All social systems we’ve put into place are a mere sketch.
One plus one equals two. That’s all we’ve learned.
But one plus one has never equaled two.
There are, in fact, no numbers and no letters.
We’ve codified our existence to bring it down to human size
to make it comprehensible.
We’ve created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale.
But if humans are not the unit of measure
and the world isn’t governed by mathematical laws,
what governs all that?
