the U.S.T.A.→O.N.A.N.T.A. hinge
All this until the erection of O.N.A.N. and the inception, in Clipperton’s eighteenth summer, of Subsidized Time, the adverted Year of the Whopper, when the U.S.T.A. became the O.N.A.N.T.A
Context
The founding dated by its institutional hinge: "the erection of O.N.A.N. and the inception... of Subsidized Time, the adverted Year of the Whopper, when the U.S.T.A. became the O.N.A.N.T.A." The changeover so total that even the tennis-governing body is re-lettered, and a "Mexican systems analyst" at the new O.N.A.N.T.A. computer, not knowing the local rules, treats Clipperton's extortion-wins as sanctioned — the Reconfiguration's administrative reshuffle producing a legitimation-by-ignorance. (Clipperton's suicide / "eradicates his map" is depression-anhedonia's; landed here is the O.N.A.N./Subsidized-Time hinge.)
