Here's a proposition:
Using the numbers 1-12 as units without referencing any of the myriad
measuring systems, calculate as a ratio the surface area relative to
volume of, cube, sphere and rectangular solid. Do each of the three
for each number then graph the 3 series of results
and overlay them. Pay special attention to the number 6.
When you are finished tell me if this is true: As an object enlarges
its surface area relative to its volume decreases.
Any limits on shape?

Lemme rephrase. As an object enlarges while retaining its original
shape its surface area relative to its volume decreases.
now reconsider each shape, except, this time, when calculating your
surface vs volume theory (comparing spheres vs cubes and whatnot),
base each comparative calculation with one variable being constant:
set the volume of each respective shape equal to infinity.

i was having this strange dream last night.
and the gist was that there really are no
differences between squares and circles and
whatnot.
and while i was dreaming, it all seemed so clear.
but now? it just seems like a bunch of nonsense.
though not entirely.
