b) Now, suppose we add a third geon, geon C. Again, each geon comes in 20 varieties and 5 sizes. We'll start by creating a two-geon pair of A and B just like in part (a) above; then, we decide which of A or B the third geon (C) will be adjacent to, and then we place geon C beside either A or B in one of the 10 allowed relations. How many distinct three-geon objects do we have in this space? c) Are these numbers (as an estimate of the "dictionary size" of potential two-geon and three-geon objects) significantly bigger, significantly smaller, or comparable to the actual size of our object vocabulary in English as discussed in lecture
