Twenty-Foot Earth Globe and 200-Foot Celestial Sphere: (6)

"ing their positions radially, i.e., vertically, inwardly to

register on the skins of both the whale and the crocodile and

on the 20-foot Earth globe. Now, with the human eye at the

common concentric centers of volume of the 20-foot and 200-foot

spheres, as well as both the whale and the crocodile, we may

sight outwardly-- which is inherently radially-- in all direc-

tions, and will observe that all the grids and all the geograph-

ical and celestial star data appear as one grid, being in exact

radial register. We have all the same grids and data on all

four of the concentric surfaces: 200-foot celestial sphere,

whale, crocodile, and 20-foot Earth globe. That registering of

all data is obviously independent of radial distance from the

common center; ergo, the only variable in the system is the

radius to any given point within the concentric systems.

"As we have demonstrated with geodesic domes and spheres, what

is meant by compound curvature is 'omni-intertriangulated struc-

turing (i.e., balanced connectors) of concave-convex surface

points'. Given a unit radius sphere and the known central

angle between any two radii of known length, then the length of

the chord running between their outer ends may be calculated

by trigonometry by running a line from the sphere center per-"
