One of Pynchon's over-arching explorations is that of origins of
order/patterns/meaning in the universe.  Are they inherent (existent
apart from man, and "discovered" or "revealed"), or are they invented?
 Or both?  This is very much a religious question, and thus, I think,
ALL of Pynchon's novels are steeped in religious exploration.
