TP or NP? Trial balloon goes up

[Alex Colter]

I am not so sure that Mathematics is being satirized in AtD, I think
perhaps P. has, since he was a youngun, possessed a very real sort of
tension between a Mathematical or Thermodynamic World-View, and a more
romantic Byron-esque World-View... the anxiety between the two and the
various combats his Psyche engages produce a satirized portrait of Each
Hemisphere, Literary and Scientific... our P. is both Timothy Tox with his
Golem & Vaucanson with his Duck, both are, more often than not, invisible.
