Borges, Jorge Luis. “A Fragment on Joyce” (1941), in Selected Non-fictions, edited by Eliot Weinberger, translated by Esther Allen, Suzanne Jill Levine & Eliot Weinberger (New York: Viking, 1999), pp. 220-221. Boldface by RD:
My story’s [“Funes the Memorious”] magical compadrito may be called a precursor of the coming race of supermen, a partial Zarathustra of the outskirts of Buenos Aires; indisputably, he is a monster. I have evoked him because a consecutive, straightforward reading of the four hundred thousand words of Ulysses would require similar monsters. (I will not venture to speak of what Finnegans Wake would demand; for me, its readers are no less inconceivable than C. H. Hinton’s fourth dimension or the trinity of Nicaea.)
Borges, Jorge Luis. “A History of Eternity” (1936), in Selected Non-Fictions, edited by Eliot Weinberger, translated by Esther Allen, Suzanne Jill Levine & Eliot Weinberger (New York: Viking, 1999), pp. 123-139.
[. . . .] “His [God’s] precise and combinatory eternity is much more copious than the universe.
Unlike the Platonic eternities, whose greatest danger is tedium, this one runs the risk of resembling the final pages of Ulysses, or even the preceding chapter, the enormous interrogation.”

Borges, Jorge Luis. “Ramón Llull’s Thinking Machine” (1937), in Selected Non-Fictions, edited by Eliot Weinberger; translated by Esther Allen, Suzanne Jill Levine, and Eliot Weinberger (New York: Viking, 1999), pp. 155-159.
Borges assesses Llull's thinking machine (composed of movable disks enabling myriad combinations of elementary ideas) useless, an absurdity for philosophical purposes but perhaps useful as a literary device. Borges adduces two diagrams, the first a diagram of divine attributes, the second, of Llull's thinking machine. It unworkability is illustrated by Borges using one of his favorite symbols, a tiger. The device is ridiculed in Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Of the first diagram, Borges suggests that the theological subject matter would not be rewarding today. Also, Borges mentions in passing the fourth dimension.
We now know that the concepts of goodness, greatness, wisdom, power, and glory are incapable of engendering an appreciable revelation. We (who are basically no less naive than Llull) would load the machine differently, no doubt with the words Entropy, Time, Electrons, Potential Energy, Fourth Dimension, Relativity, Protons, Einstein. Or with Surplus Value, Proletariat, Capitalism, Class Struggle, Dialectical Materialism, Engels. [157]
