331. This says a lot about creationist theology. (330)

332. A point, as defined by classical Euclidean Geometry, has no dimension (length, width, depth). It has only a location defined by its coordinates relative to a point of origin. For the moment, let us assume this is true in tetrahedronal geometry as well.

333. Any point in Euclidean Geometry may be the origin of an axial system designating  six directions—north, south, east, west, up, and down. (or x+, x-, y+, y-, z+, and z-) In tetrahedronal geometry, any point may also be an origin described by only four coordinates. For convenience, left, right, forward, and up. (x+, y+, z+ and t)

334. Any point may be observed from any direction ( in either system). Thus any point may be a definition of any and all directions.

335. The point which is the center of a sphere lies in every direction from the surface. Every perpendicular to the surface passes through the center point.

336. The “four corners of the earth” spoken of frequently in mythology and folk lore, are commonly interpreted as being the four points of the compass. But, while north and south are clearly defined by our poles, there is no such “corner” that is either east or west. The Euclidean system would require six corners rather than four.

337. The tetrahedronal approach to this question would assume that the origin of our system lies somewhere near the center of our roughly spherical globe. The four spatial axes would originate from this point. If north is considered as our constant, then the other three directions or corners of the earth would be definable points lying on a parallel at or somewhere below the Tropic of Capricorn.

338. Various sources have discussed “inner space” and “outer space” as two alternatives for exploration which are equally limitless. It may be a reasonable suggestion that our concepts of “inside” and “outside” are reversed.

339. That space that I define as inside my body is all that I can see, hear, feel, smell, touch. What is “inside” is defined by my senses (or perhaps an extension of them). What is outside is that which pumps my blood, that which supplies me with thoughts, that which propels and which motivates me.

340. Thus, the entirety of the universe is finite, defined by and contained within my senses. True infinity lies only on the outside—my mind, my soul, my imagination.

Editor’s Note: What Wesley continues to dance around, but never openly declares, is that tetrahedronal geometry actually assumes four finite points of origin “out there somewhere” against which all points are defined. He searches for an absolute that lies outside the observable from which the distance to all points can be measured. In Wesley’s world, it is assumed that this absolute (even four absolutes) is defined as God.
