What would happen if Shiki cut the lines underpinning the concept of geometry?

[Anonymous No.]

I don't think geometry is a concept.

Everything would turn into 2d, is that what you want to hear?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723077
how about killing the concept of love

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723100
But there wouldn't be any 2D. Or 1D.
Everything would collapse into 0 dimensions.

Jet Set Radio Future would be a lot less fun

I don't think Shiki knows what geometry is

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>1723111
I'm just telling him what he want to hear, not what would actually happen.

[Anonymous No.]

Shiki couldn't comprehend the lines for the concept of geometry as she wouldn't understand it.

She should've paid more attention in class then.

i'd pay more attention to her...;_;

We'd have to think in other geometries then. It's not like the Euclidean is the only one...

It will also make Saya look cute to everyone.

Yes, but the others originated from 'Let;s suppose a few statements from there do no work THAT way:What happens?'

If you take it out, suddenly those lose their origin.

Well, pizza is italian.
If we wiped Italy from the face of the world, pizza would still exist.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723297
Would it?
And not just be erasing the country (like NUke) but by deleting it's concept, you may also kill the ideas strictly tied to it. Snowball effect
Thankfully, pizza-like stuff has existed from LONG ago.

And geometry existed in ancient egypt, long ago, too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723315
Yes, but we are talking about erasing geometry itself.
At best, we may rediscover it.

[Anonymous No.]

What would happen if Shiki cut a line in the sky?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723323
The sky would bleed.
It was a cool scene in Marvel VS DC.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723322
Well, it's logic is pretty much inherent to the world, plus, it's so intimately bounded to mathematics we'd rediscover all of it in the span of a few decades or less.

What if Shiki cut the cancer?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1723332
Oh c'mon, can't we have a ridiculous thread once in a while?
What if Shiki cut your whining?
Would you be able to sage again?

[Anonymous No.]

Then it's back to the dark ages. One of the pillars of math disappears for us. It also means certain branches of physics and chemistry lose their origin. And without math/physics/chemistry, we would instead have religion classes in school.

...Don't do it.

It seems to me that the things (s)he is "cutting" are really creations of her own mind. That is to say, rather than something called "Bridge" existing explicitly and being somehow defined by the universe, it really only exists implicitly to human observers looking at it - as far as the universe is concerned, "Bridge" is just a certain area of space in which atoms are arranged in a way that is not particularly different to its surroundings.

So when Shiki "sees" the lines in an object, or "sees" the lines in a more abstract concept like "geometry" or whatever, she isn't seeing some undeniable universal truth. Instead, she is creating some kind of relationship between various objects, and then destroying that virtual relationship that she has created.

By extension, the effects of her destroying something are also decided by her own will - she creates an "object" or "relationship" in her mind, and then breaks it, causing an event that she sees as being an appropriate one for representing that break. Therefore, If she could somehow conceptualize something she calls "geometry", and then breaks it, the result would be related to what she believes "geometry" to be.

As she is still in school, and has shown no particular flair for mathematics, I would imagine that her concept of geometry is fairly crude: If she were to "cut" it, you'd probably see some confusing and unpleasantly lovecraftian results, such as pi being 3 and Pythagoras's law not holding, but nothing too earth-shaking.
