 The circle-motif, I think, is indeed central to both content and 
 structure of GR. Just think of the cyclic narrative technique of very 
 many of the episodes. I prefer calling it a "mandala structure", as it

 anyone be interested in hearing more on this very issue, I'd be glad to 
 provide the info.  >>


Steven Weisenburger's "Gravity's Rainbow Companion" deals with the mandala in
detail. It's much to complex to discuss here without any specific reference.
