Preface
Anyone maybe once heard the proverb of the six blind mewhich these blind men were asked to determine what an elephdifferent parts of the elephant’s body. The man touched its legor tusk claims that the elephant is like a pillar, a rope, a tree wall or a solid pipe, respectively. Each of them insisted his viinto an endless argument. All of you are right ! A wise manare you telling it differently is because each one of you touchthe elephant. So, actually the elephant has all those features
After read this meaningful proverb, we should ask ourse
What is its implication in philosophy ?

V = ∅and I : E →V ×V . Call V the vertex set and E theby V (G) and E (G), respectively. An elements v∈V (G) is ine ∈E (G) if I (e) = ( v, x) or (x, v) for an x ∈V (G). Usfor∀u, v∈V , G is called a graph, otherwise, a directed grau →v on each edge (u, v).
The cardinal numbers of |V (G)| and |E (G)| are calledgraph G, denoted by |G| and ε(G), respectively.
Let G be a graph. It be can represented by locating eapoint p(u), p(u) = p(v) if u = v and an edge (u, v) by a c p(u) and p(v) on a plane R 2, where p : G →P is a mapping
For example, a graph G = ( V, E ; I ) with V =

A Smarandache geometry is a geometrical Smarandache system, wmeans that there is a Smarandachely denied axiom in this geomcal system, i.e., both validated and invalidated, or just invalidatedin multiple distinct ways, which is a generalization of classical gtries. For example, these Euclid, Lobachevshy-Bolyai-Gauss anmannian geometries maybe united altogether in a same space by
Smarandache geometries. A Smarandache geometry can be eithetially Euclidean and partially non-Euclidean, or non-Euclidean connewith the relativity theory because they include Riemannian geoma subspace, also with the parallel universes in physics because thebine separate spaces into one space too.

We dene a set U in S/ ∼S to be open if p− 1(U ) ∈S is othese open sets in S/ ∼s , S/ ∼S become a topological space, cspace of S under ∼S .

Theorem 7.1.1 The functional J [y(x)] in (7-21) has maximal or

atorics and Smarandache multi-spaces with applications to sciences, particularly,
the parallel universe.
ABSTRACT : This monograph is motivated with surveying mathematics and
physics by CC conjecture, i.e., a mathematical science can be reconstructed from or made by combinatorialization . Topics covered in this book include fundamental
of mathematical combinatorics, differential Smarandache n -manifolds, combinato-
rial or differentiable manifolds and submanifolds, Lie multi-groups, combinatorial
principal ber bundled, gravitational eld, quantum elds with their combinatorial
generalization, also with discussions on fundamental questions in epistemology. All
of these are valuable for researchers in combinatorics, topology, differential geom-
etry, gravitational or quantum elds.
