  TN: A planarian is a kind of flatworm of the Turbellaria class. Planaria can, in fact, be cut into pieces, with each piece retaining the ability to regenerate into a complete organism.

  [←7 ]

  TN: Wolfgang Ernst Pauli (25th April, 1900–15th December, 1958) was an Austrian-born Swiss and American theoretical physicist and one of the pioneers of quantum physics. In 1945, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his ‘decisive contribution through his discovery of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle’.

  [←8 ]

  TN: All of this is a reference to quantum physics and the fascinating and conclusively proven aspects of what is generally termed ‘the double slit experiment’.

  [←9 ]

  TN: The rules and principles by which relativity and quantum physics respectively abide are in blatant contradiction with each other. Many physicists, including the late Stephen Hawking, have attempted to reconcile the two by striving to establish a so-called ‘theory of everything’. All efforts in this direction have, unfortunately, proved entirely fruitless. We do, therefore, inhabit an ‘impossible universe’.

  [←10 ]

  TN: The theory of the Included Middle, literally ‘the logic of the Included Third’ (position), is an idea proposed by Stéphane Lupasco in 1951 (in The Principle of Antagonism and the Logic of Energy). The notion pertains to physics and quantum mechanics and could also have wider applications in further domains such as information theory and computing, epistemology, and theories of consciousness. The Included Middle is a theory proposing that logic has a three-part structure, namely the position of asserting something, the negation of this assertion, and a third position that is neither or both.

  [←53 ]

  TN: Stoicism is, above all, a philosophy of personal ethics rooted in its own system of logic and views on the natural world. It states that from a social perspective, the path to happiness is found in the acceptance of the moment as it presents itself; this is achieved by not allowing ourselves to be controlled by our desire for pleasure or our fear of pain, by using our minds to understand the surrounding world and to play our role in nature’s plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

  [←54 ]

  TN: Karl Marx (5th May, 1818–14th March, 1883) was a German philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist.

Only ‘Gnosis’, meaning a special kind of knowledge that is acquired through spiritual awakening and direct communion with the Unknown God, can thus release the Spirit of man from its material prison.

  [←60 ]

  [←61 ]

  [←67 ]

  TN: Games and Men.

  [←68 ]

  TN: David Herbert Lawrence (11th September, 1885–2nd March, 1930) was an English writer and poet.
