Is your question about "object" such that you remove yourself as a peer capable of reviewing the text? — Paine

Nope; got nothing to do with the text. By asking what you mean “object” to represent prevents me from prematurely mis-judging your use of it solely from what I think it represents.

I just want to know what “object” gives me that object doesn’t. What do the marks give to object that object doesn’t already have?
