     In  geometry along one infinitely long line there may
be many line segments,  parts of the long line.   Two line
segments may be immediately adjacent to each other and  so
have  a  point  at the end of each segment  which  is  the
boundary  between  the  two  adjacent  line  segments.   A
distinction is even made as to whether the boundary  point
is  part  of  both line segments,  part only of  one  line
segment, or between the two line segments, but not part of
either.

     The  above  considerations  can be  extended  to  two
dimensional surfaces which are parts of a surface which is
itself two dimensional;  and the boundaries  between  such
parts,  which boundaries are straight or curved continuous
lines.    Then,   of course,  the  considerations  can  be
extended to three,  four, five, etc.  dimensions in multi-
dimensional topologies.

     Can  we  talk meaningfully, or agree with  each other
tacitly in meaningful ways, about topologies in the multi-
dimensional spaces of:

OUR BODIES             OUR MINDS          OUR BRAINS

OUR EMOTIONS           OUR THOUGHTS       OUR DESIRES

OUR INTENTIONS         OUR HOPES          OUR EXPECTATIONS

OUR SPIRITS            OUR SOULS          OUR HEARTS

OUR SIGNIFICANCE       OUR MEANINGS       OUR BEINGS

OUR SUBJECTIVITY       OUR REFLEXIVITY    OUR OBJECTIVITY

     Do   the  "things"   which are "ours:   hover   among
the realms of objectivity, reflexivity and subjectivity?

     Can  we  with clarity  and  meaning  talk  about  the
topology of such "things" which are ours?

     If  we do not talk about "things"  which are  "ours",
can  we  avoid  tacitly  agreeing  with others  about  our
various   tacit  assumptions,   beliefs  and   convictions
regarding the topology of such "things" which are ours?

     What  if we are tacitly in conflict,  rather than  in
agreement;  in  "our"   tacit  assumptions,   beliefs  and
convictions regarding the topology of such "things"  which
are ours?

     Where in the tacit topologies of our "things" are our
tacit  differences and/or conflicts regarding the topology
of our "things"?

     If we cannot be clear (overtly or tacitly)  about the
differences between the "things" which are ours,  how then
can  we think clearly and be in clear dialogue  about  the
"things" which are ours?

     Are   the   "things"   which  are   ours---objective,
reflexive,  and/or  subjective realities?   Where are  the
boundaries  between them?   What kinds of  "things"    are
"between" them?

     It may seem useless  to talk overtly or think overtly
about  questions such as these!   Is it better not to talk
overtly  or  think overtly about questions such as  these;
but  yet  to agree tacitly or think  subconsciously  about
questions such as these?   Can we avoid the latter, and if
so, how?
