Any any dimensional structure may be viewed as a one dimensional curved line.
Borders upon land and see, partition of wholes, separation of concerns, the so called divide & conquer, are all to gently inform the limited human mind.
Limits exist to be challenged and eventually, surpassed.

Creation is not the pieces, it is the order by which the pieces make a thing that is none of them, but is all of them conforming to that order, i.e. a whole.
“Doubtless, it shows the wisdom of God, to have so framed things at first, that there can seldom or never need any extraordinary interposition of his power; or the employing from, time to time, an intelligent overseer, to regulate, assist, and control the motions of matter.”

“A point is that which has no part.”
— Euclid
“A point has no existence by itself. It exists only as a part of the pattern of relationships which constitute the geometry of Euclid. This is what one means when one says that a point is a mathematical abstraction. The question, What is a point? has no satisfactory answer. Euclid's definition certainly does not answer it. The right way to ask the question is: How does the concept of a point fit into the logical structure of Euclid's geometry? ...It cannot be answered by a definition.”

“Indeed, these minds, if they noticed and formed an extremely clear perception of some property of, say, the parabola, would not seek, as our geometers do, to rectify the parabola, they would endeavor, if one may coin the expression, to parabolify the straight line.”
