It is difficult to summarize the work undertaken in "Superatomic Guignols Untrammeled." It is both a study and a performance of the irrational, combining philosophical inquiry with linguistic hyper-experimentation.

The work immediately abandons traditional syntactic norms, aiming to embody its subject matter, “a critique of the irrational,” through nearly indefinable (yet still comprehensible) gestures at irrational thought.

It is not at all a scholarly treatise on the history of irrationality, but, rather, a semi-poetic, non-fictional textual experience, inviting readers to grapple with the ungraspable as both idea and lived experience.

Although written in a deliberately fragmented and free-associative style, thus resisting conventional 'outlines' of thought, it is possible to offer a structural overview of the text, in the spirit of orientation rather than explanation.

1. A Beginning and a House Explores the tension between beginnings as fundamental and beginnings as precarious.

2. Limits Considers the boundaries imposed by rational frameworks and the creative ruptures necessary to transcend them.

3. Further Reflections on Things Related A meditation on the associative and disjunctive nature of irrational thought, where alignment is arbitrary and meaning emerges impossibly.

4. Value Choice Examines the paradox of valuing irrationality, where decisions must arise from unarticulated, subjective impulses rather than systematic reasoning.

5. Thinkers and Think-errs Contrasts the imaginative genius of irrational creation with the fallacies of distorted reasoning.

6. Auto Da-Fé Confronts the self’s exposure to the “ferocious light” of existence, where identity faces a trial of “sheer reality.”

7. Objective (Sub- or Pseudo-Rationality) and Subjective (Ir-Rationality) Distinguishes the subjective, creative potential of irrationality from the stifling missteps of pseudo-rational systems.

8. Like an Irrational Number, Opera Considers irrationality as a continuous, undefinable process, likened to the infinite operation of irrational numbers.

9. Way Out Proposes feelings as an alternative compass, guiding action and understanding when reason falters or disintegrates.

10. When a Person Explores the intersection of irrationality and personhood, where contradictions and incoherence define the essence of being a human person.

11. Benediction A reflection emphasizing shared mystery and the ineffable unity within subjective divergence.

12. Watch Where What Examines the descent of rational systems into incoherence, using rain as a metaphor for collapsing structures and the innumerable.

13. To Whom Is It Just Ponders the relativity of rationality, situating it as a judgment dependent on the observer’s position and context.

14. After Lisbon Reflects on historical shocks, like the infamous Lisbon earthquake, as moments where subjective irrationality transforms non-rational devastation into creative agency.

15. Divinity Was the Way Traces the historical transition from divine containment of irrationality to its present, surprisingly precarious existence.

16. No One Knows Acknowledges the unknowable origins and mechanics of imagination, suggesting shared irrationality as a grounding for human connection.

17. Our Obsession Critiques the obsession with rationality as a pursuit of control and the misapprehension of irrationality as liberation.

18. Of a Self That Is Explores the porous boundaries of selfhood, where identity is negotiated between individuality and collective belonging.

19. Of Psychoanalysis We May Say Positions psychoanalysis as a domain of the irrational, revealing its centrality in understanding the incomprehensible.

20. A Meager Mundo Warns of the impoverishment of a world stripped of imagination, emphasizing irrationality as the source of vitality and meaning.

21. A Cicada is Crying Concludes with a poetic vision of irrationality’s presence in daily life.
