What is the interface of Chess and reality?  Is Chess the unreal?  Or the
other way around. (Just peruse any and all five cv-creations above.)  If Chess existed first, why not invent a Reality to conform to it?  What reality would that be? No that's the follow-up question.  The first question: which Chess?  If Chess exists a priori, what shape does it take?  It depends: on the dimension 2d or 3d; on what symmetries get broken, beginning with pawn-piece dichotomy; on whether all the sizing, rules and
reaches do become geometrized. In principle a single separate hieroglyphic, or ideogram,
'/_l!-' one instance, can be read for distinct unambiguous rules-set without any at
all actual ordinary wording.   It would just further codify Betzan Funny
Notation from piece-type to entire CVs wanted.

Besides the first five honoured, what other Image-CVs conform to Reality
itself, or vice versa? (stanley random to be replaced lacking the original long story-line.)
