he warp drive metrics, in a Cartesian type coordinate chart   
are given by the line element:
X, Y, and Z are the components of a
 vector field defined in Euclidean 3-space.
 This is a function of the coordinates.

Premium Member A memory

High school math class, November Twenty Second Nineteen Sixty Three:
the news had just broken from Dallas.

The teacher stands at the blackboard demonstrating 
a geometric theorem; chalk clicking white against black
as she works through the meticulous Euclidean logic
with tears running down her face

Sometimes life itself writes a poem.

On The Strip

I have bought in boutiques
on Carnaby street,
stopped in stores galore
on the Champs-Élysées,
shopped 'til I dropped
on Madison Avenue,
and, what's more,
I've been seen to arrive,
fashionably late, on Rodeo Drive,
but one thing I hate,
and doubt I'll see, or there'll ever be,
as there's not much call,
for a linear row of shops downtown,
in a small Möbius strip mall.

Tho' Johann B. Listing (1808 – 1882),
rediscovered the non-orientable surface first,
Mr. August F.Möbius (1790 – 1868)
published his findings earlier and, well-versed,
Euclidean geometry taught he,
while, his wife, Dorothea, danced provocatively,
in pole position, at a nightclub naughty,
and, where out at night, on a fun day trip,
paying punters paid to ogle and view,
the ever-arousing Mrs. Möbius strip.


Lux

forty years late for death
uprisings toppled civilizations without hurting my eyes
at the apex of the vortex and inside this antechamber and shelter
the euclidean dome engine where i move the galaxy
I sweep the creation with the neural scanner
around here I became brutish and for each failure
I adapted the respective lie
I've been layering things for a long time
solid blocks of ghostly mist
but complacent with the physiology of what is organic
I know it's time to disappear into the pale palace of time
the vacuum unfolds like a three-dimensional ball of wool
each house of heat rises and blasts the stars
the dark and infinite field of the universe spews flames
quasar beams build the checkered web
where I'll be stuck while I die.

Forest Abandon

. for public domain

Each direction I turn,
each way I cast my eye,
giant Sequoias pierce the sky.

In the immensity
I dissolve, like raindrops
blend into an ocean,

not Euclidean points
in an infinite space,
but flesh to bark and leaf.


Alternate last line:
flesh to root, and bark, and leaf.

Irrefutable and Irreputable

Numerical value of irreputable in Chaldean Numerology is 3. 
Numerical value of irreputable in Pythagorean Numerology is 1.

In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as             Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean             geometry among the      three sides of a right triangle. This
states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite 
the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the                        other two sides. A Sq = B Sq plus C Sq.

Square root of three (3) is George Washington's Birthday
which is 1.732.

Matter of perfection is irreputable;
As well as being highly irrefutable;
Way we want,
In each hunt,
That has become so very beautiful.

Hip Hop Shine

Past the second light,aboard a ship am drifting
Feeling elated I need a minute to let it all sink in
If the crown  fits I will line mine with pearls
Take a trip to Utopic Islands just to get my cereal outta farms
High_grade bud and tantalizing rum
I feel queasy flimsy,if am sick its the whisky cheating
Lets go far from here a place with no hurt or fear
I need freedom for a while, not mere wishful thinking,perception or dreams
Nothing imagined is real
We don't need simulation to make whips spin a rim
My goal is to make mankind supreme delight
Notta buncha snitches n rats
My artistry was sculpted  from ancient Egyptian Vines
Made to last in a mummified extension of euclidean signs
If hanging the verse by double rhymes will bring justice to musicality then I will guillotine a chapter in style
Sex a whole clan of verbs just to make my point heard symmetrically

Beyond the Grid

1.

Whenever the truest edge doesn’t hold,
Another existence it does belie.
When causality is a broken line,
Unseen variable has cracked the mold.

Simple cause and effect gets in trouble
Abstruse patterns underlie life’s events.
Straight Euclidean angles and tangents
Reveal deep truth when they twist and bubble.

Infinite weaving of the light and dark,
That from which all matter derives its form, 
That from which all shades and colors are born,
Folding, animated by unseen spark:

Zero Point made of unbound potential.
Infinity in nothing, essential.

2.

A cause contains more than it alleges.
If all you can see are random events,
Assume that it must be coincidence
Occam’s razor it seems has two edges

The surface, outer manifestation
The solid, visible three dimensions
Concentrate, more enters your attention:
Substance beyond the realm of sensation.

Bursting through material pretension,
What unimaginable things are hid
Beyond the visible Cartesian grid
To unfold from another dimension?

The depth remains unseen, passes us by
Except in dreams, when the mind’s eye can fly.

Premium Member When Parallel Lines Meet

OK then, it’s really a postulate
Which means that it cannot be proven
Instead is, now this you may rue,
Just fact that’s “supposed” to be true.
But let my math brain try to formulate
If right, then what sense can be woven?

Ideas that wind up emerging are 
Quite new though they may be of interest.
It seems that Euclidean rules
Are not really much more than tools
And Spherical theorems like caviar
Can make your mind spin like a tourist.

In this foreign landscape the rules say that
Straight lines cross, their birthright declaring
And claim to be all parallel
Which seems to me some kind of hell
With no by your leave, waiting turn to bat
They touch more than once without caring.

With straights now curvaceously singular
They too now can play with each other 
Great circles that can’t go alone
Propinquity so overblown
Might kinkiness turn them all angular?
Or sameness make them ask why bother?
