
Language is founded upon the difference between signs and signified's. We can only learn to identify 'red' by being told what red is, and more importantly, what red is not.
Thus in order to identify an interpretation as an interpretation, you immediately create 'difference' outside of your interpretation that allows it to be labelled as an interpretation as such, and thus creates the conceptual space for new interpretations. So by interperating a text you don't nihilate the possibility for different interpretations; by recognizing it as an interpretation you actually open an abyss for an infinite spectra of different interpretations and perspectives. Whether you go play in that abyss is a different matter all together.
