It all loops around and it's not always chronological/linear 1. Middlemarch as a Metaphor: “Middlemarch” is a classic novel known for its complex narrative and numerous subplots, interwoven to create a rich tapestry of life in a 19th-century English town. It’s not just one story but many, with various characters and themes intricately connected. 2. Appellate Lawyer’s Approach: The passage suggests that an appellate lawyer, when presented with “Middlemarch,” would try to dissect it into individual disputes or subplots (like the hospital story, or the story of Yvonne and Dorothy). This is analogous to how lawyers might dissect a complex legal case into separate issues or disputes. 3. Incoherence in Segmentation: The problem highlighted here is that by dividing the novel (or a legal case) into distinct parts, one loses the coherence and interconnectedness of the whole. Just as “Middlemarch” cannot be fully understood or appreciated by only looking at its individual subplots in isolation, a complex legal case loses its meaning and coherence when dissected into separate disputes. 4. Litigation and Middlemarch: The speaker believes that most legal disputes are more like “Middlemarch

Game of Go 1. Players take turns placing one stone at a time on the intersections (where lines meet), with Black playing first. 2. Once placed, stones stay on the board unless they are captured by the opponent. 3. A stone or group of stones is captured if all its adjacent empty spaces (called liberties) are occupied by the opponent. 4. Stones connected horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally) form a group that shares liberties. 5. A player cannot place a stone where it would have no liberties (unless the move captures opposing stones). 6. **The Ko rule prevents repeating the same board position immediately, ensuring the game doesn’t enter an endless loop.** 7. **The game ends when both players pass consecutively, meaning neither wants to make another move.** 8. **Territory consists of empty spaces fully surrounded by your stones; this is counted toward your final score (territory+stones captured+Komi) . Komi (usually 6.5 or 7.5 points) is added to White’s score to compensate for Black’s advantage of playing first.**
