Narrative Intelligence sources live outside the figurative image sequence ladder. Adaptive placement applies to image sequences, not this reading library.
What this book knows
Mathematical discovery is not logic alone but unconscious selection guided by aesthetic instinct and the beauty of hidden relations.
mind-and-cognition
A host of ideas kept surging in my head; I could almost feel them jostling one another, until two coalesced to form a stable combination.
VLA-C521140E-RC-027As I was crossing the street, the solution of the difficulty which had brought me to a standstill came to me all at once.
VLA-C521140E-RC-028The only facts worthy of our attention are those which introduce order into this complexity and so make it accessible to us.
VLA-C521140E-RC-013work-as-meaning
Discovery is discernment, selection. Mathematical facts worthy of study are those which reveal unsuspected relations between facts long wrongly believed unrelated.
VLA-C521140E-RC-026The true geometrician makes this selection guided by a sure instinct, or by some vague consciousness of a profounder and more hidden geometry.
VLA-C521140E-RC-086education-and-formation
We must give attention to the art of exact reasoning from the beginning; we must not let geometry degenerate into low-grade tachymetrics.
