JM on "overlapping patterns"

Hello, List
Among the erudite explanations and discussion I got a wink from SKB on
"failed flights of fancy". Yes.
Since he seems to be reading at least five books simultaneously, I'd
like to suggest he follows the bit on Daedalus in ADA, where we find
several descriptions of such crashes ( including a nice link between
Van's tarantine-sail hoisted legs and a Pyrrhean victory traveling
headlong from Ada, to Stephen's quizz to his students of JJ's Ulyssses,
VN's lectures on same and Mascodagama).
There are also the jikkers ( I'm writing on a borrowed laptop and on
borrowed time, no chance to check spelling) and "overlapping patterns" -
these fly bt. Ada and Pale Fire, explicitly - with an interesting stop
by Dave Haan (unposted but that can be found in his entry at "Stochastic
Mark") bringing together folding Chinese boxes and butterflies (
fold/falten/Falter/German butterfly) and, perhaps, a bit of Moebius and
Escher too.
Nice demonstration of scholarly thoroughness in relation to Mary
McCarthy's corrected lines and Prospero's interventions.
