The question, of Land, its meaning and purpose really, is one, that has, concerned, human beings, for a, long time now. When most people, think, of Land, they think about it, from usually, three perspectives: that of land as wealth, land as something you use to grow food on, and finally, for those, who view themselves, as sophisticated, they see, Land, from the viewpoint, of Landscaping. However, the question, is much deeper, than presented, above. In some cultures, in Africa for instance, Land, was really seen, from the advantageous, point of view. There is a big problem, you find, in Africa; the problem, of no, Higher ground. And by, higher ground, we mean, a platform, from which, one, can control, others, or something. You find, in general, that the idea, of control, is lacking, in Africa, and people, are simply, somewhat, threatened [managed], as a form, of control. In Africa though, traditionally, land, served, as a form, of higher ground. The problem, of land, in Africa, is that, little of it, is good [from the perspective, of usability], and that which is useful, has traditionally, been somewhat, fought over. Land, in African history, has traditionally, been used, as a mechanism, to control, others. Take for instance, the Gikuyu people, of Kenya. Anyone, who has read, on their history, has probably, heard, they are, the largest, 'tribe', in Kenya, and the most, succesful. What most, don't know really, is that, Gikuyu success, has mainly, been due, to the question, of land; in short really, the Gikuyu, are lucky, historically, to have occupied, some, of the best land, in Kenya, and probably, even, in Africa. Land, that made them, prosperous, through, agriculture, and also, serving, very much, as a, higher ground, for traders, crisscrossing, between, the Buganda of Uganda, and the, Swahili civilization [African land is filled with valleys, of all sorts; Gikuyu land, is pretty much, flat]. Gikuyu land too, happened, to be, in a region, considered, good, for human health and existence. This generally means, it is land, you would want, to build, a house on, since, it makes, one feel, pretty much, good, and healthy. This too, was very much, a platform, for the Gikuyu, to launch, the development, of a culture, that was, in general, superior, to its neighbours [in Central/Southern/Eastern Africa], with regards, to individuality.
In general though, humans today, have evolved, to a level, where, they are able, to gain, a deeper, understanding, of land, and its applications. What is been said really, is that, today, all land, is good land. One can live, on it, if simply, one, only, understands it. By this, it is meant, that, one, becomes, attuned, to the land [connected to it, via understanding]. Becoming attuned, to land, is very much, similar, to seeing, land, as ones, home. By this, it is meant, that one, develops, the same, feelings, upon, touching, or landing, on ones, land, as one, gets, when they, arrive, at their homes. And what makes, something home [or feel like it], is based, on certain, forms, of intelligence; in general: pattern recognition, logic and memory. What this means really, is that, home, is somewhere, where, one, generally recognizes, everything in it, one has, the logic, to go about, doing things, and the memory, to solve, just about, any problem, that arises.
In order, to always feel, at home, outside, ones home, one, will realize, that they, generally need, to use, the same, logic, pattern recognition, and memory skills, as they, use, at home. And for this, to truly work, well, one must, be attuned, to ones, land, and know, what, logic, pattern recognition, and memory, the land, uses, as an, existential being.The land, as a, breathing being [including plant and animal life], of sorts, functions, and works, using, certain mechanisms, based on, certain, pattern recognition, logic, and memory skills. If one, knows, these general 'intelligence', one feels, attuned, to the land, and can then, apply them, to what, they do, so, as to be, in harmony, with the land. This for instance, is applicable, in Agriculture, where, the logic, used, to work the soil, and grow, plants of all kinds, is similar, to that, used, by the land, itself, as a, living being really, to function.
What therefore, is been said, in totality, is that, if one, sees land, as the basis, of all forms, of existence, then, it gathers too, that, the intelligence, that the land, uses, must be, the basis, of all, that is done, on the land [to prevent really, from damaging it]. From Agriculture, to Mining, to Architecture, to even, Medicine, it is been said, that, the study, of all these, from a local, perspective, is really, about, seeing, their connection, to the land, one inhabits. Curative plants, that work, on animal life, living, in a land, will most, probably too, work, on the human population, living on it. It also, very much gathers, that, the way, one, goes about, generally, doing anything, in a place, one lives in, should be, best attuned, to the logic, of the land itself. Land, affects, many other things, in our worlds, including, the weather, and, atmosphere/air, around us. Our moods too.
Around the world, one finds that, different land, uses, different intelligence, in how, it functions. It is for, humans really, to know, these 'intelligence', so as, to apply them, generally, to just, about, every area, of their lives; from Architecture, to building roads, to farming, to generally, recognizing, problems, and even, planning, their days. You find that, these, land based 'intelligence', are found, within, certain, mathematical branches, as pure theory. They are basically, studied, as, pure theory, with no, application really, and are, used, to simply, develop, and enhance, ones, memory, pattern recognition, and logic skills.
North America:
Memory: Elliptic geometry; Pattern Recognition: Linear algebra; Logic: Graph theory
What is been said, above, is that, general, pattern recognition and logic even, seen, in Nature, in North America, takes, the form, of, patterns, and logics, seen, in Linear Algebra, and, Graph theory respectively. The weather, in North America, behaves, using, logic, based on, Graph theory. One will notice too, that plants, in North America, generally, have patterns on them, coming, from, Linear algebra.
South America:
Memory: Affine geometry; Pattern recognition: Partial differential equations; Logic: Combinatorial design [Design theory]
What this, all means, is that, the weather, in South America, works, on a logic, based on, Combinatorial design. It is obvious, that, North America, has, a different, weather system, from that seen, in South America. One will, also find, in general that, patterns, in South Americas, Nature, are actually, similar, to those, seen, in, Partial differential equations. Nature too, in South America, resolves, its problems, in a similar manner, to, problem solving, using, affine geometry.
Africa:
Memory: Absolute geometry; Pattern recognition: Abstract algebra; Logic: Partition theory
Supercomputers, for instance, are run, using, Partition theory. In general, while, in Africa, when, building a road, or even, planning your week, it is best, to use, principles/logic, from, Partition theory. African Art [traditional], tends, to be similar, in patterns, to those, seen, in Abstract algebra. What constitutes, traditional, African mathematics [such as African counting systems], are actually, based on, Partition theory.
Asia:
Memory: Projective geometry; Pattern recognition: Elementary algebra; Logic: Order theory [Combinatorics]
Microsoft Windows, the preferred OS, for the Asian region, works, on, Order theory. Vedic mathematics, and even, Vedic astrology, are actually, based on, Elementary algebra. Artificial Intelligence, has its, basis, on, Projective geometry.
Middle East:
Memory: Riemannian geometry; Pattern recognition: Number theory; Logic: Algebraic combinatorics
In the Middle East, one, will realize, that, astrology there, is different, from, Vedic astrology, as it is, actually, based on, Number theory. The skies, in the Middle East, look different, from those, in India. Algebraic combinatorics, has a logic, that underlies, what, they call, drastic change. One finds, that the, Middle East, is a region, where, drastic change, occurs, oftenly. Algebraic combinatorics, can be easily used, to predict change, in the Middle East. Sufi music, and Sufi dance, have patterns in them, similar, to those, seen, in, Number theory.
Europe:
Memory: Differential geometry; Pattern recognition: Probability; Logic: Set theory
In totality though, what is been said, is that, the basis, of studying, complex subjects, from, a cultural perspective, in every, region, above, is actually based, on the above, forms, of 'intelligence'. Architecture, differs, in North America, from that, in the, Middle East, and one, will find that, traditional, North American, Architecture, is based on, Elliptic geometry [its patterns are based on Linear algebra], while that, in the Middle East, is based on, Riemannian geometry.
