Philosophy Talk


If you want to hear more discussion of domes and stuff, and experimentation with new prototypes, you'd do well to help us converse about some neutral mathematical matters.

How shall we talk about this Quadray Coordinate System (QCS)? Shall we say it has four "basis vectors"?

If you're into linear algebra already, either learning the lingo or teaching it, you might appreciate this opportunity to emphasize what we mean by such concepts as "dimension" and "linear independence".

Different angles and different systems remind us of "possibilities" i.e. the feasibility of moving in some direction based on new horizons opened up by new language games (Wittgenstein).
