Tertium-Organum-by-P-D-Ouspensky

space-sense,
or the boundary-line, the limit 
of space-sense. 
A snail feels the line as space, i.e. as something constant. It feels the rest of the 
world as time, i.e. as something ever-flowing. A horse feels the plane as space; it feels 
the rest of the world as time. 
We feel the 
infinite sphere 
as space; the rest of the world - that which 
was
yesterday 
and that which will be tomorrow - we feel as time. 
In other words, every being feels as space all that is embraced by his space-sense; 
everything else is referred to time, i.e. everything 
imperfectly felt
is referred to time. Or 
we can define it in this way: 
Every being feels as space that which, by means of his space-sense, he can 
represent to 
himself 
as being outside himself in forms; and he feels as time that which he is 
incapable of 
representing to himself
in forms; i.e. he feels the latter as something ever­
flowing, inconstant, so unstable that no forms can represent it. 
SPACE-SENSE IS THE FACULTY OF REPRESENTATION IN FORMS. 
The 'infinite sphere' in the guise of which we represent our world, is constantly and 
unceasingly changing; at every new moment it is 
no longer the same 
as it was the 
moment before. There goes on in it a continual shifting of pictures, images, 
relationships. It is for us like a cinema screen where projections of pictures follow one 
another in a fast-flowing stream. 
But where are the pictures themselves? Where is the light that projects them on the 
screen? Where do the pictures come from and where do they go? 
If the 'infinite sphere' is the cinema screen, then our consciousness is the 
light. 
Penetrating through our mental apparatus, i.e. through our store of impressions (the 
pictures), it projects on the screen their reflections which we call 
life. 
But whence do the impressions reach us? 
From the same screen. 
In this lies the most incomprehensible aspect of life as we see it. We both create it 
and get everything from it. 
Imagine a man in an ordinary cinema theatre. Let us suppose that he knows nothing 
about the workings of a cinema, is ignorant of the existence of a projector 
behind his 
back 
and of small transparent pictures on a moving strip. Let us imagine that he wishes 
to 
study
the cinema and starts by studying what he sees on the screen - taking 


notes and photographs, observing the sequence of pictures, calculating, constructing 
hypotheses, and so on. 
To what conclusions can he come? 
Obviously to none at all until he turns his back on the screen and begins to study the 
causes of the appearance of pictures on the screen. 
The causes are in the projector (i.e. 
in consciousness) and in the moving strips of pictures (our menial apparatus). It is they 
that should be studied if one wishes to understand the 'cinema'. 
Positivist philosophy studies nothing but the 
screen 
and the pictures projected on it. 
Consequently the question of where the pictures come from and where they go, and 
why 
they come and go instead of remaining eternally the same, remains a perpetual 
riddle for it. 
But a 
cinema 
should be studied by beginning with the 
source of light,
i.e. with 
consciousness;
then one should pass on to the 
pictures 
on the moving strip, and only 
later should one study the 
projections. 
We have established that an animal (a horse, a cat, a dog) must perceive three­
dimensional motionless angles and curves as movements, i.e. as time-phenomena. 
The question arises: May not 
we
also perceive as movements, i.e. as time­
phenomena, the four-dimensional angles and curves? We usually say that our 
sensations are moments of awareness of some changes taking place outside us, such as 
light, sound and so on - all 'vibrations of ether'. But what are these 'changes'? Maybe in 
reality there are no changes at all. Maybe what appears to us as movements, i.e. as 
changes, are in reality the motionless sides and angles of some kind of 
things
existing 
outside us, things about which we know nothing. 
Maybe our consciousness, incapable of grasping these 'things'
