ABSTRACT
The scope of the linealogy subject is wonderfully broad, for it includes walking, weaving, observing, singing, storytelling, drawing and writing. Just as the authors' linealogy calls for a concept of the line that exceeds the narrowly geometric, however, so the meteorology that he need to complement it will require a concept of the atmosphere that likewise goes beyond the metrics of ambient geospace. There is indeed a connection between the reductions of mathematical geometry and of scientific meteorology. Both are premised on the logical operation that the author have called 'inversion', by which the pathways of growth and movement along which life is lived are converted into boundaries within which it is contained. In the whirligig world of organisms and storms, there are only coils or spirals, dynamically sustained formations in the current of life that continually run into and out of one another in the very processes of their generation and dissolution.
