I am thinking about Tristan as a sort of Lear figure. I don’t think he has kids, like I said, but I like to think that he took a sort of pater familias approach to his board who have begun to try and force him out of power as anything but a figure head (with good reason as Tristan is a bit raving in a wind storm like Lear). He is obsessed with a new set of psychoactive pharmeceuticals that have the ability to created instant experience of emotion. He is also working on a form of chemical jungian knowledge… to convey archetypes through carbon based molecules… sort of chemical computer chips… you eat them and know how to porgram your VCR lets say.. but if you mix pills, you might know how to program your VCR but when you do, it makes you weep, or dance for joy. Tristan is melomaniacal about this innovation, his life’s work, and at times is a bit like a mad scientist threatening to dose the world into self destrucition, etc.
There is something about Quantum Mechanics and String Theory that is involved with the manufactureof these pharmeceuticals and so The Cern Collider coming on line is important to making the drugs work. Maybe they need a quark or two?
