"Keltham doesn't talk to us constantly using numbers.  Maybe if he was speaking in his native tongue, he would, he often complains of how poorly suited Taldane is to thinking.  But when he was illustrating the Law of Probability to us in lectures, and needed an example with numbers for that, he had to reach back days earlier to an event that occurred when he asked Ione for a book.  If he was thinking in those terms every minute, he wouldn't have needed to reach that far back."

"Thinking using the Law and the Law's numbers reshapes even the thoughts that you just think in words, with no numbers at all."

"When I talked about the adult telling the child the goal, instead of the instructions, I was thinking, in the back of my mind, about - things I'd tried to write to myself in the notation that probably doesn't make sense - about paths of probability from one thing that happens after another - and I was thinking, the adult could just tell the child about the last thing in the chain, and not the steps there, if the child could figure it out."

"I don't think... I'm pretty sure I couldn't have answered you that way before I met Keltham, even wearing your crown.  I would have - invented clever things in words, and tried to see if one of those was what you wanted.  Not tried to invent math, and seen that all the math failed."
