So, paul, since you aren't ``buying that geometry is the underlying
causal basis for [whatever]...'' what causes the circumference of
a circle to be \pi x diameter? -=-
$$ The mathematical constant pi.
Note ONLY a *STANDARD unit radius* defines a *pi* circumference.
Note, Bilge is a "biblical cracked-pot" ..in NO UNcertain terms.

-=- What ``causes'' inertial motion to
be along a ``straight line?''
Two OBjECTs falling together are attracted to EACH other.
Two OBjECTs falling at DiFFERENT TiMEs, will NOT deviate.
Falling is a "gravitational acceleration" ..NOT inertial.
Note, "inertial acceleration" requires some CONTACT area.
[Gravitational acceleration is automatic, at-a-distance].
```Brian.
It isn't a straight line.
That is why we abandon Newton's first law.
