Here are two gentlemen and a lady contemplating a length of dug-up pipeline

Figure B. illustrates the assertion --

"ambiguity can't be measured like a change in temperature"

Figure C. consists of a list of assorted equipage

A gentleman imagines how the items on the list would look if only part exhumed

(He thinks they wouldn't look unlike a length of pipe.)

"When you remove a rung from a ladder

The whole is suddenly part, the part is whole

But the hue and temperature of a pipeline are ineluctably parts

Without the pipeline they would cease to be."

"Anything you care to mention of three dimensions

(like a length of pipe) in a certain light

May be seen as the projection or the shadow

Of an entity of four dimensions." -- see Figure D
