Children’s Pictures of the Sun and the Moon:
“The age-long fallacial propensity which has frustrated adult man’s adequate conceptioning of Universe is that of spontaneously assuming that Universe must consist of a simultaneously unit conceptuality-- ergo, of simultaneous geometry or shape, i.e., a simultaneous structure. What is the shape of the Universe? What are its boundaries? These are unitary, simultaneous, static questions. They have no logical answer for Universe, though finite, is a nonsimultaneous structure. Children know this better than their parents through their innate conceptioning as yet unspoiled by erroneous logic. They remember the juggler putting a simultaneous array in the sky with nonsimultaneous tosses. The childhood representational pictures depict their dynamically arrayed concept of the ‘whole world’ inventory, of mentally juggled arrays of nonsimultaneously occurring experiences agglomerated without any intended geometrical interrelationships. In all lands the children’s spontaneous pictures contain ‘the’ house, trees, birds, dogs, flowers, grass, clouds, stars, the Sun and the Moon. The parents say, ‘Darling, a nice picture, but we don’t have both the Moon and the Sun at the same time.’ The parents are wrong-- both the Sun and the Moon coexist at all times whether temporarily”
