Reich, in particular "The Mass Psychology of Fascism," permeates Pynchon.

p. 842 'notional railway".....Aerenthal.......see
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/boshtml/bos132.htm 
all still related to the Macedonian Question.....Russia very upset at 
Austria-Hungary's proposal......................
 
p.842 from "they boarded" thru that whole paragraph......all sacred places
bereft... and all gone from an "honorable" battlefiled..............
IS THIS A GOOD HAPPENING OR A BAD?.................
 
Cyprian has been changed..uncontrollable smile, no sarcasm and crying with
happiness...............all of his "character armor" as a leading
post-Freudian
has called it has dissolved. See below
 
Reich and Character Armor:
THE BODY'S OUTWARD APPEARANCE IS AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF WHAT'S HAPPENING
INSIDE, said Reich. There is a basic mistake in idea, "I think,...I am." You
can't change your thoughts at a basic level without change in your body, in
what you do. 
Reich wanted a full-body emotional response to life. If you cover yourself
up, may deaden pain, but also rob yourself of full joy. 
When someone inhibits an impulse they feel tension. Inhibited libido is
tense muscles, sexual charm is relaxed muscles.

Cyprian is one of Pynchon's mature character ideals, I daresay.
