if you can make it through the prologue and the first 60 pages I think it's either getting more easily parsable or I'm just getting inculcated to it's insane deluge of Proper Nouns and Terms that I've never heard of and can't tell if they're real or fake.

Another wild thing are the multi-faceted notations - fictional notations from one of the characters that are marked page by page 'Infinite Jest'-style, and then seemingly purely nonfictional, philosophically dense but ultimately removed from the narrative spine explications of RN's theory in the back.

I've started approaching it as a sort of Codex Seraphinianus - completely unparseable but I'm pretty sure it's a masterwork.
