"…what he was trying to get across was not that he was the Soldier of a Power that was fighting across all of time to change history, but simply that we men were creatures with imaginations and it was our highest duty to try to tell what it was really like to live in other times and places and bodies.

for, in the cloak of knowledge,
one is warp and the other woof.”
— The princesses Rhyme and Reason
in The Phantom Tollbooth
"A core component in the construction
is a 3-dimensional vector space V over F2 ."
