Geodesic Line:
"Synergetic geometry deals with the most economical relationships and not with the shortest lines. ‘Most economical’ and ‘shortest’ are not the same.
“The ‘straight’ line of the Early Greeks is the shortest distance between two points. Ergo, curved lines are not the ‘shortest.’ But geodesic lines are the most economical (meaning least time-energy involvement) relationship between any two events. Events are energetic. The way to shoot a bird is not to aim at where the bird is now flying.”
