MDDM: Chapter 48 "Yet, Geomancer, beware,-"

[s~Z]

>>>In the same way that "the notorious Wedge" harbours
"an Unseen World" which defies what "one may imagine almost
sensibly" is
happening in the social formation of the new colonies, this
"Geomancer", or
interpreter of the text's "meaning", needs to "beware" of the
other, perhaps
conflicting, forces and undercurrents driving the text which he or
she might
not be noticing.

But there're probably other ways of interpreting the term,
particularly in
regard to the alchemical imagery which figures throughout the
novel.<<<

An alchemist would agree with the first paragraph.
