The Tome is ''[[The Road to Reality]]'' by [[Sir Roger Penrose]], which contains a comprehensive account of the physical universe, as it was understood around 2007. To gain an understanding and intuition for the information contained in the [[Graph, Wall, Tome#Graph|Graph]] and the [[Graph, Wall, Tome#Wall|Wall]], reading this book will provide a great head-start. With 34 chapters spread over 1000 pages, including diagrams, equations, and descriptions, there are multiple avenues for understanding all concepts.
