Geometry test train, or maybe PTC, I didn't have a chance to ask as it went past. What a treat; ex-Q GP40, NXTrack test car plus two of BNSF track geometry cars. A great catch since I had no idea that it was coming.

Geometry rustic .... Geometria rustica ...
Eh pensare che a due passi ho trovato un camion vecchio operativo ...

I love the beautiful natural geometry of this lotus seed pod, spotted at Chadwick's greenhouse today.

Silver Geometry Project print #7
Printed on salted paper. The dark blue is cyanotype sensitiser made with brown ferric ammonium citrate; light blue is traditional cyanotype sensitizer made with green ferric ammonium citrate; dark brown is made with silver nitrate; golden brown is made with potassium dichromate; red is made by mixing silver nitrate with potassium dichromate.

The last rays of sunlight shining on this tree, already showing the first sprouts.
The first thought bubble emerging from the figure's mind is a loopy ring. A human child's first categories of the world are topological, not geometric (Jean Piaget *). This phase of evolutionary (species-level) and developmental (child-level) complexity is characterized by the inability to formalize topology beyond the immediate geometric forms found in nature.
The second thought bubble emerging from the figure's mind is the idea of a point. Defining a point implies defining the space the point exists within. Thus the innovation of the infinitesimal "point" relies upon the shadow-concept of a vast, or even infinite, "space". Think about it from the point of view of a RAM-limited verbally-combative chat bot: Without the "space" to make an argument (e.g. pass values into functions), how could it "make a point"?
The third thought bubble emerging from the figure's mind is a question: "Is the set of All points equidistant from some specified Point equivalent to a continuous 'Circle'?". The fourth thought bubble is the following trilema: What is a Point? What is a Circle? What is a continuous line? The fifth thought bubble is the immediately-obvious next developmental stage: Progressively more extreme abstractions to divine hypothesized or even merely possible types of relations among, for example, sets, categories, types, numbers, fields, networks, algebras, and grammars, and sentences and run on sentences and so on.
In the final panel, a compass traces out a circle (n.b. not a "Circle"). Experiments can reveal patterns that exist comfortably beyond the reach of theory. Seafarers we are, in this ocean of possible Geometries - the Compass is where we must find Direction. Each individual's compass is crafted by Evolution and tuned by local experience, leading to predictable temporal and spatial patterns of self-similarity of outcomes across idiosyncrasies (Peterson **). Chaotic systems, such as children, are apt to strongly diverge in their final logical stances when their axioms diverge only slightly (See: ZFC axiom of choice, or the Catholic "Great Schisms"). So how do we reconcile your compass and my compass, with your thought bubble and my thought bubbles? -- That so many humans can live together peacefully (***), is nothing short of a miracle.
