Circles, viewed as the highest class, uphold a doctrine claiming that the more symmetrical a figure, the more virtuous and intelligent it must be. Such a belief leaves no space for merit or effort, reducing identity to mathematical precision. Even minor irregularities, like…
    • Section 11: Concerning our Priests Cover
      by LovelyMay Section 11 opens by revealing a tightly guarded secret: the full truth of Flatland is known only to the Chief Circle.

Each year, those who labored are destroyed, and new individuals are brought in. Such measures reflect the extent to which power in Flatland is…
