The Shape of Things

Metaphysical Geometry

Curiosity, the case with no model behind it

A stance taken from a novel. Not tested, and labelled as such. What it does not establish is set out below.

She is pure seeing with none of the cost.

Heath sees shapes and pays for it in scrutiny. Amaleto tests and pays for it in exhaustion. Curiosity is correct every single time and it means nothing, because correctness that was never doubted isn't a finding. She is the book's null hypothesis walking around on four legs — the standing argument for why Amaleto's half of the work has to exist at all.

From the author's character file for Curiosity, not from the manuscript.
