Take an n-manifold, as topologists like to consider surfaces rather than content, this space may be viewed as a varying n-1-m over the n-th dimension. The topological nature of the n-1-m's determines the nature of the n-manifold. Taken over ALL possible basis, the Poincare conjecture is reduced to a simple class clause, which given Smales and others results, reduces the problem to a finite cluase, hence the PC is true. LOL.

There are any number of things that this could mean. Could you spell out what you mean by each of these two clauses? Thanks, Dan
