In this last of my literary semantics trilogy, the operation of association is introduced into mythic algebra. The hierarchy of sets, functions, relations, operations, and sequences is applied to language, story, and psychology. Topics covered include theme, subtext, symbols, and motifs. Published in 2003.

This is the second of my Journal of Literary Semantics trilogy, wherein the narrative algebra is born. It was later renamed mythic algebra.

September's post is the one that started it all, which was inspired in part by contemplating comic books. It is the only paper that mentions comic books until the Wonder Woman article 12 years later. Instead, Mythic Spacetime is the first of my Journal of Literary Semantics academic trilogy.

The Doom Patrol article is the last of my trilogy on mythic algebra applied to comic books. It is also unpublished until now. My trilogies all have the same pattern:  the first is based on mythic spacetime, the second deals with additive processes, and the third (like this month's)  explores the nonadditive processes of association.
