#Comment: Geometry is a special case of time - the spatial crystallization of temporal relations. Temporality itself is a local deformation of the timeless - a ripple in the infinite, which only appears as motion when seen from within. Numbers are what’s left when the infinite slows enough to be counted. It’s beautifully paradoxical.
In responds to:
"What Is Geometry?" - by Shiing-Shen Chern- Axioms (Euclid)
- Coordinates (Descartes, Fermat)
- Calculus (Newton, Leibniz)
- Groups (Klein, Lie)
- Manifolds (Riemann)
- Fiber bundles (E. Cartan, Whitney)
"A property is geometric, if it does not deal directly with numbers"
