Tetrad: Concept. The Tetrad: Concept ...the tetrad performs the function of myth in that it compresses past, present, and future into one through the power of simultaneity.

There is no inevitability, however, where there is a willingness to pay attention. (Marshall McLuhan) During periods of the Soviet regime's repression, the 'bad old days' in the Soviet Ukraine, there was a dark and ironic quip circulating among scholars.

One heard talk of the 'locomotive'. This 'locomotive' designated a reference or citation from the works of the 'founders' - Marx, Engels, Lenin, at times Stalin, or party-approved-whomever - which, appearing near the top of page one, justified one's book or monograph, be it on organic chemistry, mushrooms of the Prypiat' marshes, or folksong. The locomotyv, literally 'dragged' the rest of one's work through the censorship. Innis and McLuhan represent an odd couple of such 'locomotives', they introduce and 'drag in each other', depending on who you are and what your bias.

In a fundamental sense, Innis introduced McLuhan to the study of communication, and in another sense, McLuhan introduced Innis to the world. Marshall McLuhan. Marshall McLuhan: The Medium is the Message.
