Well, right angles anyway......as another of Pynchon's tropes involving Cartesian rationality......grids, linearity

(somewhere after p. 110)..." the present journey as being taken "at right angles to the flow of time"'''<br> 

the right angles that lead the cattle to the slaughterhouse.................

A-and another, at least. that I won't list that would be a spoiler for near the end of the book. 
(although if we are not so worried about spoilers anymore, since we have discussed the ending, I will)
