Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

mutatis

I think that if one starts reading around here --

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=x_x5kgD1ijAC&pg=PA111&lpg=PA111&dq=%22inspector+lee%22+nova+police&source=bl&ots=YQORpC3L_R&sig=eNDaOLoBi62swnWqjtc9F-n6aYY&hl=en#v=onepage&q=%22inspector%20lee%22%20nova%20police&f=false

and keeps going for a while one can see that the footnotes to WSB's
writing apply mutatis mutandis to AOM.

«If the Nova Police [Resp. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen] can
really be put out of business along with their opponents -- which is
by no means certain -- it is because they are not so much
dialectically and linguistically constructed social subjects [a
remarkable claim when considering literary figures], which must
constantly recreate the conditions of their own existence, as they are
biochemical agents, which react to a limited set of conditions and
disappear once those conditions vanish.»
