Hi guys,
serious question about IJ here.
Why did DFW focus so much on bulging planes?
It pops up a lot throughout the book, most notacibly in the last gately part.
I have read the books twice and still have no clue as to what DFW wanted to convey with these numerous descriptions of shapes that go from concav to convex (oooooh, maybe its just a refernce to the concavity/convexity, man how did i not notice this until now, well i typed all of this up already so why not hear your opinions on this too)

I'm reading it for the first time, 300 pages in, so I can't answer your question, but you can answer mine
What was the intention or purpose of the technical, medical and obscure jargon throughout the book? It makes sense thematicaly when he writes about the MIT, or from Hal's perspective for example. But in the grand scheme of things?

No intention, probably just precision combined with sweat.
