Total geometry
The geometry as the boundary of permissible positions — not a drawn shape.
REL.36 October 2026exploringexploratory
By total geometry I do not mean shapes on a page. I mean the boundary or container of the positions that are permissible within a structure — what can exist, where, and under which conditions.
It is exploratory and unpublished, and it is not part of the preprint. Before it can be more than a name it needs a precise definition, and a comparison with what already exists — constraint sets and viability kernels in the preprint's own field, configuration spaces — so that nothing is presented as new if it is not.
