But how, Tau wanted to protest, could you describe a stone entirely with a set of letters? How could an equation about the movement of a stone contain the ways in which a stone might be thrown to hurt someone, or ground to help make flour, or mortared into a wall? How could the equation capture the way in which a certain kind of stone might be venerated by one house, because their forefathers had died to the last in a battle on that stone, and cursed by another house, because that stone had been used in the arrows that killed their herd?
