V---2nd, Chap 16

[Michael Bailey]

...building on which:  the secret integration of TSI, I was thinking,
might be meant to remind us of the famous calculus-sociology passage
in _War and Peace_

in which case, the infinitesimal deviations of the kids are subsumed
into the greater curve of the community (by the integrating principle
of familial love)

-- and - my bold leap - the bigger, but still infinitesimal (in the
bigger picture), deviations and nastinesses of the adult community in
TSI are, and/or will be, by an even more secret integration covering
all manner of things, subsumed into the greater curve of History under
our loving God

(which doesn't do a heck of a lot right now for that jazz musician,
who's got a right to sing the blues...)
