I assure you that I am not holding out....I am hoping that someone more
qualified can engage the matter, and that in unison we might make
progress....

But the short version of what I do understand is as follows.

Fugue state is an element of grand mal seizures, and involve the emergence
of a differentiated personality which takes "flight", literally.....A
prominent example would be Kaspar Hauser
http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/me/notes/kaspar-hauser.html

One problem with this angle is that, if relevant, it informs the
relationship between Shade and Kinbote in a fairly definitive way, and this,
in turn, creates a problem with respect to the "timing" of such a discussion
in the current read. I am fairly confident that I may be on the right
track - but I would love to hear some kind of challenge to my assumptions
from the assembled learned.....

I also must admit that I have been sending you such hints under the
assumption that you were in a related field.....

It is lonely out here in left field - a few moments with google ("charcot
fugue state") would bring anyone to the point where I am at.........and I
urge the bright lights to take a look at this angle and prod the discussion
along....

Furthermore, I must plead extenuating circumstances in my personal and
professional life which I had no way to anticipate when I joined those
arguing for this effort - I had visions of a summer devoted to Nab and my
golf game, and I've been screwed.......

And I type even more slowly than I think.....

I can appreciate your pique - but run with the plea for assistance, and
let's see what it yields...

love,
cfa
