The author is well, although anxiously in the fog alone with this woman, who first turned to him for “you.” She escorts him to the clinic, where a familiar doctor writes out a certificate of illness for them so that they will not be punished for absenteeism.

D-503 understands that it does not fit into the usual rhythm, what causes the amazement of others.

Record 16th

The author is absorbed in thoughts about I-330, about her mysterious disappearance. She was supposed to come on a date, but she did not come, and now the D-503 suffers with jealousy. He tries to reach her, then goes to her. The author who has remained at the wrong time on the street is noticed, but not punished, but taken to the clinic. There, doctors find D-503 a dangerous disease – it formed a soul. A person without a soul is a reflecting mirror; a person with a soul does not reflect, but absorbs, captures forever.

The Single State is embraced by the epidemic.

Record of the 17th

The author strolls, as doctors said. He wonders if the animals from which the Green Wall fenced off can be happy.

However, S appears in the house, from which the author hurries to hide. D-503 hides in the closet, which turns out to be an elevator: the car takes the author somewhere down.

Record of the 18th

The author describes his experiences and thoughts about a strange disease. He does not understand why one can not cope with the soul.

And the author is also sure of this, although he will not understand why.

Record of the 19th

Ten people were killed in the Integral tests, but no one regretted it, since 10 “numbers” for the One State are infinitesimal of the third order. When, after a day’s work, the D-503 was at home, an unfamiliar number came to him, which brought a letter from I-330. The woman says that she will come at a personal hour. The author is again in disarray, it seems to him wrong, but he can not resist. Then the D-503 lectures on childbirth, but the speaker does not hear the words – absorbed in external events: 0-90 saves the child being shown, which almost fell off the table. In the evening she is at home with the D-503 with the intention of forever saying goodbye to him, but at the same time wants to give birth to a child from him. The author attributes the coupon I-330 to the Yu attendant to stay alone with O.

Recording 20th

The author becomes indifferent to the fate of 0-90, like his own. He will even be happy if O falls under the bell and calls the name D-503 as an “accomplice”. The author reflects on human rights: the gram can not balance a ton, so the unit gets the duties, and the mass gets the rights. And all the Benefactor left behind each unit an inviolable right to incur punishment for a misdemeanor. The author is afraid that the “wild” readers will not understand him, they will put a minus sign in place of the plus sign. Similarly, describing the circle, the person returns to zero, but on the other hand. And zero is perceived differently, as a certain cliff. Humanity left the night bank of the zero cliff and moored to the day shore, where the United State is.

Recording 21st

The author again seeks meetings with I-330 and flies to an old house, as he considers it his duty to disclose all the “unknowns” in this “equation.” The city from below looks like the D-503 swell of ice.

Record 22nd

During the walk, the author witnesses how a woman stood up for a young man who violated

Rules and punishable by an electric whip.

The guards grabbed the author, but then released him, because he is considered ill. D-503 re-enters the thought that personal consciousness is just a disease.

Record of the 23rd

The author receives a pink ticket: I-330 will come to him at a personal hour. D-503 experiences an “abnormal” fun, he compares himself to a crystal that dissolves from happiness.

Record of the 24th

The author derives a formula that connects love and death together. Death is the limit of the function of love, but despite this, the D-503 craves love. Near Day of Unanimity, as beautiful as the Passover of the Ancients. On that day, it was supposed to give the Benefactor the keys to happiness, that is, to vote for him.

She refused, saying that the next day the D-503 would understand everything.

Record of the 25th

At the elections the author is very nervous. Although he is delighted with the appearance of the Benefactor, but inside of him is restless. The worry only increases when the D-503 sees the I-330, the R-13 and the Spy S together. On the vote the author raises his hand “for”. When the turn comes to vote “against”, but sees thousands of hands, and among them – the hand of I-330.

Record 27th

The author again visits the dungeon of an old house, where he meets with I-330. She led him through the underpass to the Green Wall – into the wild world. D-503 is dizzy.

The woman tells them that the D-503 is the builder of the Integral and he will help them fly off on Integral to other worlds. Everyone is full of fun, only the author for a moment suspected that among these people a spy was crouching.

Record 28th

I-330 is not afraid of this, but is inferior to the insistent request of D to take care and hide. Guard, including S, checks the author’s papers, but finds only records praising the Benefactor. During the search, Yu is present, whose position is incomprehensible – whether she is a scammer or an intercessor.

Record 30th

I-330 presents the author with a plan to capture the Integral for the revolution. He is perplexed, arguing with a woman.

Because of the operation, the tests of Integral are broken, which means that the plan of its capture by people I-330 is also broken.

However, the author notices the spy in time and leads 0-90 to the other side, loudly telling her about the forthcoming flight of Integral.

However, S appears in the house, from which the author hurries to hide. D-503 hides in the closet, which turns out to be an elevator: the car takes the author somewhere down.

Recording the 18th.

The author describes his experiences and thoughts about a strange disease. He does not understand why one can not cope with the soul. It is not clear what a soul is and why it is difficult to describe mathematically. In a perfect world, mathematics is never wrong – like death. D-503 receives a letter from 0-90, which informs that it refuses the scheduled appointment with him. She is sure that this is the best for D. And the author is also sure of this, although he will not understand why.

Record of the 19th.

Ten people were killed in the Integral tests, but no one regretted it, since 10 “numbers” for the One State are infinitesimal of the third order. When, after a day’s work, the D-503 was at home, an unfamiliar number came to him, which brought a letter from I-330. The woman says that she will come at a personal hour. The author is again in disarray, it seems to him wrong, but he can not resist. Then the D-503 lectures on childbirth, but the speaker does not hear the words – absorbed in external events: 0-90 saves the child being shown, which almost fell off the table. In the evening she is at home with the D-503 with the intention of forever saying goodbye to him, but at the same time wants to give birth to a child from him. The author attributes the coupon I-330 to the Yu attendant to stay alone with O.

Recording is the 20th.

The author becomes indifferent to the fate of 0-90, like his own. He will even be happy if O falls under the bell and calls the name D-503 as an “accomplice”. The author reflects on human rights: the gram can not balance a ton, so the unit gets the duties, and the mass gets the rights. And all the Benefactor left behind each unit an inviolable right to incur punishment for a misdemeanor. The author is afraid that the “wild” readers will not understand him, they will put a minus sign in place of the plus sign. Similarly, describing the circle, the person returns to zero, but on the other hand. And zero is perceived differently, as a certain cliff. Humanity left the night bank of the zero cliff and moored to the day shore, where the United State is.

Recording the 21st.

The author again seeks meetings with I-330 and flies to an old house, as he considers it his duty to disclose all the “unknowns” in this “equation.” The city from below looks like the D-503 swell of ice.

Record 24th.

The author derives a formula that connects love and death together. Death is the limit of the function of love, but despite this, the D-503 craves love. Near Day of Unanimity, as beautiful as the Passover of the Ancients. On that day, it was supposed to give the Benefactor the keys to happiness, that is, to vote for him.

She refused, saying that the next day the D-503 would understand everything.

Recording the 25th.

At the elections the author is very nervous. Although he is delighted with the appearance of the Benefactor, but inside of him is restless.

When the turn comes to vote “against”, but sees thousands of hands, and among them – the hand of I-330.
