What the fuck is the Zone? Europe right before the end of WWII or Slothrop's varied identities.

Whats up with Slothrop? A Pavlovian experiment since birth.

What is IG? "...the material of the future."

What is the Schwarzgerat? "Black Market" but also refers to capsule which makes sense at end of novel.

What is it with the rockets and the integrals (SS), does their technical functioning have any meaning weird meaning that going over my head? Probably refers to Pynchon's work at Boeing, whose archives had a lot of reference materials to the V2 project(s).
