Logarithms. Can they be used to see into the future?
What I mean is, if you took the measurements of something like the thickness of the iPads that have been released to date and input them into a calculator along the years that they were released, could to infer that in a certain period of time, the iPad will be paper thin?
logarithms are pure and not subject to resistance. if it is conjectured that the elements of reality can be plotted logarithmically, then one may be disappointed.
a logarithmic reduction of a touch pad "volume" will encounter resistance in many dimensions.
the planar (l*w) dimension has to remain the same because miniaturization in that dimension will result in inaccessibility of sections of the surface area by anyone other than brain surgeons.
the only reduction that can be considered is a z axis reduction.
if (theoretically) an i pad is one atom thick, then there can be no 3 dimensional layering of printed hierarchies on top of it , so it stands to reason that the surface area of a 1 atom thick tablet would have to be infinite in order for it to contain all the "overlays" that must find room on the infinitely thin but infinitely capacious plane of existence in which it exists.
