Jay's post deserves a thorough and detailed reply which I wish to take up
when I have more time. But in the first instance, my instant reaction to:
>Is it so hard to learn to see the grid from the underside? or is it just
>too frightening ... JAY.

is: it is both frightening and hard and potentially unproductive. I say
this not as a criticism, but as an observation in the domain of the 3d
metaphor Jay's question conveys to me: The grid, from underneath or above
is still the grid; the framework that constrains perception and
understanding. This is dialectics' hidden dialectic ... not outside;
offside (to use another analogy).
