Leaves You Wanting Less

[Carvill, John]

"No one seems to have taken seriously the possibility,
to be explored in this essay, that his narrative style might in fact
be quadratic." 

- except us, on the p-list, plus several authors of mathematically-minded ATD articles, etc... The realisation that there is a lot of math in ATD, combined with the fact that the book often seems to exhibit an unexpectedly linear narrative structure (one episode falling into the next like dominos), the suggestion that there may well be some hidden structure(s), and, if so, that there may well be a mathematical basis for these structures, has been mentioned many times. Whether this article has anything to add, I don't know until I read it, obviously, but that opening statement is sorta spurious....
