Visualizing a design for multiple using Mcnab’s principles was difficult but I think the number eight best captures the narrative and omnipresent quality. The number eight, according to Mcnab, on its side is the symbol for infinity. Infinity expresses coming full circle to express the whole, much like Calvino’s quality for multiplicity. Infinity represents the repetition and total of numbers but without an end.
This idea can be compared to the job of an author to include all the necessary parts to complete a story that by nature is limitless with possibility.
