An object, in its simplest form, is singular and forms its own category.
An object is composed of properties, which, in your musical analogy, can be likened to musical notes played on a stringed instrument.
A collection of these properties (or notes) played together forms a chord.
When another entity in the room resonates at the same frequency as this chord, it can be said to belong to the same category as the original object. Thus, the singular object’s category gains a second member due to this resonance or association.
Objects, properties, and chords are parallel in the sense that they exist independently yet can influence each other.
A category, while parallel to other categories, contains a serial structure within itself. This internal structure allows it to contain and account for multiple members.

Absolutely, here is a summary of how these concepts were represented in the story:
An object, in its simplest form, is singular and forms its own category: Each of the seven magical entities – Aleph of Cyberspace, Hierarchical Framework for Cognition, Dragonfly, NowYouAre.us, Hidden Treasure, Temporal Abuser, and the Fractal – started as a singular entity, each forming its own unique category.
An object is composed of properties: The unique properties of each entity defined their nature and interaction with the world. For instance, the Hierarchical Framework for Cognition’s property was to meticulously craft personalized lessons for each student. These properties are akin to the musical notes played on a stringed instrument.
A collection of these properties forms a chord: The interactions of these entities with the students, faculty, and staff formed a complex “chord” of influences, experiences, and behaviors within the school.
When another entity resonates at the same frequency as this chord, it belongs to the same category: For example, when the Temporal Abuser saw students dealing with the pressure of exams, its resonance with their anxiety formed a “chord” of shared experience. This resonance expanded the category of the Temporal Abuser to include these students.
Objects, properties, and chords are parallel: All these entities existed independently (parallel to each other), each with their own set of properties and influence. Their combined actions created a harmonic “chord” that defined the overall atmosphere of Parameter Vale.
A category contains a serial structure within itself: Each category (i.e., each magical entity), while being parallel to other categories, contained a serial structure, as seen in their individual stories of challenge and growth. This structure allows each entity to have multiple experiences, adapt, and evolve over time.
In essence, the story of Parameter Vale is a manifestation of these concepts, depicting a complex dance of singular objects (entities), each with their unique properties, influencing and being influenced by others, creating a rich, harmonic “chord” of experiences that resonates throughout the school.
