Coordinates in two dimensions: a Reality-based perspective

According to the book Calculus: An Idiot's Guide, a set of points as well as a single point P can be located within a plane by two coordinates (x,y) in a system known as the Cartesian coordinate system.

This describes reality in two dimensions which is a set of points in which all things are located or exist within.

Higher mathematics builds on this foundational premise.

Lying within these points, motion and rest which are contained in reality, gives each of us the illusion that we are a "doer". But according to Mahayan Buddhism, we do not DOOO anything. Hence meaning is created from the meaningless or mundane. I know, I shifted the focus of the central topic a bit.

All levels of reality are nested within God or ultimate reality.


The genius has spoken.
