GRGR(16) sleigh 359.3 with M&D echoes

[Doug Millison]

359.3 "an enormous closed sleigh, big as a ferryboat, bedizened all over
with Victorian gingerbread--inside are decks and levels for each class of
passenger, velvet saloons, well-stocked galleys"

Pynchon returns to this sort of multi-leveled, many-chambered rolling
architecture in M&D:  "Our Coach is a late invention of the Jesuits, being,
to speak bluntly, a Conveyance, wherein the inside is quite noticeably
larger than the outside, though the fact cannot be appreciated until one is
inside." (M&D 354).

Any suggestions about what Pynchon is getting at here? Sounds like some
sort of mathematical puzzle, perhaps.
