( I predict this post will bring out commentary galore, maybe)
A few Plisters have focussed on P's attitude(s) to technology/technics/science, how ' agin it' in general P is. One lister--we know who you are, Monte--has made the bestest case for the concurrent " love" -and positive visions of technics, when science is understood in its most universal way-- that is also in P's work.
It has mostly convinced me at least,and an arrow ( even if a Zen arrow) is a piece of "aggressive "technology---but not just that, of course---with a positive use here in section five.
I offer the suggestion that an arrow is a human-sized example of technics--unlike the Rocket---and shows a half-latent (in GR )vision that small is beautiful, that the human size is, well, the "human" we have lost as History
Took its too--high step on the History is a Step-function aphorism of Pynchon.
