"The gods who had given the pilot two men's physical strength had put him in a milieu where he had no use for it. This was the basic source of his anger at the world." (p. 92)
I thought that it was because the regime killed his father. He sounds like Fenn.
Explaining shadow matter, Wheeler says:
"'The theory has had great cosmological value. The existence of two complexes makes the interstellar medium twice as dense as it would otherwise be, gravitationally speaking. That helps account for the observed distribution of our own galaxies.'" (p. 102)
Thus, shadow matter performs a function currently attributed to dark matter.
Our angry man thinks:
"Let me charge my enemy head on!
"Charge!
"An oath tore from him." (p. 103)
An Andersonian moment of realization in the word, "Charge!"
A practical survival problem is about to be solved.

Kaor, Paul!
Perhaps Rouvaratz felt both a sense of physical frustration/"crampedness" and lingering resentment at how his father had been killed during the revolt against the Gearchy.
