The "&" is prominent, and therefor attention must be paid. This is 
not a book about Mason "or" (though it exists in logic, no special 
symbol for "or" in English or probably any "natural language) Dixon. 
"And" is the way things build/accrete and form systems/relationships, 
a-and so there is our old friend "entropy" in that single, much 
informing character.
