The novel is divided into three parts consisting of ten chapters each. Robert James
Bidinotto noted "the titles of the parts and chapters suggest multiple layers of meaning.
The three parts, for example, are named in honor of Aristotle’s laws of logic...Part
One is titled “Non-Contradiction”...Part Two, titled “Either-Or”...[and] Part Three is
titled “A Is A,” symbolizing what Rand referred to as “the Law of Identity”.
