So you begin to ask some of your own questions. Now is the time to begin an investigation - to try your hand at cosmic fishing. An Introduction to Synergetics by Kirby Urner Synergetics is a 'geometry of lumps' in which even points occupy volume, however infinitesimal. All objects in synergetic topology have the same dimensional characteristics. Nor are 'perfect solids' ever defined.
Every surface is permeable.
With a few high powered animations and some hands-on model making, kids would have all this stowed away in no time. With this basic toolkit absorbed, it's easier to navigate in the structured worlds of virology, chemistry, crystallography, even cartography. A lot more of the curriculum finds a foothold, once the concentric hierarchy is firmly anchored. The chemistry teacher down the hall will have a much easier time discussing the allotropes of carbon with students already so well prepared. Using TV, the internet, and film, it should be possible to communicate this primary level information quickly to a fairly large and global audience.
