visiting EA Abbott's Flatland

Last post, i shared an incomplete preview page to accompany an article professor Morna McDermott wrote incorporating some of my work on flatness. Now I've got a complete segment of pages, that comprise the first half of the interlude spanning Chapters One and Two. They pick up the themes of the first chapter, but start to move towards what can we do - which is the work of Chapters Two onward... I've always loved Edwin A. Abbott's classic Flatland - from a mathematical and philosophical standpoint - and as my work is on unflattening - it seemed more than appropriate to include it. I'm quite pleased with how it synchs up and bolsters where i'm going with the narrative. Thanks - Nick
