Pynchon's real reality seems possible in ambiguous interface of the extreme worlds. The real present is the proper relation to the extremes of the situation this dissertation has been describing. This relation is not the absolute present refuted by relativity, a switching point in local time in which the participant remains poised at the personal relation of the situation's dimensions, rejecting the violent simplicity of a swing toward any single one, and integrating their competing claims in the interest of an equilibrium both expeditious and true. The real present is the important intersection where human affairs are governed by the twin forces of chance and design. To sum up, it is a point of ambiguity and uncertainty.
