140 THOUGHT-LINES AND -SURFACES. 



fore, as well as Form, an Abstract Domain. A 

 repeats a Point, a Sum of Units repeats an Aggregation 

 of Points ; both of these may be representative of an 

 Aggregation of Things, as of Stars, for instance, in the 

 Heavens ; but the moment we make this Real appli- 

 cation of them, we have gone over from the Abstract 

 to the Concrete Domain. 



168. Between any two Units in a Sum, between the 

 separate Units in the Number Two, for instance, there 

 is an almost imperceptible Thought-line, which con- 

 nects them together, and makes them into a Sum. This 

 Thought-line repeats the Geometrical Line as reaching 

 from one Point to another in Space. If three Units 

 are held in the mind connectedly, and at the same 

 time, they are necessarily in the same Thought-plane ; 

 that is to say, there is a filmy -surface in the mind's 

 perception, in which the three points lie, of which we 

 are ordinarily unconscious, but which can be brought out 

 by Close Reflection; as the picture upon a daguer- 

 reotype plate is developed by a chemical process. 

 Through the existence of these very Attenuated or Ab- 

 stract Thought-lines, and Thought- Surf aces, intervening 

 among the Units of Number, there is an exact Echo of 

 Likeness (hitherto occult), between The Elements, or 

 Least and Lowest Components, of Number and the 

 known Elements of Form. It is here that an exact 

 Analogy between The Two Grand Departments of the 

 Mathematics the Geometrical, and the Abstract (the 

 Calculus) takes origin, a n Analogy which Universology, 

 in its Scientological or Ejcact Branch, dcvelopes into (in 

 immense new science of Symbolic Morphology, and Deter-
