The, "Fourth Dimension", is considered at least two things,
and one of them is a perspective dimension of free thought,
and the other is a perspective dimension of analytical book-keeping,
then though some have it that the absurd and ludicrous/ridiculous/
incredible follow after "Ex Falso Quodlibet", which others have
as repulsive and rejected because instead there's "Ex Falso Nihilum".

So, after Newton and "System of the World", it was also used to
help abandon and reject notions like "natural order" and other
matters of repressive fate or destiny, so, that logicist positivism
became the central underpinning of 20'th century philosophy,
falling adrift from teleology and determinism into the
existentialist/nihilist neither-nor.

So anyways the "forget what you know" bit can go stuff itself,
then there are matters of how mathematics can yet fulfill,
the things the theory, with as well some renewed teleological
metaphysics (not necessarily theological, merely a minimal
teleological), the teleological and ontological, as with
regards to that the theory belongs to the philosophers,
which as thinking beings you aspire to know or be.

Then, with regard to space-time curvature, besides the
"singularity" as asymptotic the infinity, it's more
generally for singularity theory that it's multiplicity
theory. The singularities / catastrophes / perestroikas ,
are each merely branches in multiplicity theories.

So, ..., the "spiral, space-filling curve", has,
curvature: 1/R. So, being a sort of singularity
and original itself, then it is the natural curvature
of the gauge theory's "R-gauge".


Then as with regards to modern philosophy and the
associated logic, there's mostly that the deductive
inference is a fuller completion and that any
good, relevant logic is a relevance logic and modal.

So, "Foundations" needs some fixing thoroughly.
