Fing arrives in Elysium (USA 1776 - 1826) when Jack hits the ground and enters Tlon (the future of emptiness). Fing bounces up and is reconstituted in a spheroid of light. He is joined by his next guide, the Jester/Parson Yorick, who guides him upward into the sky, meeting a plethora of American revolutionaries, Hamilton, Jay, Monroe, Lafayette, Simon Bolivar, Thomas Jefferson (and Sally Hemings), George Washington.
In each scene, the featured characters are stand-ins for their time, a microcosmic example of those who (as Dante said of Purgatorio and Paradiso) had cultivated the good of their intellect, establishing the ideals with which America was built.
