6. Therefore X does not shave himself

7. Then X shaves himself

8. Contradiction

9. X cannot shave those and only those who do not shave themselves

10. No barber can shave those and only those who do not shave themselves

A mathematical proof has a hierarchical gestalt structure

Block diagrams for musical gestalt structures are rooted ordered trees where no vertex has outdegree 1

How many block diagrams are there per number of blocks?
