Okay foax,
 
Extra Credit (based on a tenuous speculation that trying to understand TRP leads one to have (yet never like he did/does)
 
If we know" the map is not the territory" [not going to source; I'm not as thorough as Dave M. and I'm okay with that] then is having a map to go under the territory--the Sands---a way
of really entering the territory?....Is it a "progressive knotting-into' in that early GR phrase?
 
A-And this.......do those various depths, which can never seem to be found and suggest "another level of encryption" remind anyone of the coaches in M & D that are larger inside
and out?; to that vast hollow earth (also larger than the surface I believe???) in M & D.
 
Or is 'that other level of encryption" more a 'spiritual' allusion?...more of the UnNameable?
Or what does it remind you of?
