Harlan
had
had
no
assurance
that
he
would
ever
find
what
he
was
looking
for
in
a
reasonable
time
.
When
he
had
first
glanced
over
projected
Reality

,
he
was
half
inclined
to
believe
his
reasoning
powers
were
warped
by
wishing
.
For
a
full
day
he
had
checked
and
rechecked
equations
and
relationships
in
a
rattling
uncertainty
,
mixed
with
growing
excitement
and
a
bitter
gratitude
that
he
had
been
taught
at
least
elementary
psycho
-
mathematics
.
Now
Voy
went
over
those
same
puncture
patterns
with
a
half
-
puzzled
,
half
-
worried
eye
.
He
said
,
"
It
seems
to
me
;
I
say
,
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
all
perfectly
in
order
.
"
Harlan
said
,
"
I
refer
you
particularly
to
the
matter
of
the
courtship
characteristics
of
the
society
of
the
current
Reality
of
this
Century
.
That
’
s
sociology
and
your
responsibility
,
I
believe
.
It
’
s
why
I
arranged
to
see
you
when
I
arrived
,
rather
than
someone
else
.
"
Voy
was
now
frowning
.
He
was
still
polite
,
but
with
an
icy
touch
now
.
He
said
,
"
The
Observers
assigned
to
our
Section
are
highly
competent
.
I
have
every
certainty
that
those
assigned
to
this
project
have
given
accurate
data
.
Have
you
evidence
to
the
contrary
?
"
"
Not
at
all
,
Sociologist
Voy
.
I
accept
their
data
.
It
is
the
development
of
the
data
I
question
.
Do
you
not
have
an
alternate
tensorcomplex
at
this
point
,
if
the
courtship
data
is
taken
properly
into
consideration
?
"
Voy
stared
,
and
then
a
look
of
relief
washed
over
him
visibly
.
"
Of
course
,
Technician
,
of
course
,
but
it
resolves
itself
into
an
identity
.
There
is
a
loop
of
small
dimensions
with
no
tributaries
on
either
side
.
I
hope
you
’
ll
forgive
me
for
using
picturesque
language
rather
than
precise
mathematical
expressions
.
"
"
I
appreciate
it
,
"
said
Harlan
dryly
.
"
I
am
no
more
a
Computer
than
a
Sociologist
.
"
"
Very
good
,
then
.
The
alternate
tensor
-
complex
you
refer
to
,
or
the
forking
of
the
road
,
as
we
might
say
,
is
non
-
significant
.
The
forks
join
up
again
and
it
is
a
single
road
.
There
was
not
even
any
need
to
mention
it
in
our
recommendations
.
