Collaborating with Cliff Barney, Kurt conceptualized a book proposing to expound upon Brown's Laws of Form by actually performing Brown's calculus; "to show how, by examining the structure of Spencer Brown's calculus, which is to say its language and symbols and formal relations of its parts, we may, by uncovering the form of the form, see and intuit the relation of form to content and the way in which all systems reflect themselves in each other." What began as a scholarly exercise evolved instead into the fictional Omasters, its oddball characters and settings presenting various archetypes postulated by Brown and action within differing but simultaneous realms of time.
