why the shape of an atom isn't 1 is the paradox :)

  $ $ 1
0

This innequality is hard to appreciate.
   1 -: ,1
0
   ($ $ 1 2) -: 1
0
  (,1) + 2 3 
|length error
|   (,1)    +2 3

Are there circumstances when the innequality is helpful?  Seems like converting 
a list of 1 into an atom or v.versa could be appealing.

The shape of an atom is empty:
  $'1'


The shape of an empty is not empty:
  $i.0
0

Thus:
   $$'1'
0
   $$i.0
1

What is the shape of the things contained inside
a shape?

Paradox, or intuitively obvious?
