If I am correctly interpreting the sentence "Each formatted number is in a box"
from [1], then following phrase should not produce a
box:
8!:0 i. 0
++
||
++
That is, there are no formatted numbers, so there should be no boxes. Put
another way, the following is inconsistent:
# 8!:0 i. 3
3
# 8!:0 i. 2
2
# 8!:0 i. 1
1
# 8!:0 i. 0
1
Put another way, since 8!:0 deals with "each number", I expect it to act as if
it were rank 0, even if has unbounded rank.
