Sur la quatrième couverture :
En 1966, ayant envoyé à Raymond Queneau le manuscrit d'un livre de poésie qui parut, avec son aide, l'année suivante aux éditions de la NRF, je fus introduit par lui à l'Oulipo et immédiatement invité à faire partie de ce groupe littéraire plutôt original. J'étais un admirateur de François Le Lionnais. Mon père, qui avait été de ceux qui luttèrent contre l'Allemagne nazie, m'avait fait lire, dès 1946, ce beau texte qu'est La peinture à Dora. Et plus tard. Les Grands courants de la pensée mathématique avaient joué un rôle décisif dans mon choix de devenir mathématicien.
Pendant cinquante ans ou presque, j'ai consacré une partie de mes efforts de compositeur de poésie et de prose à me comporter en oulipien, au sens où, je pense, Le Lionnais entendait ce terme. Comme pour toute théorie scientifique, il est nécessaire d'expérimenter, d'examiner régulièrement les concepts de la théorie, de réfléchir à ses applications, etc.
1 - Me pensant élève du fondateur de la théorie, j'ai donc imaginé et proposé des contraintes, certaines nouvelles, d'autres seulement variations sur des contraintes existantes.
2 - Je me suis, à plusieurs reprises, au long de ces années, interrogé sur le sens des trois notions essentielles à la compréhension de l'invention du Président Le Lionnais : Potentialité, Contrainte, Plagiat par Anticipation. D'où le titre CO VA RU, CO-mpositions, VA-riations et RU-minations plus ou moins contraintes.
