I'm going to create a big text file for this Hut idea. Just copied urls,
commentaries, bibliographies, quotes, hopefully numbers too.

I was hoping those numbers and degrees were site-specs, but they damn sure
are site-relation related, tricky ass little numbers.

A good bot could barf out like a million buildable specs/plans/budgets per
hour.

Buck the almighty should be on the flyers–"does this look like a nice park
to walk in?"

Any urban designers around? Like civil engineers and experts about
loadbearing cantilevers, but it's all basic shit. Real damn basic.

Sewer, heat, electric included–a city of craft and art, a crossing.

"Do they blow up into funny shapes at all? No, just circular."

If we become more ambitious and stick our fingers and arms
through Flatland, the Flatlanders would only see circles of
flesh that hover around them, constantly changing shape and
merging into other circles. And lastly, if we fling a Flatlander
into our three dimensional world, the Flatlander can only see
two dimensional cross sections of our world, i.e. a phantasmagoria
of circles, squares, etc. which constantly change shape and merge.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, in The Brothers Karamazov, had his protagonist
Ivan Karamazov speculate on the existence of higher dimensions and
non-Euclidean geometries during a discussion on the existence of
God. In H. G. Wells' The Invisible Man, the source of invisibility
was his ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Oscar Wilde
even refers to the fourth dimension in his play The Canterville
Ghost as the homeworld for ghosts.
