IMAGINABLE ITINERARY THROUGH THE PARTICULAR UNIVERSAL

• itinerary: a route; a plan for a journey → the accompanying paragraph can be interpreted as the route taken by the children as they return to HCE's tavern after their games in the previous chapter, but it is also the route taken by the mind through the Seven Liberal Arts (the Quadrivium, consisting of arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy, and the Trivium, consisting of grammar, logic and rhetoric) to HCE, representative of the nature of man → it may also refer to the geometry construction Kev and Dolph perform in the middle of this chapter. → It may also refer to the course of the river Liffey around Dublin, as described in the book's opening sentence; in FW, Dublin and the Liffey are representative of both the particular and universal city and river.

• particular ... universal: terms used in philosophy and logic to describe propositions: All men aremortal is a universal proposition, whereas Socrates is a man is a particular proposition
• The Sum Over All Possibilities: this right hand marginalia is evocative of Richard Feynman's Sum Over All Possibilities/Histories, where the path of of a quantum particle going from point A to B can take infinitely many paths, some more probable than others, but none to be excluded.
