On the Old North Trail: a preliminary essay on applied analysis in A Time of Cholera.

I ask you to join me in exploration of territory. We shall look at some signs and trails and attempt to exist far from home in a beautiful but sometimes threatening environment. Instead  of informants I will be dealing with patients and on the basis of experience I expect modification from my usual ways of working. Words, signs, gestures that convey the feeling of the spoken word may have different meanings. This complicates my understanding and lack of understanding may prevent useful contact. I may need to use interpreters. I am trying to fit what I experience into a Metapsychological Profile. A map both of persons, as individuals and a larger global map of the culture. Like for Lewis and Clark it may help others to explore and also correct where we have been and what we have seen.
