You still haven't figured out how analogies work. For example, you could just as well have objected that set theory says you can put anything in a set, so how come I can't put an aircraft carrier in a bag of potatoes? Or you could object that math says there's only one number three, but I could have three oranges and three apples and those are different. These objections are malformed; they confuse the physical world and the abstract world, which are vaguely related but not connected in any *concrete* way. I believe that you are continually seeking to understand the nature of the *concrete* relationship between the abstract world and the physical world, and *there isn't one.*

I really, really like french fries. I wish I didn't.
