"Space came to be seen as consisting of lines which were either parallel or elliptical. From these ideas, ways of thinking which related to disciplines of study emerged (for example, mapping and geography, measurement and geometry, motion and physics). These distinctions are generally part of a taken-for-granted view of the world.

Mathematics has constructed a language which attempts to define with absolute exactness the parameters, dimensions, qualities and possibilities of space..." Linda Tuhiwai Smith
