 My vision is the strength; my ignorance is the weakness. The method will therefore be to focus on the strength, and to admit the weakness. When there is a book that remains to be read, I will name it. When there is an argument that remains to be developed, I will say so. Thus I plan to travel from gap to gap: here is a part that I see, here a part is missing, and here again is a part that I see.

Here the voids will be like holes in flesh that bleed and fester. The hope is that the tortured body will somehow take form, that the vision will find articulated embodiment.

 A force nonetheless lifts me up and carries me forward. That force is the vision, the image I have of a system of vessels and channels, of a living body of possibilities. My task is to present the vision, to try to explain how the organs of that living body of thought work together. It is a web: if you pull one knot, the rest of the mesh will come with it. It is a cycle: if you start the cycle running, it will feed itself and grow.

 I lack the qualifications for the task I want to undertake. I should have spent years researching my subject; I should have read many more books. In a world of specialized knowledge, I have failed to specialize in the field I want to explore. My knowledge contains too many gaps. But I lack the time to fill them. I must somehow adapt to this fact.
