The Need for a Riemannian Approach to Scientific Research

The remarkable quality that butyrate exhibits depending upon the microenvironment it positively effects yet again brings to mind the relevance of Bernhard Riemann's geometric model of a multi-layered surface function. In many cases we see a unique biophysical singularity that acts as a sort of branch point in different functional phase spaces. This Riemannian model has correlation in the inorganic as well, for example with transitions of fluid phases. In fact, the functioning of human creativity which may act upon multiple levels through the agency of a scientific or artistic breakthrough gives the model a wonderful universality in these three domains.
