Mostly Housekeeping
At last I have completed a quick round of dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s; checking that links to and from my posts (working documents) and pages (latest versions of chapters) are working, and that they are all nicely categorised and tagged (to help with navigation – both within the website and for visitors from outside).
I was surprised just how many posts and pages I had written. However, my aims are ambitious – I may know more than most people on the book’s many subject areas – but I would not consider myself an expert in any one of these, except perhaps the last of Wim Holleman’s biological transmutation experiments. Nevertheless, over the course of many years of study I have built up a breadth of knowledge which I hope will be sufficient to attempt this task.
Each chapter now has at least a few words associated with them. My next task is to decide:
- Whether to complete an initial draft of the first chapter, to give a visitor to this website a feeling of my writing style (and pictures);
- or, to continue my in-depth study of Nick Thomas’ ‘Space and Counterspace‘ books?
Nick Thomas’ projective geometry research forms one of the key chapters of this book. It is also the most technically challenging. As yet I am uncertain how this chapter will be constructed; it is possible that it will require to be spread across multiple chapters; an introduction to projective geometry; the ethers and elements; the ‘true’ nature of the ‘atom’ (or at least my understanding of the concepts of Steiner and Thomas). Earlier chapters may also need modifying to introduce some of the required concepts as gently as possible.
However, since the main purpose of this website is to introduce readers to at least the possibility (dare I say probability) of a book, I think I should make a start on the first chapter first!
