The Fourier transform describes how to transform between cyclic and non cyclic. Did Nāgārjuna describe this already several centuries before Fourier as described in Mūlamadhyamakakārikā 25:19-20 ? A full translation to western terms is >25:19–20 >न संसारस्य निर्वाणात् किं चिद् अस्ति विशेषणं >na saṁsārasya nirvāṇāt kiṁ cid asti viśeṣaṇaṁ >There is nothing whatsoever of the cyclic distinguishing (it) from the non cyclic. >ननिर्वाणस्य संसारात् किं चिद् अस्ति विशेषणं। १९ >na nirvāṇasya saṁsārāt kiṁ cid asti viśeṣaṇaṁ| 19 >There is nothing whatsoever of the non cyclic distinguishing it from the cyclic. निर्वाणस्य च या कोटिः।कोटिः। संसरणस्य च >nirvāṇasya ca yā koṭiḥ koṭiḥ saṁsaraṇasya ca >(That?) is the limit which is the limit of the non cyclic and the limit of the cyclic; >न तयोर् अन्तरं किंचित् सुसूक्ष्मम् अपि विद्यते। २० >na tayor antaraṁ kiñcit susūkśmam api vidyate| 20 >Even a very subtle interval is not found of (between) them.
