which was given as time before, will now be given as the
plane creature’s space; something, which was given as space
before, will now be given as a time series as the cube is
passed through the plane.
The three positions in which the cubes must be studied
are the ones given above and the two following ones. In
each case the original null point which was nearest to us
at first is marked by an asterisk. In fig. 93 and 94 the

the plane view.
In fig. 93 the cube is swung round the red line so as to
point towards us, and consequently the pink face comes
next to the plane. As it passes through there are two
varieties of appearance designated by the figures 1 and 2
in the plane. These appearances are named in the figure,
and are determined by the order in which the cubes
come in the motion of the whole block through the
