Eigenvalues wrt Crystal Oscillations

[Bonnie Surfus (ENG)]

I am way out there with this, but first let me mention Judith Chamber's 
thoughts on Vheissu and other bomb parables.  Forgive my ignorance of 
names and titles, please.  

Apparently, written reports on the splitting of that atom include mention 
of the sight of it within the chamber--blue and green lights, dazzling.
Also, Einstein, in speaking of his relativity theory, makes ref. to 
"frozen energy."  also, if you beilieve novel involves the ongoing 
destruction of the goddess--and thus, the women who all seem to lack a 
powerful, even forceful and destructive nature (save those who do, in 
their most pathetic form), then many passages make more sense.

Vheissu's blue and green spider monkeys become more interesting--part. 
the one frozen under the ice that so terrifies Godolphin, who understands 
it as an evil we all know/possess.

Many ref. to things occurring in three's, trapezoidal shapes, etc., are 
ref. to the goddess, whose lower anatomy is stylized on found figurines 
as a simply triangle.  Hanne, the barmaid, finds this shape on a dish, it 
eventually "fissioned, and transferred like an overlay to each of her 
retinae" (91).  The stain will not go away.  Later, the scene in the 
theatre makes more clear the parable--see p. 93--"A man wearing blue 
spectacles hurries into the second box from the stage end of the 
corridor.  The red curtains, heavy velvet, swing to and fro, 
unsynchronized, after his passage.  The oscillation soon damps out 
because of the weight.  they hang still.  Ten minutes pass.  "
continue reading and see what you make of the following on that page.

w/ regard to oscillation, vectors and eigenvalues, could there be any 
relevance to this:  ""Two men turn the corner by the allegorical statue 
of Tragedy.  Their feet crush unicorns and peacocks that repeat 
diamond-fashion the entire length of the carpet.  . . ."
I'm thinking of the "matrix" you mentioned and the sugg. that these 
issues are all simple physics--crushed underfoot here?  Or handled 
disrespectfully?  The unicorns and peacocks, evoking myth and mystery--no 
more, as our knowledge of such adavances the bomb?

One more thing, as you read, consider the nickname for the bomb--"fat 
boy" ( I don't know if it was one word.)

Again, I don't want to re-type the whole episode, so please read it if 
you want this post to make any sense.  also, consider the chapter "She 
Hangs on the Western Wall," and "V. in love" as bomb parables, given 
thsse thoughts.

I found it all very interesting and never didi have a clue about Vheissu 
until now.  I hope I'm not just talking stuff everybody already knows.  
And if I am, well then, . . . er. . .sorry.
