Bleach extracts and expunges, gradually congesting the 59 cards to efface the primal blackness.
Binary number systems expand in exponential growth with population increasing from one by way of two.
A shroud for humanity.
We have already passed the 59th minute
"Let me give you a test tube full of food for bacteria, that represents our world. I am going to put one bacterial cell into that test tube (representing us), and it is going to divide every minute; that is exponential growth. So at time zero you have one cell; one minute you have two; two minutes you have four; three minutes you have eight; four minutes you have 16. That is exponential growth and at 60 minutes the test tube is completely full of bacteria and there is no food left, a sixty minute cycle."
