    A Question about Topological Connectivity

    I am not a Mathematician, and I've been pondering this idea for years. I will try to describe it intelligibly. Imagine a Ring. It has three "Inputs" and three "Outputs". Any of the three "Outputs" takes you to a different Ring with three Entrances and three Exits. You cannot return to the...

    What is the term for a linear equation that does not lie in a single plane?

    ...Sorry. I think that my terminology was once more precise; but it has been many years since I had a formal class; and I've gotten a bit- well more than a bit- careless with my terminology. ...I've always been fascinated by higher math; despite the fact that I'm not very good at it. I have...

    What is the term for a linear equation that does not lie in a single plane?

    ...I mean like a hyperbola; parabola; bell curve; and a great many meandering curves all lie in one plane; and can be described with a 2-D; X-Y coordinate system. Now picture a parabola where at some point the line veers off rather abruptly into the Z axis- always a line- not a plane; plane...

    What is the term for a linear equation that does not lie in a single plane?

    ...Can someone refresh my memory; what do you call a linear equation that does not lie in a single plane? Can you give me an example; or two? I come across the term in passing; in a book on Linear equations; that brought them up only to say that it wouldn't be covering them. I don't have the...

    Is Chi an Actual Force in Our Bodies and Surroundings?

    You have a point there. Beliefs may be true; false; or so poorly defined as to be meaningless. I think you'd have to define it semantically; then determine how you'd translate into Physics terminology. Then again, hypotheticlly Chi might exist; despite the fact that none of its users had a true...

    Is Chi an Actual Force in Our Bodies and Surroundings?

    My first post- a good forum; by the way. I think y'all got off to a very poor start; and consequently have been floundering ever since. Is there a such thing as "Chi"? That is equivalent to asking: "Is there a such thing as 'Vital Energy'?" What in the hell are we talking about...
