The round square

The specimen behind the start of every transect. Round, and square, so not there.

It cannot be drawn. It has been tried.

Meinong’s jungle files its impossible specimens as the round square kind: things whose properties contradict each other. The round square itself is not on any walk. It cannot be pinned or sighted, because it cannot be; all you can do is bump into the place where it would be.

It is the one specimen in the jungle that is not a picture. Like everything else here, the idea of it is filed by a machine. See the secrets ledger.
