Intermezzo

The time has come -- to speak of many things?  no that's the other introit --
to assemble the players on a single stage, and perhaps to qualify a few of
their names in the interest of more robust unions in future transformances.
I do not apologize for the fact that I must appear to focus so much on the
understudies, when there are such superstars to be seen, as I have learned
that a recursive performance smashes or crashes on its foots and its steps.

To preserve the characters "A" and "X" from the career blights of excessive
type-casting, let's reissue the 1-dimensional universe formerly known as X%
under a more stock title, say, X1% = [x_1], relegating it to the nuances of
context whether it is permissible to call it under the nickname of X% = [x],
and let's recall the alphabet of TLC as !TLC! = {a_1, ..., a_25}, assigning
the now formal variables a_j to the same collection of distinctive features
as they had before, but repackaging the universe of discourse A% under TLC%.

Further, to conform to a previously established practice, I will designate
the set of "painted cacti" on the set of "paints" !P! = {p_1, ..., p_n} as
!C! = !C!(!P!) c !A!*, where "!A!" reverts to its generic use for denoting
a contextually relevant alphabet, in this context giving !A! = !M! |_| !P|,
where !M! is the set of marks mentioned before, !M! = {" ", "(", ",", ")"},
and where !P! = !X! or !P! = !TLC!, as the case may be.

I know this is tedious, but computers are so darn picky about this stuff.
