===The first mode of recognization is hearing. Flatland's resident's hearing is far more developed than ours. Each class has a certain voice that relates to that class. Flatland's hearing allows them to hear each classes voices. Lower class has the ability to manipulate their voice and mimic the voice of a higher class. For that reason hearing is not the best mode of recognization.===

===Feeling is the principal test of recognization. Feeling is not associated with rubbing a resident to recognize someone, its quite the opposite. Feeling allows one to distinguish others better than sight. If trained correctly throughout years of school a shape can be determined by a single touch.===

===Flatland's residents dont see what the figure is exactly because from their view they see straight lines and may accidently refer to a figure as a women. Because of the fog that inhabits flatlands it is easier to determine figures. When a figure sees another figure the figure sees a line with gaps inbetween them. These gaps let the figure see that the figure has angles at those points or 'gaps'.===
