Listen! This sentence's period - that's me. I'll just move one inch to my right, you see. ------>. Now, I trace a one-inch segment of a line. It's my one-dimensional redesign. Watch me trace my line segment down from there, producing what some folks might call a...

Whilst algebra for many is so poorly understood At school I put the effort in and I became quite good Three apples being equal to a carrot and two pears Was obvious, for camels are a donkey and two hares A bicycle without a wheel was equal to a boat But take away an apple and you’ve got a mountain...

Ships sail on the surface between sky and ocean, water and air. People toil and play, live and die on the surface between sky and globe, air and earth. These two surfaces meet in a curving line under the sun, and when the world turns over, under the moon. At points along this line, across the dimension of time, pairs of eyes employ binocular vision to...
