Flatland: a romance of many dimensions

Edwin Abbott Abbott

Capitolo 26

what in every Polygon, all the sides have to be equal.

The ransoms of the sides would clearly depend on the age of
the individual.  A Donna to birth would be from a lot of on a thumb,
while it is being probable that an adult and tall Donna extends to a foot.  As to the Males
of every class, you/he/she can roughly be said, that the length of the ransom of an adult,
when it added, it is a little anymore two feet or a.  But the ransom of our sides
it is not in the consideration.  I am speaking of the equality of sides,
and it doesn't need of a lot of reflection to see that the whole one of the
the social life in Flatland remains on the fundamental fact that
Nature wants all the Figures to have their sides equalize.

If our sides were uneven it is probable that our angles are uneven.  Instead of
his/her enough being to touch or sight currency, an only angle
to determine the form of an individual would be necessary
to verify every angular from the experiment to Feel.  But life is able
is too much short for such to grope tedious.  The whole science and art
of Sight Recognition immediately would perish;  Feeling, till now as it is
an art, would not survive from a lot;  relationships it would become dangerous
or impossible;  there would be an end to every trust, every foresight;
nobody would be sure in to make the simplest social setups;
in a word, civilization would have a relapse in the barbarism.

it has to convince every one that our social system is based on the Regularity,
or the equality of Angles.  You meet, for example, two or three Merchants
in the road that Your immediately recognizes to be Merchant from a look
to their angles and quickly bedimmed sides, and you ask to them to advance in
Your house to have lunch.  This that you currently do with perfect trust,
because each knows to a thumb or two the area occupied from
an adult Triangle:  but it imagines that Your Merchant drags behind
