The protagonist of flatland; A romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott, A. Square is visited by a new denizen of three-dimensional space while incarcerated in prison.
Describe precisely in your paper the mathemical (geometrical/topological/combinatorial) properties of this new Visitor to Mr. A. Square in his prison cell. How would the mathematician. A square perceive or observe such a solid? That is, we must consider if the visitor from the Third Demension manifested to A. Square initially by eithr a vertex, edge, or a surface of its body. What would be the probable implications on the nature of three-dimensional space and its denizens that A. Square would form from such a manifestation? Please include in your paper on how or why Square’s worldviews or perspectives on matters mathematical and nonmathematical may or may not change (Example; Should Square still profess the “gospel of the three dimensions” to his fellow citizens of flatland? would he proclaim the same “gospel” or message? What if this new Visitor had a different “gospel” or commanded Square to preach another “gospel”? Is there another message possible by this new Visitor?)
