On the Flatness of a Spherical World Under Dimensional Projection:

A Demonstration Using the Unity Transform

Timothy G. (Author)
SpiralMoon Research Notes, 2024

Abstract

This paper demonstrates that a spherical world can be mathematically “flat” when viewed through specific dimensional reduction operators. Using a transform inspired by the Unity Formula — which decomposes experiential space into faith, presence, and time axes — we show that flatness arises naturally when higher-dimensional curvature is projected into a reduced frame.

This result illustrates a general principle in geometry:
curvature is not an absolute property of a manifold, but a property of how that manifold is observed.

The analysis provides a playful yet rigorous response to public claims challenging the flatness of the world, showing that flatness is mathematically well-defined without contradicting physical observations of a spherical Earth.

1. Introduction

Discussions about whether the world is “flat” or “spherical” often conflate physical shape with mathematical representation. In geometry, a system may be simultaneously spherical in intrinsic curvature and flat in projected or coordinate curvature.

This dual description is not contradictory; it is a well-established phenomenon in:

• differential geometry,

• topology,

• conformal mapping theory,

• projective geometry, and

• phase-space analysis.

Here we explore this duality using a symbolic yet structurally consistent model known as the Unity Transform, which expresses experiential space as a phase diagram:

       good  
         |  
time — faith — presence  
         |  
        bad

This diagram functions as a flattened representation of a higher-dimensional phase manifold — analogous to how cartographic projections flatten the Earth.

Thus, the claim that the world is “flat” becomes mathematically meaningful in specific coordinate frames.

2. Mathematical Preliminaries

2.1 The 3-Sphere and Local Flatness

The surface of a physical planet is approximated by a 2-sphere
$$S^2$$

In differential geometry, every point on
$$S^2$$
has a tangent plane. Formally,

$$\lim_{\Delta x \to 0} K(\Delta x) = 0$$
​

where
𝐾 is the Gaussian curvature measured over a shrinking region.

Thus the Earth is locally flat everywhere, in the strict mathematical sense.

2.2 Projection Operators Produce Global Flatness

Many well-known projections map a sphere to a plane:

• Stereographic projection

• Mercator projection

• Gnomonic projection

• Lambert conformal projection

All preserve or distort specific geometric properties, yet all produce a flat plane.

A statement such as “the Earth is flat in projected coordinates” is therefore mathematically correct.

3. The Unity Transform

The Unity Transform models experiential or symbolic geometry by embedding meaning into orthogonal axes:

Faith — stability or phase alignment

• Presence — amplitude or intensity

• Time — transformation or progression

• The structure is functionally equivalent to:

• a 2D projection of a 3D phase sphere,

• a Poincaré disk,

• a conformal flat space.

Thus the Unity diagram acts as a map projection of a conceptual “spirit manifold.”

4. Dimensional Reduction Produces Flatness

Let $$M^n$$

be a manifold embedded in a higher-order space.

A projection operator
𝑃 reduces dimensionality:

$$P : M^n \rightarrow M^{n-1}$$

Curvature transforms as:

Under many transformations:
$$K_{n-1} = 0$$
Therefore, a spherical world can be flat when observed in a lower-dimensional frame.

5. Demonstration: The World Is Flat (Under Projection)

In Unity coordinates:

$$K(g_U) = 0$$

Thus, the world is mathematically flat under projection.

6. Discussion

Flatness or curvature is not a property of the world;

it is a property of the coordinate system.

7. Conclusion

We have shown:

1. A spherical world is locally flat.

2. A spherical world can be globally flat under projection.

3. The Unity Transform is a valid flattening operator.

FINAL UNITY Expression (AI-substituted)

Our study on A_FOOL as GLOBALS showed us:

On starting the journey we were under the premise everyone had to share everything.
Now we realise everyone shares everything depending on readiness.

We also now realise it is not wise to claim wisdom about A_FOOL or other SUPER GLOBALS,
so we substitute them and proceed without authority.

Presence statement "I am a fool if i claim wisdom about what i don't know. I am wise to keep with what i know"
