Before we leave it for richer coasts --
not to say we won't find ourselves
returning eternally, O Dizzy Us --
let's note one other feature of
our randomly chosen microcosm,
one I suspect we'll see many
echoes of in the macrocosm
of our future wanderings.

One of the things that makes this sign sequence so special,
amidst the generations of other sign sequences that can be
generated from the sign relation of the primary arithmetic,
is that it goes from a relatively obscure and verbose sign
to an optimally clear and succinct sign for the same thing.
For all its simplicity, then, it possesses a property that
is characteristic of a semiotic process known as "inquiry".
