This is a special A phrase for frequently used by Pynchonin all his novels except ''Vineland'', likely because of its multiple meanings, metaphorically. It :"single up all lines" is used in its normal nautical context in [http://v.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_1#single_up_all_lines ''V.'' (pp, p.11 and 438), ]; [http://cl49.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_2#single_up_all_lines ''The Crying of Lot 49'' (, p.31), ]; [http://gravitys-rainbow.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pages_488-491#single_up_all_lines ''Gravity's Rainbow'' (, p.489), ]; [http://masondixon.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_26:_257-265#Page_258 ''Mason & Dixon'' (, pp.258 and 260), ]; and it is the very first sentence of ''Against the Day''. Apparently, ''Vineland'' is the only novel without this phrase. See [http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=ATD_1-25#Page_1 herePage_3 ''Against the Day'', p.3] for . Perhaps we can understand this "line" as a longer note on text-string linking Pynchon's novels together (all but [http://vineland.pynchonwiki.com/wiki ''Vineland'']?). Of course, the fact that ''Vineland'' ''doesn't'' include the significance of this phrase.sort of throws a spanner in the works, as far as assigning ''meaning''!
