The mathematician

- Aniere, do you have a method for measuring the Universe?
- Yes I do. I've found it. I can perform a mathematical operation with my calculating brain? I can see into the center of the Universe.

- Are you taking me for a ride? The surface of a sphere does not have any center.

- Well, a measure dimension of the Universe is the state of being combined with others to form a greater whole.

- What do you mean?
- You are the Universe. I am the Universe because we are a harmonious combination of different parts.

- Aniere, you are turning  my question around.
- No. I'm talking about Uni-verse. Uni-verse is not di-verse. Did you get that? It is made of elementary particles which are less complex than atoms.

- Are you implying that the measuring unit is the dimension of the elementary particle. As far as I know, the photon is not measured!

- The photon begins with the 16th letter of the greek alphabet!

- What are you messing with? What a rip-roaring conversation!

- That's only a ripple effect that ran through the Universe! The Universe is a related series of consequences set off by a single event. Can you imagine it, messing around with its constitutional consciousness?

- Aniere, I see that your mental faculties are fully active but your description of the Universe is not like cartesian coordinates.

- Cogito ergo sum. I'm talking about probabilities of transitions in a chain reaction. There are three sorts:

Physical
Chemical
Intellectual

- From where did you get that?

- Partly from a dictionary. The physical one is a self sustaining reaction in which the fission of nuclei produces particles that cause the fission of other nuclei.
The chemical one is a reaction that results in a product necessary for the continuation of the reaction.
The intellectual one is a series of events each of which is the result of a preceeding one.

So we come from the first one.
We are the second one .
We need the third which is our basic timing frame.

- Astounding, absorbing, engrossing! Are you talking about the three states of Universe?

- Let's go and see the child!
