Thinkable System Take-out:
"Now I came a little while ago to discovering that any thinkable set that I’m considering is a set in which the sums of the angles around all these vertexes is always 720 degrees less than the numbers of the vertexes times 360. 720: that’s the sum of the angles of one tetrahedron. So I find the difference between this global thinkable set and 360 degrees, which would seemingly go to infinity, wouldn’t it?-- be a plane-- if there are 360 degrees around every point it really goes into a plane, then. So the difference between-- we’ll see what it looks to you and me, feels like-- infinity, or a plane. Take a piece of paper. I have to take out some angle to make it come back on itself. I find the amount of angle. If you strip off the skin of an animal, of a crocodile, or a giraffe, all in one piece. In order to be able to lay it out flat you have to keep cutting sinuses to keep it going out flat. You’ll find that the number of the angles will always be 720 degrees. When you put it back together again you take out the 720 degrees-- close them up. So I find that the difference between what seems to be infinity of a plane and a local conceptual set is one tetrahedron.
