ABSTRACT
Emotions are usually described in terms which tend to stress the lack of delimitation of their contours and the lack of precision in their 'inside'. By a process of unfolding, thinking would come out from emotion and could be put in bi-univocal correspondence with a space of fewer dimensions, which would have emerged or would be a component of the higher-dimensional space corresponding to emotion. From the point of view of mathematics, three-dimensional space is just a system of co-ordinates in which three variables are at stake. There seems to be a strong tendency in man to identify real existence with volume, that is, with something which has three dimensions. The representation of a line on a piece of paper is really a volume, and if we make it thinner and narrower to approach the concept of line, it again tends to vanish from the sensory point of view; so does the point, a zero-dimensional space.
