Paul N cites:...

 "the principles of Invisibilism, a school of modern architecture which
believed that the more 'rationally' a structure was designed, the less
visible would it appear, in extreme examples converging to its so-called
Penultimate Term--the step just before deliverance into the Invisible, or as
some preferred to say, 'into its own meta-structure', minimally attached to
the physical world."

I think this is as hilarious as Dr. Hilarious.......anyone else?

TRP, with an architecture joke, saying more about the results of rationality
in the world we have inherited?.....

I know next to nothing about architecture, but I have felt, amidst high, rectilinear
"modern' glass buildings that there is no "there there" as that phrase goes...
I can't say it about a Cathedral from centuries ago.....

and, in other ways we live?.....

"into its own meta-structure" sounds like postmodernism as a metaphor?
(or how I feel when it is suggested I sometimes overanalyze Pynchon. :-) 
Like now?)
