The quantitative method of measuring the right of any individual to influence a particular civilization

by Perclase Nonobody

There is a steadily growing number of people who hold that the moral and social influence of certain persons or of certain groups of certain persons in a particular civilisation is pernicious, and who therefore aim at counteracting and destroying it. In realizing these principals, the have up to now been hindered by the lack of a clear standard against which to measure the objects of their investigations, and it is only the present author who has given the idea such a truly scientific form, from now hence forth, it will be possible to practise it in everyday life, both public and private. in order to find out whether a specimen (X) has or has not the right to influence a particular civilization, we have to take the said specimen's external organ of smell and mark on it 6 points annotated by the letters M,N,O,P,Q,R (fig. 11). Through the points M and Q we trace 2 parallel horizontal lines which we annotate by the letters m & q respectively . The distance between them will give us the quantity K which, after having been divided into 20 equal sections, serves us as a scale for further measuration. Let us then connect the point M with the point O, and thus obtain the straight line MO, from the middle (S) of which let us trace a perpendicular to MO, which perpendicular crosses the line m in a point which we call T. Let us call A the length of this perpendicular (ST), and let us call a the distance between the point N and the point where the said perpendicular crosses the straight line m (or the section NT). Now, let the distance between the point R and the straight line m be called C. With the help of the scale K (always = 20), we now measure the sections:A,a,B,C and employ the following Golden Formula that has been worked out by the present author:
