Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement is the second solo album by progressive metal guitarist Ron Jarzombek, released in 2002.

Every song follows a loose concept of basing each song's composition on certain songwriting systems created by Jarzombek himself; the song titles are usually humorous references to these systems, explained in the liner notes:^[1] For example, "To B or Not to B" consists of 2 themes, one only using the note B ("To B"), and using every note except for B ("Not to B");^[2] "A Headache and a Sixty-Fourth" has a constant alternating time signature pattern of ⁴
