But with time, familiarity with the new plateaus within the logical limits increases, and thinking turns toward self-reflection, shifting from logic to algebra. This is what we observe in the 17th-c. setup, symbolized by (N)C(A)L. Within this new BoT, thinking is now directed at self-reflective infinite talks of infinite things, establishing the rational numbers as self-reflective infinite series of numbers, and demanding projection of the projective self. How is this articulated architecturally?

We call it the Cartesian space, and look at it as centered voids, as rational talks of arithmetic articulations for creating fictitious things. Those manifest themselves as stable points of an oscillating curve, or patterns of interfering waves: points of stability, balancing all the infinite movements of the elements around. There is no stability, no finding these points without integrating the total environment as a prerequisite to bringing them into balance — no finding stability without actually doing it.
