You can't tell whether there is "one thing" or not, you don't know. He
dreams up a black box without explaining what it is, and then points
at it and says "So there! Here is a solution!". Problem is not that
there is only *one* box, but that this box doesn't work as an
explanation. It might be a starting point for analysis, but there
should be some actual analysis in this case, which apparently there is
none. Tintner is trolling this forum for a long time, without any
noticeable progress, repeating the same impression over and over.
