Objects of more than three dimensions can be used to model geographic phenomena that occur in space, time and scale. For instance, a single 4D object can be used to represent the changes in a 3D object’s shape across time or all its optimal representations at various levels of detail. In this paper, we look at how such higher-dimensional space-time and space-scale objects can be visualised as projections from ℝ4to ℝ3. We present three projections that we believe are particularly intuitive for this purpose: (i) a simple ‘long axis’ projection that puts 3D objects side by side; (ii) the well-known orthographic and perspective projections; and (iii) a projection to a 3-sphere (S3) followed by a stereographic projection to ℝ3, which results in an inwards-outwards fourth axis. Our focus is in using these projections from ℝ4to ℝ3, but they are formulated from ℝnto ℝn−1so as to be easily extensible and to incorporate other non-spatial characteristics. We present a prototype interactive visualiser that applies these projections from 4D to 3D in real-time using the programmable pipeline and compute shaders of the Metal graphics API.

The universe has two main dimensions spatial dimension (consists of three dimensions directional X, Y, Z) and the other dimension is the temporal dimension. Time and space are linked strongly inseparable so we will consider the time and place one Is the dimension of spacetime (as proved Einstein in his theory of relativity). Spacetime dimension includes the temporal dimension and spatial dimension (the three dimensions of space).  Spacetime dimension two (real spacetime – Vision spacetime).  Spacetime has two cases:    1- Navigate spacetime       2- The change in spacetime. spacetime is Personally like a fingerprint and it always variable ( everyone has Personally spacetime and there are not find two of spacetime are the same.

Idea Of The University

The article is authored by the Dean of Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria, celebrating the Faculty’s centenary in 2017. The exposition of the argument is unfolded on the basis of Ricoeur’s threefold mimesis of prefiguration, configuration and reconfiguration. The earliest decisive statement with regard to the nature of the Faculty, and which is eagerly pursued, was made by the Rev. M.J. Goddefroy in 1888, epitomising theological training as of academic deference, that is as a Faculty at a university and not a seminary. This has been the fibre of Theology at the University of Pretoria and intellectual inquiry is an uncompromised value. The article is a critical reflection on the past century and an orientation towards the next hundred years, identifying the essence of what a real Pretoria Model could and should be and looking ahead to the next century. ‘History is not a destination, but an orientation’, sounds like a refrain in the article. The enterprise is contextual with regard to time and space. The assessment is subsequently done in terms of this continent and this century, that is Africa and the 21st century. The conclusion of the article is that the Pretoria Model fills a unique niche in theological inquiry at public universities competing for a position among the top 500 on the ranking of world universities.

AbstractThe subjective dimensions of globalization have not received even close to the level of attention that has been paid to the objective dimensions of global interchange and extension. Seeking to rectify this neglect, we argue that the subjective dimensions of globalization can be conceptualized in terms of three dimensions or levels: ideologies, imaginaries, and ontologies. The Occupy Movement in several global locations seeks to challenge global capitalism as the dominant system of economics. At the ideological level, activists connected to Occupy tend to engage in fierce contestation of the global structuring of greed, thus exhibiting clear signs of global rebellion. However, the terms of debate and critique tend to become increasingly uncontested as we go deeper into examining the dominant social imaginary and the ontologies of modern time and space that underpin this general sense of the global. Occupy is clearly an important variant of “justice globalism” that has inspired scores of young activists to protest against increasing inequality and the growing concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny minority. Still, we suggest that this important alter-globalization movement often works within many of the same subjective frameworks and precepts as the market-globalist world that it criticizes.

The essay is dedicated to Awoiska van der Molen’s landscape work seen as
 a critical reflection on the medium of photography, a reflection that is necessary today because the taking and distribution of photographs has become an obsessive and compulsive, hence unreflected, ritual. Against this, Van der Molen works with the temporality of duration “drawing the spectator into the thick braids of paradoxical times.” In the terms of Brazilian theoretician Vilém Flusser, one could say that Van der Molen makes visible “the program of the medium photography.” She achieves this aim through understanding photography as a series of translations; of color, time, and space.

This book review examines the 2nd edition of Betsy Rymes' Classroom Discourse Analysis: A Tool for Critical Reflection. It includes an outline of each chapter's content, discusses the several distinctive features of the book, and its possible contribution to educational research from a practitioner's point of view. The book has nine chapters. The first four chapters first introduce the readers to basic concepts of discourse analysis within a three-dimensional approach, and then provides techniques and strategies for recording, viewing, transcribing and analyzing classroom talk through examples, activities, and questions. From Chapter V to VIII, Rymes focuses on particular resources utilized in classroom discourse such as turn taking, contextualization, storytelling and framing. Chapter IX revisits the three dimensions of classroom discourse and discusses how such a perspective may be integrated in teaching practice with an understanding of individual communicative repertoire. Overall, the book is a how-to-book for in-service teachers who would like to resolve issues of communication in their classrooms, and develop their interaction with their students.

The Creation

Having observed and studied lingga-yoni, I have got an idea about “The Unity of Time-Space, Crossing the Phenomena of Time and Space in the Creation of Painting is the theme of my Works. What I would like to analyze here is the psycho- anthropological aspects of lingga-yoni. Hopefully this analysis is viewed as an effort to reread reinterpret the symbol of lingga- yoni in my paintings. My perception of lingga-yoni related to the unity of time-space is not merely understood as a sensing quality but as a self projection of various values involving new interpretations. I can perceive the significance of lingga-yoni so that I am fully aware of its relationship with time and space. This perception is related not only to the cognitive achievement but also to the feelings of various values such as aesthetical, moral, and religious. Thus in this context, I place the creative exploration in the painting creation as a critical reflection crossing the time and space phenomena with the theme of “Manunggaling Kala- Desa” (the unity of time-space).
