Yes and no, Otto, yes and no...
Which is why I thought "visitation" might be a good
term for this fellow's appearance. Consider, for a
moment, that this is St. Vincent, 100 years gone,
returning now for a chat. And what does the good
Father choose to speak of, salvation? heavenly angels?
No! Rather, Analytical Geometry- the very foundation
on which the calculus and modern analysis were built.
[700.18]
In an onset of Turning-Evil, Mason imagines
the Streets full of Row-Houses multiplying
like loaves and fishes, whirling past like spokes
of a Giant Wheel, whose convergence or Hub,
beyond some disputable Prelude to Radiance,
he cannot make out.
cf. {706.01]
As all History must converge...
Again, [705.08]
"...as the center of circle is invisible, yet with
Compasses and Straight-Edge may be found."
and Rev'd [721.07]
May we not, in the Domain of Zero to One Second
of Arc, find ways to measure even That Which we
cannot,- may not,- see?
and from GR, beginning with [722.22]- but I am positive
you know those lines by heart.
