the purpose of this

"backwards" takes you to a list of all the pages on this site...."forwards" enables you to make a new page if you so desire....and "the purpose of this" is a sample from the book 'dissolvingpath: indications on not-knowing nothing". click on the picture to get to the next page.....

in case it's not obvious, the actual page bit is below this, you might have to scroll down...

 

circles-horizons


a reason why it is perhaps good to live at least part of ones life surrounded by mountains....

                      in this geographical environment it is possible to mistake clouds for mountains

                             OR

                      at least be aware that you can never be sure and therefore just enjoy the beauty in the midst of uncertainty about where the physical world ends and the constantly changing world of weather begins

which perhaps

suggests some interesting things about the nature of horizons/things at the limits of our vision/comprehension

                            ----the feeling/idea that we live in a spherical dome as being caused by the nature of the horizon  ---- i.e. the idea itself, the concept of a spherical dome, is an expression of the concept of a horizon.

**********the entire concept of curvature or circular is the spatial manifestation of the limits of understanding......********for example, curved space.......pi, as the expression of the un-understandable consequences of the notion of a circle

THE DOME CAN NEVER BE COMPLETE, THERE IS ALWAYS A HORIZON....if there were a flat earth sky, what would it proceed into, what is at the edge of 'space'........IT ALL ASSUMES A HORIZON

so what does this make the relationship between curvature and aesthetic beauty...straightness and comprehension? art = mystery = circle
