Abstractions don't work in reality. Hence neither do Euclidean plane figures, Euclidean solid figures, pi, or numbers. They're all mental constructs with no real counterpart.
True. Nonetheless they work just fine to navigate and calculate your way around in local two/three dimensional space. The transept in 3 dimensions is 90o to the 2 dimensional plane reality. (Even though it really isn't. Your 100 story building will stand just fine using that mental concept.)
In the same way truth, beauty, love, empathy and even God work just fine in the real social space of tribal humans. Until global social space must be considered. There other concepts of human living come into play.
Jesus came close to how to live in the global space with "Love thy neighbor" [with all thy heart, and mind] no matter which tribe or culture hesh is a part of.
