Series: cómo operan los conceptos

Good evening. This video is about a text of mine called "Series," and we begin by presenting three stories, we could say, and from them we're going to ask ourselves some questions.

We have a sphere, geometric elements, arithmetic elements, carpentry tools, architectural tools, measuring tools, animals, winged beings. We have a bat here that has this label, which says

precisely "Melancholy." So, it would be good for you to look at all of this in detail. Look online for an image; perhaps you can see it better in detail. All these elements, so what is it that interests us here? All these elements that, if you think about it, don't have much to do with each other:
