Its main characters are; Frank Ramsey, Issai Schur, Richard Rados, Bertel van der Waarden, Ronald Graham and Paul Erdos, some of the pioneers of the field of Ramsey theory. There has been care put into each paragraph so that it’s lines can be viewed as though they were nodes on a graph which share traits with each other of rhyme, theme and length which can be paired in 2 states, sharing and unique in such a way that one might find coloured graph edges when working in the field of Ramsey theory.
