Hurt applies to "I", not "Wade", so we keep 3 and 4 seperate. From the
offline version of "Cohesive Math":
Addition in Cohesive Math is "a merging together". If a drop of water is
placed apart from another drop of water, then no addition has taken place.
It CM, it is only when the two drops merge that addition takes place; the
two items are "bonded", so to speak, with each other. Addition is a
cohesive operation, hence the name Cohesive Math.
If I said 7, "Hurt" would apply to both "Wade" and "I".
As far as the exclamation mark goes, I could have said
! = 8, so I could rephrase "Wade! I'm hurt!" as "12 11"
