As per the Yoneda lemma [0] I've studied A Chair from all possible perspectives, but still do not truly understand it.
If I, say, take 3 atoms out of it — does it stop being a chair? And if not — what's the true limit of its chairness [1]?
I suspect the AI is, ironically, the only hope on the matter.
