In that case, I must conclude that {piro loi nanmu} is not just
"some fraction of the mass of all men". In fact it has to be
"Mr. Fraction of the Mass of All Men", the uniquization of the
fractions, the single individual that has all fractions as its
avatars. So {loi} is not just a conflation of Substance and
Collective, but it also conflates Unique.
