Now for an exemplification of that medium of invention
which is a medium of effectuation. It is borrowed from the
first of the Proposition which presents itself in themselves in Euclid's
Elements of Geometry. It is Standing as it does in need of
a medium of effectuation, it is what is called a in contradistinction
to a Theorem, a Problem.
To constitute an equilateral triangle upon a given finite
right lines. In Slim's translation, these are words of it.
Of these words one word is much worse then useless:
its tendency is — not to its sure effect is - to involve the
of a beginner in a dark cloudd. Whoever saw an infinite
right line? what must is there — what use is then an
the exception thus applied? in saying to the pupil — "Ment —
I what I am going to enable to do it — not to constitute
"an equilateral triangle upon an infinite right line: how a
"case of mistakes"
The cases - that while writing them, that which Euclid
had in his head was that idea of infinity with which on so
man occasion he had been in an it had been his to puzzle himself
as if it had been a positivethe pre of thing! whereas it is cutting but
the idea of the absence or non-existence — absence — partial or
universal - from a plan or form places of the
peculiar thing in question. The exp
had in his mind this idea: but in the ofno pupil into
this proposition is put for the first time any such such
idea as that of infinity be present.
