what is intended here by 'euclidian' is that the system is viewed as an assemblage of independent 'closed forms' or 'things' [as in euclidian geometry] which act upon one another in a 'causal' fashion to generate system outcomes.
while the euclidian approximation leads one to think in terms of 'clean' and 'complete' system interventions (as in moving chess pieces), in reality all systems interventions are 'dirty'.
dysfunction which arises from the ignoring of evolutionary consequence, as is innate in the euclidian approach, is the analog of ignoring the possibility of infection from 'dirty' surgical intervention.

 USS Clueless -- The Limits of Mathematics
Euclidian geometry, the granddaddy of them all, starts as does any mathematical systems with a small set of axioms.
For instance, in plane geometry, the sum of the angles of a triangle are always a constant, but that's not the case in spherical geometry, where the sum can range from 180 to 540 degrees.
It's always been an article of faith that space-time was fundamentally Euclidian, yeah, we know that navigation has to use spherical geometry but that's a special case; but if you're travelling in space then you use Euclidian geometry.

 Isometries of the Euclidian Plane
The group T of translations of the Euclidian plane is a normal subgroup of all the isometries of the plane.
This is so because it can be shown that any transformation that fixes three or more points that are not on the same line fixes the whole plane and is thus the identity.
Amazingly, the isometries of the Euclidian plane are a group.

 Statistics Applied to Bioinformatics - Practicals - Clustering with R
The most familiar distance metric is the Euclidian distance.
Euclidian distance does is probably not the best metric to reflect the biological concept of co-regulation.
Test different agglomeration rules (single, average, complete, ward) and distance metrics (Euclidian, Manhattan, correlation,...), and compare each result with the known cancer types.

 Neuro/fuzzy hybrid approach to clustering data - Patent 6904420
If the determined minimum Euclidian distance is less than or equal to the computed threshold value, then assigning the current input to the cluster corresponding to the minimum distance, and if the determined minimum Euclidian distance is greater than the computed threshold value, then forming a new cluster for the current input.
Analyzer 560 then determines a minimum Euclidian distance from the computed Euclidian distances and computes a threshold value based on the read data to set granularity for the clustering.
Then comparator 570 compares the determined minimum Euclidian distance with the computed threshold value, and forms new clusters based on the outcome of the comparison, and further updates cluster weights based on newly formed clusters.

And of course he believed that it was in an Euclidian space that this occurred.
So now we have a Euclidian space with a universal field, which we just said was related to a non-Euclidian space.
A Euclidian space can be made into a non-Euclidian space by making transformations in the regions where the space is to be curved.

 National Indemnity Commits $72 Million to Lloyd's Euclidian

 hyperspace
The method is quite general, but for this discussion, we will consider only spaces which are subsets of the Euclidian spaces -- the real line, the plane, three dimensional space, and if needed, Euclidian spaces of higher dimension than three.
The entire x-axis, considered as a subset of the plane, is not compact because it is not bounded, but the circle of radius 2000 about the origin is compact.
A hyperspace of S is a new space in which the points are compact subsets of S and the distance between points is found using the Hausdorf distance.

 Data Structures and Algorithms for Nearest Neighbor Search in General Metric Spaces
Of particular interest are spaces that may not be conveniently embedded or approximated in Euclidian space, or where the dimensionality of a Euclidian representation is very high.
Also relevant are high-dimensional Euclidian settings in which the distribution of data is in some sense of lower dimension and embedded in the space.
So despite considerable progress for Euclidian space, the development of more general techniques is important; not just because of the problems with high dimension, but also because there is no a priori reason to believe that all or even most useful metrics are Euclidian.

 Non-Euclidian geometries and theories on Plato's dialogues
Definition 2: a parallel to a given straight line (D) from a given point A outside this straight line is another straight line (D') including point A and having no intersection with line (D) Let's assume that we stay in two-dimensional geometry for this example.
But now, let's see what happens if we take our two dimensional "plane" to be the surface of a sphere (which, by the way, happens to be our situation when we draw maps of the earth).
Non Euclidian geometries try to use other sets of axioms and/or definitions and see whether they can derive from them consistent consequences (consequences that are not contradictory with one another or with the axioms).

 Tertium Organum: Chapter VII
Non-Euclidian geometry is not metageometry, and non-Euclidian geometry stands in the same relation to metageometry as Euclidian geometry itself.
The results of non-Euclidian geometry, which have submitted the fundamental axioms of Euclid to a revaluation, and which have found the most complete expression in the works of Bolyai, Gauss, and Lobachevsky, are embraced in the formula:
Perhaps this last is the most important for the definition of the difference between geometries (Euclidian and non-Euclidian and metageometry).

Some basic postulates are now defined as they apply to an undisturbed Euclidian Universe.
At the present time it appears that Euclidian Geometry describes the undisturbed Universe quite well and that there is no need for the other two proposed theoretical geometries!
Euclidian geometrical methods strictly apply only to an undisturbed Universe.

 Computer Graphics, Peripheral Vision & Non Euclidian Geometry
The suggested mapping is closely related to non Euclidian geometry; this ties in with the fact known to psychologists for over fifty years that the perceptual geometry of human visions strongly non Euclidian.
Thus, if one were to adapt the Turing test for artificial intelligence to computer vision, then non Euclidian geometry can be expected to play a key role in any attempt to satisfy that the test.
Building on these ideas, the paper demonstrates that computer graphics has a great deal to lean from non Euclidian geometry, and that in turn computer graphics can contribute significantly to the intelligent application of non Euclidian geometryies to real life problems.
