So Lovecraft loves his non-Eluclidian geometry; but what is it? Sure, you can look it up on Wikipedia, but I found a interesting video that visually explains some nEg in regards to the universe. Look up "Astronomy" under The Open University (through iTunes or wherever you desire) and check the title "Geometry of the Universe". It goes into hyperbolic and spherical geometry only, but I think it might help give readers a glimpse into the nEg realm.
