Thanks for the catch. How could I? I've no idea. It is not one of my regular sort of mistakes.
"I mean, why Vitruvius....why now???" Why not?
Somehow (you must know I have no idea, it was the intersection, or car wreck of a number of thoughts coming together at the time of writing, which made perfect sense then, but now I just like reading it for the pretty colors it makes on the ground when the sun shines through it), working backwards from the "gunslinger" series (which I never finished) I ended up with Vitruvius. This takes Zen and combines it with the oddities of the flag manifold to chart pop culture over two millennia (or is it millennium?) using a fictitious gun fighter's lost hand as the fulcrum to balance the whole thing across space-time and a as yet non-existent unified field theory. Basically a non-Euclidean description of the god particle (which I am still waiting for the LHC to find to justify the huge investment in what is the equivalent of a physic's circle jerk). But you know, it's that whole golden number/circle, Plank limit, natural repetition, proportion thingy (I love using thingy, it sounds so scientifical). Like how are bees able to convey, altitude, distance, and direction, in a dance that looks strangely as if based on five dimensional space with only five hundred brain cells to work with?
"along comes this bloke, erthona was his name (allegedly)" That's Sir Tharmas Erthona (and the Sir is just as real as the rest of the name!) to you, you breath minted fungus muncher!
Glad to see your back,
Dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
