The handwritten page pairs a perception of reality with common sense in a brief definition.
The title reads Proinoid, without a secure basis for treating it as a diagnosis. The provisional third-line word abduncence limits the relation between perception of reality and common sense. Neither absence nor abundance is established as its meaning.
The handwritten page 'Proinoid' gives a four-line definition: 'Aquite perception / of reality, and an / abduncence of / common sense'.
Set out like a dictionary entry under an invented, clinical-sounding title, the page pairs sharp perception of reality with a relation to common sense named only by the author's word 'abduncence', which could point toward abundance or absence and is left as written. As the last page of the collection it reads as a wry, self-diagnosing definition.
