Footnote:

In Fuller's synergetic geometry, circles don't become infinite lines, but
just bigger and bigger circles.  Lines that appear locally straight are just
that:  local.  Clearly we're starting with different assumptions than those
of Euclidean greek metaphysics.  More from Democritus.  Lines aren't
perfectly straight either -- zoom in and they become zig-zaggy/wavilinear.
Zoom out, and all you get are curves and great circles.
