I would like to discuss the plight of the irregulars. I could not help, but connect the rigid social structure to the church of Galileo. In both cases, those with different ideas and angles were sacrificed that the world should not “fall into barbarism”. I have recently been reading quite a bit on the science of evolution. In flatland it seems that evolution is apparent and expected within generations. The structure they have instituted, seems to stifle the group as a species. There is no hope for variation that may lead to any break into the world of Spaceland. For this, I would say that the circles are nothing more than large points, centered entirely upon their own being.
