Foreshadowing Transformations:  Extensions & Projections of Discourse

Many times in our discussion we have occasion to place one universe of discourse
in the context of a larger universe of discourse.  An embedding of the general
type [$X$] -> [$Y$] is implied any time we make use of one alphabet $X$ which
happens to be included in another alphabet $Y$.  But when we are discussing
differential issues we usually have in mind that the extended alphabet $Y$
has a special construction or lexical relation with respect to the initial
alphabet $X$, one which is often marked by characteristic types of accents,
indices, or inflected forms.

Extension from 1 to 2 Dimensions

Figure 18-a lays out the "angular form" of venn diagram for universes
of 1 and 2 dimensions, indicating the embedding map of type B^1 -> B^2,
and detailing the coordinates associated with individual cells.  Because
all points, cells, or logical interpretations are represented as coherent
geometric areas, we can say that these pictures give an "areal view" of
each universe.

I am having to rethink how many of the different styles
of diagrams that I used in this paper I will be able to
render in this plaintext medium.  But the decision will
keep until another day.

Until Then,
