"Without the possibility that an origin can be lost, forgotten, or
alienated into what springs forth from it, an origin could not be
an origin. The possibility of inscription is thus a necessary possibility,

"Every triangle consists of  n congruent copies of itself"
is true if and only if  n is a square. (The proof is trivial.)
