Euklid's Last Flight

The ladder (often used to represent ascension to Heaven) goes up

to the space where three flat Euclidian planes converge in that

corner. Euclidian space is OK for this kind of description of nature, 

if I recall, and according to Einstein's General Theory, is applicable

quite accurately where gravity is WEAK. In stronger gravitation

(and IN REALITY), Euclidian space is a convenient fiction sort of 

like the Newtonian universe. Euclid has collapsed upon the realization

of the inadequacy of his geometry and axioms -- he has "ascended"

by collapsing into the unimaginably strong gravity of a black hole

of consciousness and he has left us a slightly distorted symbol

of the singularity at the top of the ladder. A vestigial image of an 

egg followed by a 2-dimensional representation of the singularity

(the dot) with the universe it defines (the circle). This is really

about dimensions, then, and Euclid's last flight was both FLYING

and FLEEING.
