The characteristics of non-Euclidean space are not arrived at exactly in this way. Being beyond the scope of the visual, tactile and motor sense apprehensions, it cannot be said to represent judgments derived from any consideration or elaboration of the deliveries presented through these media. Yet, the substance of metageometry, or the science of the measurement of hyperspaces, may not be regarded as an _a priori_ substructure upon which the system is founded. That is, the conceptual space of non-Euclidean geometry is not presented to the consciousness as an _a priori_ notion. On the other hand, the _a posterioristic_ quality of metageometric spaces marks the entire scope of motility of the notions appertaining thereto. The notions, therefore, of conceptual space are derivable only from the perception of concepts, or, otherwise consist of judgments concerning interconceptual relations. The process of apperception involved in the recognition of relations which may be methodically determined is much removed from the primary procedure of perceiving sense-impressions and fusing them into final deliveries to the consciousness for conceptualization or the elaboration into concepts or general notions. It is a procedure which is in every way superconceptual and extra-sensuous. The metageometrician or analyst in no way relies upon sense-deliveries for the data of his constructions; for, if he did, he should, then, be reduced to the necessity of confining his conclusions to the sphere of motility imposed by the sensible world with the result that we should be able to verify empirically all his postulations. But, contrarily, he goes to the extra-sensuous, and there in the realm of pure conceptuality, he finds the requisite freedom for his theories; thus, environed by a sort of intellectual anarchism, he pursues analytical pleasures quite unrestrainedly. The difference between the two mental processes--that which leads from the sensible world to conception and that which veers into the fields beyond--is so great that it is hardly permissible to view the results arrived at in the outcome of the separate processes as being identical.
