Chapter 1: What is a Numberblock?
But first, we must discuss about the identity of a Numberblock. For example, One is... just a One, but when cloning is involved, it gets a little more complicated. When two Ones add up to become a Two, where do the remaining Ones go? Are they, like, in purgatory or something? Perhaps there's a "block limbo" where the addends' "lives" reside, and when the addends are re-created, either by more cloning of bodies or splitting apart, those "lives" return.
Here's another hypothesis: say One is a one-block organism. When the Ones add up to become Two, the two Ones actually become Two. Two one-block organisms become one two-block organism. That two-block organism still holds the "lives" of the addends, but through a different host. This means that Two actually has three lives: one that controls Two itself, and the two Ones stuck inside. The addends become mere spectators of their new body, until the two-block organism divides into its addends, where the Two-life now sees through either one of the one-block organism's bodies.
Speaking of division...
Chapter 2: Hey, Block! Knife!
Say we have a Three. A yellow talented proud egotistic three-block organism. Now, let's see what happens when we fire a gun at her. Ready?

As you can see, there was no blood, no carnage, just the addends of Three: a One and a Two. The One feels a bit of pain at first due to the force of the bullet, but is mostly physically unharmed. The Two, now free of the Three-captive, has its control being taken over by the Two-life. We can also do this in reverse: adding the One back to the Two makes Three. How about a more... damaging type of attack?
Here's a Four. If we strap him to a bomb, what do you think would happen? Let's find out.

Hmm... four Ones. He could split into a One and a Three, two Twos, or two Ones and a Two. But why four Ones? The answer is simple: One is the unit.
Chapter 3: Without BIT, Units Become Nits
"So Rectangl'r, what's this 'unit' thing?" you're probably wondering. The unit of a block-universe is defined as the smallest Numberblock any Numberblock can be divided into.
So in this universe, the unit is One. In Twoland, the unit is Two, which can explain why Fourteen is unable to split into two Sevens. In the Land of the Giants, the unit is Ten.
Therefore, if we
