Infinite Jest's Sierpinski-Gasket Structure (an online forum)
Advances
- The Sierpinski gasket's vertices are the three addiction narratives (JOI / Hal / Gately), converging on God at the empty center
- The wraith's plan was to interface with Hal through Ortho Stice
- the macro-shape: ring, gasket, thematic chapters, dead-center design
- the scale and content of the cuts (and the 300–500-pages myth)
- the wraith's use of Ortho Stice (draft "Wraithster")
