“Yes, I can see that no one recognizes this yet. But it is clear to me that this thing you call ‘the hand toy’ is a heuristic framework that one can use to teach children, or sufficiently curious adults, to ‘count different’. The framework popularly employed is crippled, and only demonstrates unity.

This framework includes and introduces concepts of unity within singularity, incompleteness, cross-order fractal relation, uncertainty, and other features too various and astonishing to enumerate. It’s almost unthinkable that you can deliver a model of the hand that includes the ideas behind Gödel’s formulations in a way that even a child can understand them.

Unfortunately, it is not as surprising that, so far, extremely few adults have any idea what you are attempting to give them when you demonstrate this… framework you call ‘a toy’. They actually scoff.”
