I think you're talking about non-commutative geometry.
To whom are you referring? I don't know the terminology, but I can test it with a baseball and a 45 record if you'd like.
I was talking to you.
Can you explain non-commutative geometry to me? I don't know the terminology. At all.
You can visualise it.
Take a football or a round object put your finger on it's equator (the start position). Move up the ball perpendicular to the equator a certain distance, now move across around the ball parallel to the equator (note the end point). Remember the distances and the directions.
Now put your finger back to the start position but do the directions in reverse with the same distances.
If the surface is commutative then the end point would be the same no matter which way around you took the directions, if the surface is non-commutative then the end point will not be the same if you took the directions in a different order.
There are certain points and directions on a sphere that do commute but on the whole a sphere is a non-commutative geometry.
