About Lesson
Coordinate (Location and Navigation) vs. Definition of Shapes via Measurements.
Think of a Ship at Sea.
Think of a Room in your Home.
The Ship example:
- Begins at The Point of Origin.
- Can only be measured from The Point of Origin
- Can only be measured in One Direction.
- Contains Only Whole Numbers (Never Integers)
- Contains No Ledger Line
- Can only Measure Relativity in Progress, Distance, and Duration to Destination.
- Uses only Point of Origin, X-Axis (Current Location), Y-Axis (Destination)
- Cannot be relocated. It is a Coordinate, hence “What are your Coordinates?” which means, “Where are you?” and then we give our Latitude (X-Axis) and Longitude (Y-Axis) with the TIME that we will be there.
The Room Example:
- Begins at The Balance Center Point of 0
- Can be measured in 360 Degrees from 0.
- Can only be measured in All Direction.
- Contains Negative Numbers (Integers)
- Contains a Ledger Line
- Can only Measure Length, Width, and Height
- Uses only The X-Y-Z Grid
- Location is irrelevant and can be anywhere. The Measurements of a Basketball do not change regardless of its location.
The Ship Example is Location for Triangulation Purposes.
The Room Example is Definition to Give Shape To.
The Triangulation defines the Location of the Ship.
The Definition tells us the Measurements of the Room.
Dimension in the Abstract means “Place In Time Relative to The Constant (Truth).”
This is the only definition of “Dimension” that makes it over to the Abstract.
