TP or NP? Trial balloon goes up

[David Morris]

My take on Pynchon's ambivalence re. Maths is, yet again, questioning
reality, especially dealing with measures of reality, questioning whether
men's systems of measure are  either discovery or invention of their
findings.  Are real numbers real? Does the dissection and categorization of
"nature's" parts change (invent) the reality we believe in.
