Genius and Ingenuity
The common locution 'X is a genius' signifies that 'genius' is a property that is possessed by X. But, as has been previously discussed, Genius transcends any X who is so inspired. Instead, the common locution reflects an Atomist reduction that mistakes Ingenuity for Genius. For example, in the case of Einstein cleverly solving an equation, he is likely ingenius. In contrast, envisioning reality as a Continuum likely involves Genius, not only because the vision transcends ordinary experience, but also because a Continuum is an anti-Atomist concept.
