I’m a peasant and English isn’t my first language but I’ll speak my mind
There are multiple parts about Time (the perfect DeltaT; the torpedo not hitting the Badass because of Oneirine distorting space and time (?); Blicero ramblings etc.) witch got me thinking.
Maybe the 00000 travelled in time and hit the cinema in LA, I find this, I don’t know, kind of too kitsch or fantascientifical, but that could be what happened.
Or the last part could be another fragmented-Slothrop dream or whatever (like the part where he seems to be in the US in a city).
I also read a translated version which explained that “harp” also means harmonica, which is Slothrop instrument that seems to start his disappearance (don’t know if this is known to English speakers sorry if it is)
About the Kirghiz light I think Pynchon kind of explains it at the end of Cicerin chapter but I don’t remember, if it was just a plot device to link it to the SG and Enzian (his new “quests”) I don’t know.
Also Richard in LA is obviously Nixon but I don’t think Pynchon just wrote a book to make fun of him in the end or to link the whole paranoia thing and missiles to Watergate or Cold War, or at least I hope aha
