Geometry: Plane Geometry:
“… 'When we said that ‘plane’ geometry is more fundamental and therefore easier than solid geometry, and that a dynamic geometry was something prohibitively ‘way out’ in relative difficulty of comprehensibility. ‘Geometry didn’t have all the qualities of energy,’ said the pure mathematicians. All their complete abstraction of pattern from reality of experiences was thought to be simple. I discovered that nothing can be more complicated than ‘plane’ geometry nor a more highly specialized case of ‘pure mathematics.’ Plane geometry is the most special case of ‘not true at all.’”
