Crystallized Thought

Considering the vast scope of this story and its attempt to describe nouons as particles of thought, the author did a brilliant job. The story fulfilled the aspirations of many writers of the science fiction genre-to extrapolate from what is known about a unified field theory and venture into the unknown and unknowable. What else could one expect?The positing of a a grail made of nous, solid spirit, and nouograms, solid pictures of thought, demonstrates a template for using one's imagination. Using the term levity drive as an anti gravity device to sidestep Einstein's speed limit is also a step forward in breaking out of the serious mold most writers are burdened with. Resonators, the search for ultimate truth, contrasts of illusion versus reality, the broken symmetries upon which existence rests, stepping into the subatomic realms, the moon as an alien's spaceship-what a fantastic grab bag of ideas he threw into this one. The story accomplished what it set out to-freeing the reader from terrestrial space and allowing flight into nouspace or the noosphere, take your pick.
