Never has life been so exciting. So many little things are being done, impossible to organize by one person; it seems there must be two, three or more people involved; everything is done perfectly as though the people involved know exactly what needs to be done to make everything fit. All the items to be fitted can be described succinctly and appear on a parts list as unique items, items of no relevance to each other. Yet, all items are to be connected to each other, and, at a point, each depends on the other.
Arranging the items in list form makes it easy to organize them, yet impossible to show how important they are to each other. One part, Item 113, is described as "Facing Bevel Gear"; however, there is no complementary shaft. Another item on the list, Item 017, exists, it seems, because there are 16 items before it and it is needed to include items 018-204. Item 017 is described as a "Spacer".
The instructions for putting the parts together were not shipped. In fact, it appears the object to be constructed wont be determined until all the pieces are put together. Since all parts are unique, it seems the completed object would be unique. And this is my first time experiencing such a project; everything I have done before this, in one way or another, has been done before.
So far I am having trouble imagining if Item 001 is suppose to be connected to Item 002. Upon attempting, the impression is it is not. It is impossible to see if any parts cause any others to move. Further, the parts cannot be seen as part of something that has a wide range of motion or is for accurate mannipulation.
The parts came in a simple container. It's not how they arrived that matters*; what is interesting is that immediately after it was delivered another simple container (marked "Alternates") arrived. The "alternates" are also organized on a list. The conclusion is the "alternates" are parts of something unimaginable as well.
Further to this, it is impossible to rule out the parts in Box A and Box B were designed not to fit together. However, so far the desideratum is the discovery of the function of the parts of the two containers.
*This conclusion will undoubtedly need to be re-evaluated.
