What is recorded here?
Developed a way to discuss spaces of arbitrary dimension, local measurement and curvature, separating geometrical hypotheses from the question of which geometry describes physical space.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The date refers to the habilitation lecture. The inspected text is Clifford's later English translation. This is a foundation for later geometry, not the Riemann hypothesis or Einstein's field equations, and not a claim that every modern definition appears verbatim in the lecture.
