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)
