Air Space:
"While earliest hunting men were linear, agricultural, and trade-center colonizing men began to deal in planes. The crisscross, right-angle grid of the ‘plane’ is apparent in civil and agrarian law. A realistic geometric progression is disclosed in the transformings of legal evolution. Building vertically as he became crowded, three-dimensionality entered man’s law governing, for instance, multiple occupancy buildings, and the like. Now legal prospecting attempts to deal statically (and futilely) with dynamical fourth-dimensionality air space, outer space, and so forth.
“Here the laws of man will have to conform eventually with Einstein’s relativity, which will bring about an omnidynamical symmetry marriage of social and natural law. The airs flow continually around the Earth, so the air above any one point does not stay there. Because of the Earth’s revolutions and orbiting, as well as the other astronomical motions, geometrical relationships continually change above any point on Earth. Ergo, neither the air nor the starry frame of reference remains the same. So we ask what the properties are of their ‘air space’ which men, cities, and nations assert to have been violated. How violate nonexistence!”
