| in helping us learn to think of everything as being | | | | that he wants, too. That way we both gain and |

| that constantly branch and branch again, with every | | | | that part. Just know that you two make a |

| Now, please understand: a theory doesn't have to be | | | | But with this process, you already know it exists, |

| that we're going to use to help us understand how | | | | even have your (mental) hands on it. It's not lacking, |

| you want. | | | | Will this impoverish those other fractionated versions |
