ABSTRACT

It seems to me that past, present, and future must be active in the mind’s interior as a continuum. If they are not, the artifacts we make will be without temporal depth and associative perspective. My concern with the ultimate human validity of divergent, often seemingly incompatible concepts of space and incidental or circumstantial solutions found during past ages in different corners of the world is to be understood in the light of the above. Time has come to reconcile them; to gather the essential meaning divided among them.1
