"closed line is definable, valid, calculatable, and useful. Why is this so? Because the plane outside the bound area leads in all lateral directions away to infinity and, therefore, is undefinable. On the inside of the boundary line was definability, finity. On the outside was only undefinability, infinity. The ‘Ins’ were reliable. The ‘Outs’ were dangerously unpredictable.
“Only the phenomenon on one side of the line was valid. So there is your taught-in bias of all the world around’s schooled society. The outlaws and the in-laws. I am okay. You? My family in; yours out. Our Town … ‘The damned foreigners,’ etc. Now we at least know theoretically that both sides of the line are valid.”
