VV(9) - The Apogee

[David Morris]

----------
(155)  Perhaps history this century, thought Eigenvalue, is rippled with 
gathers in its fabric such that if we are situated, as Stencil seemed to be, 
at the bottom of a fold, it's impossible to determine warp, woof or pattern 
anywhere else.
----------

Wrinkled fabric could be likened to a wavy surface.  To ride the crest (not 
to mention the tunnel) of the wave is what we'd all like.  It would mean 
mastery, control.  The crest is the apogee of the wave.  But waves crash.

This imagery resonates with GR parabola in which it's hidden corollary below 
the visible is strongly implied.  Above and below the visible on a wavy 
surface is a buffeted condition.  Below the surface, under the sea, would be 
more protected from the wind, but orbit from a position ABOVE the atmosphere 
might offer a better possibility.
