Yeah, except you don't start out with "things". That's why it's like that
1-function variant Andrew always talks about. The S or the K or whatever.
The only "thing" you have is a set. And sets don't have order. So how do you
even *represent* "three" using only sets, with nothing in the sets but other
sets?

Except, again, you have to do it with sets.
