Years ago i discerned apattern in V altho not mathematical that was chesslike
or gamelike with three types of V's.  The first is the lateral or planar V as
in two lines that converge at a vanishing point (or not...) which becomes the
ground or 'chessboard'of the action. See last line paragraph one. The second
is an upside down V often represented by characters with the letter M
representing the masculine dual or split character like Melanie impaled
during the ballet.  The right side up V and characters with that initial are
feminine ideals in the classic western sense.  The problem with this
chessboard and the game being played is that the classic space keeps
collapsing and the objects of the quests vanish.  

I would be curious to see if anyone thinks the gamelike structure holds and
if it is continued in GR with the spatial configuations of the parabola and
ellipse.  The curve is introduced at the end of V as a segueway:

 "It made him even sadder: as if all his homes were temporary and even they,
inanimate,still wandering as he: for motion is relative, and hadn't he, now,
really stood there still on the sea like  a schlemihl Redeemer while that
enormous malingering city and its one livable inner space and unconnable
(therefore hi-value) girl had slid away from him over a great horizen's curve
comprising, from his vantage, at once, at least one century's worth of
wavelets?" (Vp.427) 

More V anyone? Ellen
