I spy a more satisfying response-riff to that thought:

See "Content"; I am looking forward to having it fire all my 1984 cylinders, Julia/Jura getting the manic pixie treatment they deserve etc.

EDIT:I accept that it might hard to take Jura, as a concept, much further than very good Scotch.

BtW this is the KM who wrote the preface to his buddy Iain Banks' poetry release. So on the one hand Banks inspired (right arrow) Elon and on the other end in KM's stories it's the postSoviets(+Linux) who dominate future space exploration, due to socialist virtu (left arrow)

Cover art is Jennifer Lawrence meets John Christopher's Tripods?
Hmmm... haven't thought about those in a long time, even though I was looking at the "White Mountains" earlier today.

Seems as if EAB would've agreed his frame story could've been handled a bit better[0], but as he did go to a sanatorium once prescribed, I guess my imputation of paranoia driving choice of island over institution had been apophenic[1]. Maybe he was just into it because all the rich kids at St Cyprian's used to summer (ca.1915?) in exotic[2] Scotland?

[1] when did Sonia start working with IRD, anyway?

[2] two bits of information (decent bits, so we shan't mention Oliver Mellors!) as to what constituted "exotic" in postwar Britain: (a) Spaghetti Trees [1957], and (b) the first James Bond [1953] is set all the way across the Channel in "Royale-les-Eaux".

By no means contraindicating your (harmless) micro-apophenia, but "Orwell >>> Galois >>> we" in terms of gambling nous, might explain the difficulty of modelling their emotional states or purchases (ie of insurance for theories of uncertain import)

& As for the 3-fold gluing/halving (the collatz avemaria?) u might have missed the other retrospective https://minervawisdom.com/2019/06/20/ciceros-republic-the-cy...

odd, Petsinis' Galois was left-handed, but the record of the autopsy describes a right-hander: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k267462/f100.item

(do they describe him as having had a normally small cerebellum, or abnormally?)

Hmmm perhaps you refer to studies such as the following?

Indeed, although I think in Petsinis' case it was just a moment of inattention (bonus Homer). Given that I read very few XIX autopsy reports, it's completely unclear to me if they're giving a standard report or drawing attention to something. (it's even unclear to me why they should have been paying so much attention to the cranium when the problem clearly lay in the abdomen? early phrenology?)
Current-day JL; could be H G Wells too.
in which case she ought to have, not a quiver, but tubercular lungs?
