I figure 'cuz it wouldn't be straight using a linear plot.

I wasn't really taken on seeing the plot, but since I posted
all those raw numbers, I started to write a Windows program.
Thus far, I butted heads with the Help system until I got my
first line to appear. Real data will follow after some days:

A co-worker said, "E-mail style?" Then "E-Style! I just coined that!"


The Pierce link led me to a wad of reading, I may digest later.
Start with this first url (then sim2,...) to a lecture series:

Great page! It suggests the art of writing is first, to obtain
a prophetic-style of insight, then to just report, not concoct.
Also reminds me that U.S.A. is as the fourth kingdom of Daniel.

So Pynchon is playing with our Piercian IT, the current notion
at forefront our conciousness? At first, the co-reference for
'them' would appear to be explosions. Later, it is the people.

What is his art that makes his contrived difficulty better
than this Jingrish that appeared on my computer yesterday:?

Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, mind on Pynchon?

These would seem to me to align the Elect with the ruling
majority, who assign the duty they are falling away from,
and the Preterite with the abject minority.
I would suggest oppositely, that the spiritual Elect are
numbered in the abject minority, the majority Preterite.

I was just speculating yesterday of God: a client-server model.
