It contains within itself the problem of keeping knowledge alive, of preventing it from becoming inert, which is the central problem of all education." — Whitehead 1929 An example for inert knowledge is vocabulary of a foreign language which is available during an exam but not in a real situation of communication.
Inclusion-based point-free geometry (henceforth "point-free geometry") is essentially an axiomatization of Simons's system W. [5] In turn, W formalizes a theory of Whitehead [6] whose axioms are not made explicit. Point-free geometry is W with this defect repaired. Simons did not repair this defect, instead proposing in a footnote that the ...
