Polarity:
“Absolutely straight lines or an absolutely flat plane would, theoretically, continue outwardly to infinity. . . The difference between infinity and finity is governed by the taking out of angular sinuses, like pieces of pie, out of surface areas around a point in an absolute plane. This is the way lampshaads and skirts are made. Joining the sinused fan-ends together makes a cone; if two cones are made and their open end, ergo infinitely trending, edges are brought together, a finite system results. It has two polar points and an equator. These are inherent and primary characteristics of all systems.”
