It is the case that all mathematical formal systems are based on certain already given and/or amplified distinctions such as the typography we are using. LoF is a workbook about how such structures come about. There is no way to do this except to look at what happens in your own doing. The book is not a definition of distinctions and their doing as an objective subject. There is no objective subject here. That is why a distinction is a distinction made by someone.
