Like Anathem, I think of this as a monk tech book. Dealing with folks who had made choices about how to manage attention. The idea of a game, based on music and math, where you play with ideas, positioning them in sequence (intentionally left vague) is suggestive to me in a world of embeddings. It also makes me think about how books serve as ways of containing ideas - traditions also - so that they can be organized as position in relation to each other.
