Actually, what Russell proposed,
in a
sense, was a straightforward
application of a standard procedure
in topology, termed «isomorphic projection,» most commonly utilized by cartographers precisely to compile onto a single surface the information contained
in a
variety of observer's perspectives, thereby actually producing a (normative) map!
Combining these two elements to make a compact frequency comb generating long - wavelength light
in the terahertz range can produce a useful source
of radiation for a
variety of applications in imaging, diagnostics, remote
sensing, and identifying molecular «fingerprints»
of extremely complex molecules.
