I'm sure there exists a limited number of Forms that define a basketball, so it would not be infinite. As in most analogies, it's not perfect. Another notable shortcoming is a definition of the space between horizontal lines (distances between Forms would be a frivolous consideration).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309498850348015832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-80498627352397819492014-09-15T13:22:27.169-05:002014-09-15T13:22:27.169-05:00I greatly appreciate the math nerd spin you put on...I greatly appreciate the math nerd spin you put on this. I agree with your idea that the basketball (green graph) results only in limited knowledge of each form because it only intersects each form at a single point. However, can you please explain why the basketball is considered infinite (indicated by the arrow on the green graph)? Is it because the basketball intersects an infinite number of forms?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542451487249158028noreply@blogger.com
