Desperately trying to disprove the theory but failing, what about mirrors, false bottoms, if the jar is in the woods, if it's a single... Ahh yes, one item is 'it'! What about how many jars are in the jar? How many lids in the jar - discuss the concept of in/on and fractions...how many philosophical quandaries are in the jar - it depends... Have I ruined it? Sorry :/

..."if the jar is in the woods"... love it....your mind is a massive mobile.....touch one item and....well....hang on. thanks for the humor and inquiry into the complexities of the jar.
