shapes and incoherent ramblings

Monday, April 09, 2007

So I noticed the street signs, driving today. I wondered why are they the shapes that they are and why do those shapes have the names they have. What are the shapes symbolic of? And I think: We are limited by geometry. We only have these certain shapes that we can see and they define our reality. What is outside these shapes? What's beyond the triangle? To escape geometry is to escape reality? A space ... your room. Inside this area imagine a transparent sphere inside of it. You cannot touch or see this sphere because you are limited to the 3 physical dimensions you are aware of. You aren't aware of this forth dimension or 5th or 6th...

Think of a stick man. He has length and width, but no depth. He can't turn his head around. He can only move right and left up and down. Think of the stick guy moving across a photograph of a street. All of this is still hard to imagine. Of course. We don't know any real person could survive with only two dimensions. You would be infinitely flat. But this stick guy is confounded to his 2 dimensional world. We are able to observe him, but he can't see us. I'll figure a good reason out why soon enough.

So that's kinda how this orb thing is. It possesses higher dimensions and can observe us because it can see in all the dimensions we can. We cannot see it because it exists on higher dimensions than we do. I believe these dimensions obviously aren't physical and are more spiritual. Within these is perhaps things such as thought and history and god.

This is based off of my own thoughts, some string theory stuff I've read before, and my wantingness to start a writing again.
