  This is a paper about geometry and how one can derive several fundamental
laws of physics from a simple postulate of geometrical nature. The method uses
monogenic functions analysed in the algebra of 5-dimensional spacetime,
exploring the 4-dimensional waves that they generate. With this method one is
able to arrive at equations of relativistic dynamics, quantum mechanics and
electromagnetism. Fields as disparate as cosmology and particle physics will be
influenced by this approach in a way that the paper only suggests. The paper
provides an introduction to a formalism which shows prospects of one day
leading to a theory of everything and suggests several areas of future
development.
