【 摘 要 】

Unconventional discourse in schizophrenia has been speculated to be attributable to the mixing up of symbols and signs. We illustrate how a series of scientific images, cartoons, and prose are used by a patient to weave disparate-and objectively unrelated-concepts. The resulting prose is incoherent science.
