And what is interesting about Lamm’s selection of the Spiral UI patent is that, in fact, the spiral in dimensional space is able to represent a longer lifestream in a smaller space than any linear representation.

One version of their computational model made use of a linear representation of sound, called a spectrogram, which plots frequency over time.

Graphs and equations, for instance: He gets the idea, fine — one is a linear representation of the other — but making those conversions is often a headache.

As skilled as these peoples were in modeling life forms, and in engraving geometric devices, they seem rarely to have attempted the linear representation of life forms.
