Cartesians

Cartesian refers to everything related to René Descartes, a philosopher and mathematician. In mathematics, Cartesian coordinates are a system that uses two or three values (like x, y, and z) to pinpoint a location in space. Think of it as a grid where you can specify any point by how far along and up it is from a starting point. Philosophically, Cartesian relates to Descartes’ idea of doubt and thinking—famous for saying "I think, therefore I am." Overall, "Cartesian" links to Descartes’ methods of understanding and measuring both space and consciousness.
