Probable Systems 4

"Probable Systems 4 (for James Joyce (in a bummer))". Mini-mimeo series #54. Toronto: Ganglia Press, 1980.  Included in the Four Horsemen's A Little Nastiness (1980). Reprinted in Zygal: A Book of Mysteries and Translations (2003) and A Book of Variations (2013) as "this one's for james joyce in his worst bummer". Geoffrey Nilson adds, "Having proved faith equals hope (literally and not by metaphor), Nichol cleverly illustrates the expressiveness of mathematics for speaking directly to the human experience."
