Greetings

Today i was watching this video were Cliff Stoll shows that by defining a square as a figure with similar sides and 90° angles, he can form a 3 sided and a 5 sided "square".

On his demonstration the result is a figure that protrude outside the 2d space, "which, correct me if i'm wrong, can't be called a square anymore by common definition, since its not a polygon".

So, depending on the "dimension" of the observation, a previous definition of a concept can be proven insufficient.

This got me thinking about how we tend to establish a well defined and solid conceptualization of who we are,what are our ethics of conduct and what we are doing for the well being of our peers, families, and species and how it seems to work well in general.

But, being the possibility that our perception of the great scheme of existence is incomplete, our conceptualizations might be terribly unfitting or inadequate for such purposes, hence the complications we have been facing throughout history.

Do you think that for us humans the conquest of dimensionality, it's an attainable goal, in the pursue of our balance with the medium we live in?

please let me know if you have any important reference on this topic.
