RBF DEFINITIONS
Air Space:

"While earliest hunting men were linear, agricultural/_and
trade-center colonizing men began to deal in planes. The
crisscross, right-angle grid of the 'plane' is apparent in
civil and agrarian law. A realistic geometric progression
is disclosed in the transformings of legal evolution.
Building vertically as he became crowded, three-dimensionality
entered man's law governing, for instance, multiple
occupancy buildings, and the like. Now legal prospecting
attempts to deal statically (and futilely) with dynamical
fourth-dimensionality air space, outer space, and so forth.
"Here the laws of man will have to conform eventually with
Einstein's relativity, which will bring about an omnidynamical
symmetry marriage of social and natural law. The airs flow
continually around the Earth, so the air above any one
point does not stay there. Because of the Earth's revolutions
and orbiting, as well as the other estronomical motions,
geometrical relationships continually change above any point
on Earth. Ergo, neither the air nor the starry ffame of
reference remains the same. So we ask what the properties
are of their 'air space' which men, cities, and nations.
assert to have been violated. How violate nonexistence?"
