Given the encyclopedic nature of Ulysses, "A computer cannot today enumerate these interlacings, in spite of all the many ways it can help us out. Only an as-yet unheard computer could, by attempting to integrate, and therefore by adding its own score, its other language, and its other writing, answer that in Ulysses. What I say or write here is merely putting forward a proposition, a small piece in view of that other text which would be the unheard-of computer" (70).
