God’s Hand in Flatland

August 18th, 2007 Fred McVittie Posted in Flatland, God, Hand, Space |

A 3D object, say a sphere, in a 2d space would appear as act of magic, appearing and disappearing as if from nowhere and apparently contravening all the known laws of 2 dimensional physics. A more complex object, a human hand for example, would appear not as a single object but as a number of separate, disconnected entities, each finger appearing alone (in cross-section as a rough circle). However, there would be interaction, communication, and apparent communion between these entities. The appearance would be of distinct, individual, intentional interacting entities.
