The mystery of space : $b a study of the hyperspace movement in the light of the evolution of new psychic faculties and an inquiry into the genesis and essential nature of space
Browne, Robert T.
Hyperspace
MENTOGRAPH--A cognitive factor consisting of a complete perception
fused or in coalescence with a memory-image. Pure memory, of itself,
is without utility as an aid to cognition; but, when nourished or
supplemented by the substance of perception it becomes the basis of
intellectual consciousness.
METAGEOMETRY (Gr. Meta, beyond, transcending--geometry)--Commonly, any
kind of geometry that differs from the Euclidean, as the non-Euclidean;
a geometry based upon the assumption that the angular sum of a triangle
is greater or less than two right angles; the highest form of geometry;
a system of idealized mathematical constructions. Sometimes called
"pangeometry"; designated by GAUSS as "Astral Geometry"; the geometry
of hyperspace. It consists of results arrived at by geometers in
seeking a proof of the parallel-postulate.
META-SELF--The higher self in man; the universal self; the one self
of which all individual selves are but fragments or parts. In man, it
is coördinate with the omnipsyche (q.v.) and as such is the medium of
kosmic consciousness.
MORPHOGENY (Gr. Morphe, form, vehicle, body--geny, evolution)--The
evolution of forms, the production of individual bodies or vehicles
for life, including organs and faculties. Morphogenic--a derivative;
pertaining to morphogeny; a kosmic process (vide figs. 17 and 18).
_N_-DIMENSIONALITY--Quality of conceptual space by virtue of which it
may be regarded as possessing an indefinite number of dimensions.
NEAR-TRUTH--Any statement or view which is based upon partial
knowledge; predicates concerning a class or genus derived from limited
acquaintance with particulars of the class or genus; statements based
upon logical determinations inhering in idealized constructions and
applied to concrete or objective conditions; an abstraction viewed as a
reality; the application of the qualities of abstractions to realities.
NEUROGRAM--Psychologically, a movement received by the afferent
nerves in the form of a stimulation and transmitted through the brain
and efferent nerves as either a reflex or voluntary action; a nerve
impulse; a perception; a primary unit of intellectual consciousness;
cf. _Intuitogram_.
