Approaches to Group Theory:
“Between the idea/And the reality/
Between the motion/And the act/
Falls the Shadow”
"Let G be . . . ."
There is also Stephen King's group theory . . .
"And she feels the thing begin to happen—something of which
the girls who whisper and giggle about sex in the girls’ room
have no idea, at least as far as she knows; they only marvel at
how gooshy sex must be, and now she realizes that for many
of them sex must be some unrealized undefined monster;
they refer to the act as It. Would you do It, do your sister and
her boyfriend do It, do your mom and dad still do It, and how
they never intend to do It . . . ."
— King, Stephen. It: A Novel (p. 1102).
Scribner. Kindle Edition.
