"Universe"/"Common Sense" fits that category as well. Job and "Logic of Empire", if you squint. Wonder if RAH's superego was trying to tell him something... As does Rite of Passage, which RAH probably never stopped irrationally hating long enough to notice. [1]

("Coventry" is sort of the reverse.)
