Amazing! If the authors are in here, I'd love to chat ways one might make this architectonically unified, AKA fractal in composition. As-is, this is probably the coolest and most ambitious literary thing I've seen this year, so I'll take that as a win! I wonder if they're using Genealogy in a technical sense re:Foucault's Archaeology, or if they're just generally invoking progress.

I will say that there's a lot that could be added before and after Frege that would be helpful, for the programming languages bit. Whitehead, Russell, Peirce, and Chomsky would be nice to see, not to mention Aristotle and Hegel
