- D-503 starts a journal describing his work on the spaceship Integral.
- He is very excited about the prospects of the ship, and makes weird, creepy mathematical references explaining how the One State is going "to unbend the wild curve, to straighten it out to a tangent-to a straight line!" (1.7)
- He further emphasizes that, even though he is one man, he moves and writes for all men. Again with the creepy.
