"Finnegans Wake was based on a mathematical fractal."

>> No.14839319

It was the opposite of based in every essence and literareute.

>> No.14839353

>>14839004
An unfalsifiable claim. Samuel Beckett's Quad, on the other hand, is literally based on a mathematical fractal, as you will see here:

I think its safe to say who the real giant of modernism was.

A fractal is just a visual representation of the sum of a series.

No, the sum of a series is a single number.

The Quad piece is manifroscient when viewed mathematically; it doesn't have any philanthropical standing compared to the Wake.

Manifested from knowledge. I amalgamated it from manifested, fro and scient. If you don't possess the vocabulary to process what I meant then that's fine; feel free to google these words by themselves and stare at the screen for a hour or so, breathing through your mouth, until it makes sense. Beckett's quad work is self-indulgent at best and captures none of the raw humanity of Finnegans Wake.

Man, you are one desperate cookie, aren't you? You even bundled a load of words together in an attempt to emulate the portmanteaus of your favourite literary fart-smeller. Shame you don't have the subtlety, tact or basic intelligence to pull it off.

Of course I've had sex. That's the reason I can emphasize so easily with the sexual undertones of the novel and how sexual guilt is interlaced throughout all of human history and creation. I'm not surprised you would make the connection though, you being a virgin and all hahahahahahahaha!

no one who has sex types like this. I'm sure a man with a keen interpretive eye such as yourself should've been well aware of this when composing it. I do wish you would drop the pretence so we could have a more authentic conversation.

Drop what pretense? I admit; my delivery on that line was a little awkward, however it's simply due to my natural instinct being to add in some emoji's (most of my prose is done on my phone). With no emoji's available on hand on this image board, I had to resort to more prehistoric gestures.

Now, where were we? Ah yes; dropping the pretense. You're a Beckett shill without knowing why Finnegans Wake is better. Make your argument, and quickly! I'm about to reside to my abode.
