From the Exegesis:

am, infinity is; where infinity is, there I am. Construct

"A compelling narrative that blends a story of infinity with the tragic tale of a tormented and brilliant mathematician. From the end of the nineteenth century until his death, one of history's greatest mathematicians languished in an asylum, driven mad by an almost Faustian thirst for universal knowledge.
