"When one goes still further one passes beyond even this stage, one
becomes such that one does not think of one's own essence and one's
consciousness of self is obliterated. This is called Major Annihilation. When
one forgets oneself and forgets forgetting, it is called Annihilation in
Annihilation. . . . One reaches perfection only when cognition is lost in the
object of cognition, for whoever delights in the act of cognition as well as
in the object of cognition has, as it were, two objects. One is 'abstracted'
when one leaves behind cognition for the object of cognition. when the
last traces of corporeal humanity are expended, it is the state of Obliteration . . ."

Use of the term has also misleadingly been extended to comedy where
riffing is used to mean the verbal exploration of a particular subject, thus
moving the meaning away from the original jazz sense of a repeated
figure over which the soloist improvises, to instead indicate the
improvisation itself: that is, improvising on a melody or progression as
one would improvise on a subject by extending a singular thought, idea or
inspiration into a bit, or routine.

shall we suppose you know much of the model-T by it's chassis?
