GR translation: dialectics, matrices, archetypes all need to connect

[Mike Jing]

P266.17-27   He finds that he has drifted as far as the Odeon, one of the
great world cafes, whose specialty is not listed anywhere—indeed has never
been pinned down. Lenin, Trotsky, James Joyce, Dr. Einstein all sat out at
these tables. Whatever it was they all had in common: whatever they’d come
to this vantage to score . . . perhaps it had to do with the people
somehow, with pedestrian mortality, restless crisscrossing of needs or
desperations in one fateful piece of street. . . dialectics, matrices,
archetypes all need to connect, once in a while, back to some of that
proletarian blood, to body odors and senseless screaming across a table, to
cheating and last hopes, or else all is dusty Dracularity, the West’s
ancient curse. . . .

What does "matrices" mean here?  I am only familiar with the word in the
mathematical sense.
