Pocket seas

Seas kept in things smaller than a sea: a spoon, a doorknob, a slice of toast.

A silver spoon on the beach holds its own sea, with an island, surf and a tiny yacht. Do not stir. — “A spoonful of sea”, Fresh slop

The sea in the sardine tin is not the only small one. On the wall a spoon on the sand holds a sea with an island and a sailing boat; a glass doorknob holds a reef with a fish in it; a slice of toast has rock pools and starfish; half an orange is a swimming pool; a glass grand piano is an aquarium; a marble holds a breaking wave with a surfer on it; a pelican is drinking a whole shore into its bill, which will hold a sea when it has finished. The sea itself has a stitched pocket (The sea has pockets).

The codex proposes that these are kept seas of the same kind as the sardine-tin sea: some tins are seas, and so are some spoons. This entry is proposed by the codex, from pictures on the wall that are all machine-made, and is not canon until approved.

The facts

Kind: Place
World: The sardine-tin sea
Status: Proposed by the codex, waiting for approval
In Meinong’s jungle: “A spoonful of sea”: Impossible, the round square kind. A sea is, among other things, more than a spoonful. This one is both.
In Meinong’s jungle: “The coral doorknob”: Possible, the golden mountain kind. Reefs can be grown in a jar by the patient. A doorknob is just a jar with ambitions.
In Meinong’s jungle: “Low tide on toast”: Possible, the golden mountain kind. Rock pools can be any size, starfish included. Bread is an unusual coast but a firm one.

On the wall

Pieces of Fresh slop with one like it in them, grouped here by the proposal. The pictures don’t say they are the same one.
