He is speaking deeper than a metaphor. He is saying something like, can the line see a/the cube?
No, the line can not see a/the cube.
To the line, a two-dimensional shape is just another line, before we even approach the third dimension. This does not depend on angle or perspective either for that matter…
…but this is the “point” where I de-part.
Really? Proposing that a line can see anything is not a metaphor? Deeper than a metaphor? “Deeper” itself is a metaphor. You were using geometrical concepts to talk about something else. Using one kind of thing to talk about another could be the definition of metaphor. And what is that something else in this case? The One which must be logically beyond number.
As I said … “something like” … I was not attempting to upset anyone … perhaps the “transferable concept” and cross-application of “the concept” is too much for this topic … enough said.
I am hopeful that everyone’s day progresses well.
Lastly, yes, deeper than metaphor!
No, it’s a metaphor. Lines don’t literally see anything.
Yeah, man. I know what you are saying and I agree with it. I remain happy to keep my conceptual realms extended and the best part is I get to die without any of this making a difference to my life. You get to choose how you think and I remain happily unchanged by any of this. We would be wasting our time continuing. I am totally unswayed by anything that takes place on this forum at this point in time. In other words…
…it has all become a case of mind over matter id est I no longer mind because none of this actually matters to me.
