Because there is only one adornus in existence, studying it is ultimately pointless. Without the benefit of observing more than one specimen, there is no way to determine whether it is acting in a way that is natural to its kind or in a way that is specific to this adornus in particular. Certainly, it is a vibrant little creature and there is a great deal of behavior to describe, but why bother? The only thing of value that can be said is that the adornus is unique in the purest sense of the word.
By way of comparison, what we praise as uniqueness and individuality among human beings is, upon serious consideration, only an improvisation that exists within set parameters. And while it is possible for our improvisations to be wonderfully rich and complex, our capacity to be dissimilar from one another has definite limits.
What’s more, in order for a person to be recognized as being an individual, that person has to have a great deal in common with the group that he or she is attempting to be distinguished from. This may seem counterintuitive, but consider the words hot and cold in relation to one another. Both are adjectives referring to extreme temperatures. The reason that we recognize these words as being opposite of one another is that except for one distinction their meaning is identical. Likewise, in order for a person to stand out as an individual that person must first adhere to an untold number of social conventions. If anyone were to be purely unique, that person’s existence would no longer make sense to us.
That is why studying the adomus is useless. If there is no context to judge its behavior against, no conventions for it to adhere to or reject, then it is impossible for anything it does to have meaning.
