At La Jolla, Alfred spent a great deal of his time reading, making notes, and pondering. He wanted to get to the roots of time-binding and considered the foundations of mathematics and the theory of relativity particularly relevant. Three authors in these subjects particularly managed to grab his interest at this time: Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead (who had written jointly and separately), and Arthur Stanley Eddington. The works of these men had a major influence on Korzybski’s subsequent formulating. Therefore, in this chapter, I go into some detail on the ‘building blocks’ Alfred derived from them.
