[edit] Fourrier's Move

Prof. Goldman identifies Fourrier's Move as a major turning point in Natural Philosiphy, and uses it as a tool to highlight the difference between actual reality and experiential reality...

My question; did he invent the term? How old is it? I think it'd be useful as a tool for explaining things over in Reality, but Wikipedia has a policy against neologisms. (I might be able to sneak it in because the move itself was several hundred years ago, but I'd like to know where the term comes from.) Googgle has very few uses for it, all post-dating Professor Goldman's Science Wars book, but that wouldn't tell me if it'd been in use in acadamic journals or his lectures before the book popularized it. -Deriksmith 22:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
