About Existence Munus Primarium: Sella
Textus Libri: Existentia est sella ad cogitandum destinata. Sella tractatur tamquam opus architecturae quod marginem definit et spatium menti implendum relinquit. Duo exemplaria ex chalybe inoxidabili facta sunt. In Existentia sedere attentionem et laborem muscularem requirit, itaque sella commoditatem corporalem restringit ut mens libera fiat. Quaeque sella 1000 mm in latitudine, 800 mm in altitudine posteriore et 600 mm in altitudine metitur. Exemplaria manu formata sunt, et variae artes adhibitae sunt ut exacta accuratio attingeretur.
