Conventional wisdom defines a countable object absolutely, without reference to the relationship that draws a distinction between what it is and what it is not. Hence it is believed that countable objects in a group can be counted in a chain, without considering those parts which separate each from the other: the “not” parts of the relationship that draw a distinction between what each countable object is and what it is not. If those parts are considered, then the countable objects need to be counted in a ring, which ring connects the first and last object to be counted in the group. For example, if there are five countable objects in a group, then counting only the five “is” parts of the relationships defining the objects leaves one “not” part uncounted.
When we switch off a light we believe that we break an electrical circuit powering the light. When the light is switched back on, a ring is formed. We call this ring an electrical circuit, because we believe that electrons flow around this ring. However, when the light is switched off all of the components of the circuit remain connected in a chain. Moreover, the speed at which electrons could flow around a circuit is too slow for this to be the correct explanation. Rather, it is more accurate to imagine that work can only be performed when there is a circuit.
There is a powerful analogy here between the way in which chiralkine counting treats a countable object as a relationship between what that object is and is not, and the way in which electrical circuits function. It is as if for an electrical circuit to perform work, each of the relationships of that define what each component object of the circuit is and is not must form a ring. To return to the example of five countable objects in a group, the uncounted “not” part is the switch turned off. To draw a further analogy with economics, it as if each component of a working electrical circuit defines a distinction between an offer and a want, the erasure of which releases energy that performs the work of the circuit. For example, consider a lithium battery. A battery has two parts: the anode and cathode, which parts together function like coupled offers and wants in an economy. Discharge of the battery erases the distinction between the offers and wants, releasing energy that can be used to perform work. Recharging the battery reverses the process.
Electricity and magnetism are interrelated. Another analogy to be drawn is with magnetic blocks that can be separated, formed into a chain having a north pole end and a south pole end (north poles in the chain being bound to south poles) or a ring (the north pole end of a chain end being bound to the south pole chain end). Electrons possess a magnetic dipole, which is attributed to them spinning. These spins are believed to be coupled in a magnet. However, there is yet another close analogy to be drawn between spin coupling and chiralkine counting, as described on this page.
