Experimentally Founded Mathematics. E.F.M.
"Since the measurement of light’s relative swiftness, which is far from instantaneous, the classical concepts of instant universe and the mathematician’s instant lines are both inadequate and invalid as . . . concepts for inclusion in what I . . . call Experimentally Founded Mathematics-- and will symbolize as EFM. My mathematical-physicist friends call me ‘an experimental mathematician.’
“Employing EFM I have found a comprehensively rational, vectorial, topological, arithmetical and geometrical coordinate system which I have titled Synergetics in which an angle is an angle independently of the length of its sides. . . .”
