[u]Branches Say[/u]

In the western exploration, the exploration continued relatively peacefully. The ones favoring hierarchical organization are no longer fighting but thinking about ways to add a role of black to aid discussions they would have. But it isn't clear for them on where to start. One then proposes what if the way was not to make agreement by consensus, but the decision makers always had the last word?

In the eastern exploration, the Platta working on division earlier (Fiyam) has been exploring the concept of drawn black trees with clear branches. They are doing this to see how something separates, and doesn't realize its other mathematical significances yet.

In the southern exploration, the Platta observe closely. Faw's actions are thought about but for now the Arsuron reaction is more watched. 

At the same time, Kifam (dark blue), the writer, shows all around the book to make sure all Platta and Faw get a view. All Platta look closely. They don't understand the meanings due to the lack of shared language. A different Platta with a yellow cloth (engineer) who introduced themselves as Aylar, remembers the Platta who proposed means of how to write of mathematics at the last discussion. They are a little more aware of the relation to what is written. They still don't know, but the way the circles combine with the symbolism of complexity apparent, makes them see it more accurately than any other Platta present.

They explain to the other Platta, although all still could hear, "I sense that that book appears to be like Fiyam's work with the mathematical principles. Do you see how the circles show it? I think we should communicate over this to show common understanding here." Although as far as the Platta know, Fiyam is not a deity, but another Platta who happens to be mathematically inclined.

Wriz, the caretaker (dark green), gets a cloth that demonstrates the principles of mathematical writing. They show and give this to the Arsuron, and see what they do with it. Wriz also starts with saying a number sequence, to show the numbers beginning at zero. This is explained as well by gesture. With no pointing, they begin at zero. Then pointing at distinct objects as they go, they continue up until 10. They stop here to make sure things are understood.
