GAUSSIAN CO-ORDINATES image033 According to Gauss, this combined analytical and geometrical mode of handling the problem can be arrived at in the following way.

This is done in such a way, that only one meaning can be attached to the assignment, and that numbers (Gaussian coordinates) which differ by an indefinitely small amount are assigned to adjacent points.

The following statement corresponds to the fundamental idea of the general principle of relativity: “_All Gaussian co-ordinate systems are essentially equivalent for the formulation of the general laws of nature._” We can state this general principle of relativity in still another form, which renders it yet more clearly intelligible than it is when in the form of the natural extension of the special principle of relativity.

This non-rigid reference-body, which might appropriately be termed a “reference-mollusc”, is in the main equivalent to a Gaussian four-dimensional co-ordinate system chosen arbitrarily.

All they meant was that if the Cyclops were suddenly turned on, the Gaussian fields of electromagnetic flux would probably rearrange his brain cells permanently.
