¶ Geometry
Index Entry
Geometry:
“Now I have discovered that this thinking process is one in which by holding out and getting rid of the irrelevancies, we definitely developed for the first time a conceivable geometry. The geometry of the Universe was not conceivable because it was nonsimultaneous. In the first place I found this a very important and satisfying kind of discovery and it stopped me from having to know where the ball ends. It is not a ball, but thought begins to develop the first geometry with a dismissal outwardly and a dismissal inwardly which leaves a spherical zone of irrelevancy. The thinking is omnidirectional.”
