 | | Riemann laid down the principle, that the measurable form of action connecting two successive points in a physical process, can not be derived from a deductive mathematics, but must be established by a type of physical experiment which he defined as unique. |
 | | What Riemann's 1854 habilitation dissertation did, on this account, was, first of all, to outlaw all so-called self-evident assumptions of mathematics, such as those of schoolbook Euclidean geometry, from physical science. |
 | | From the standpoint of the mathematical physics of Gauss and Riemann, the physical universe, considered as a whole, is what is called variously a "multiply-connected manifold," or "hypergeometry." The two terms, used in that context, mean the same thing. |
