The joy the author takes on conceptualization and mental operations, logic and computation; the willful use of the Imagination to explore and deepen understanding - there's irreverence, "just for fun", like a child working with the most fascinating toy of all - the mind - and at the same time, a respect and reverence to the profound insights, fruits of the work of play.
