Looking North, The Road We Will Follow Out Of Town.
….Somewhere During the Narrator’s Intense Discussion of Poincaré, He and Chris Get Back On the Highway, But We Are Not Told When or Where.

…..“ The same is true of hypotheses. Which hypotheses? Poincaré wrote, "If a phenomenon admits of a complete mechanical explanation it will admit of an infinity of others which will account equally well for all the peculiarities disclosed by experiment." This was the statement made by Phædrus in the laboratory; it raised the question that failed him out of school.
.... If the scientist had at his disposal infinite time, Poincaré said, it would only be necessary to say to him, "Look and notice well"; but as there isn’t time to see everything, and as it’s better not to see than to see wrongly, it’s necessary for him to make a choice. .. “
….“ Poincaré laid down some rules: There is a hierarchy of facts.
.. .. The more general a fact, the more precious it is. Those which serve many times are better than those which have little chance of coming up again. Biologists, for example, would be at a loss to construct a science if only individuals and no species existed, and if heredity didn’t make children like parents.
.... Which facts are likely to reappear? The simple facts. How to recognize them? Choose those that seem simple. Either this simplicity is real or the complex elements are indistinguishable. In the first case we’re likely to meet this simple fact again either alone or as an element in a complex fact. The second case too has a good chance of recurring since nature doesn’t randomly construct such cases.“(Cont.next)

About 0.4 Mile North Of Crossroad At Town Center, Hall, MT.

….As we leave Hall, MT, we now have finished the 23rd photo illustrating the ZMM Narrator’s “half page” describing the travel from Three Forks, MT to Hall, MT:
…Twenty three photos previous, is where it was explained => “A Note To Prepare The Reader (You) For The Next 23 Photos To Come:), the last Narrator mentioned town on Rt 1 out of Anaconda, MT.”

..****************..
…. The ZMM Route (o/c chosen by Robert Pirsig), would naturally want to continue to follow Rt-1, as much as possible, on the way to (and on through) Missoula, MT.
….However, because “All Roads Lead To Rome”, there is no practical way to avoid going through the heavy low quality traffic & roads of Missoula, MT.
