Intro
Historically,
geometric drawing of the pentagram star was considered a secret. One
can appreciate keeping the "formula" and directions secret
because a construction of the five point star is not obvious even if
you worked in geometry for some time. Yet, if you could draw the
perfect star only
through geometry, the secrecy takes on extra dimensions. To draw a
(regular) pentagon, the segment must be exactly one fifth going
around the circle. |

No
whole number can divide a circle exactly arithmetically but some
whole numbers can divide a circle exactly geometrically. This
is the first differentiator between geometry and arithmetic. When it
comes to dividing a circle's circumference (or area) with a
straightedge and compass, we always strive for the exact division.
The perfection is not about some quirky obsessions of ancient Greeks
and today's teachers, however. If we finish our assignment in a
finite number of steps and achieve an exact division, we would then
claim executability and, therefore, creation of such structures could
be implemented in nature. Computer's arithmetic gives us precise
but not exact
answers when working with incommensurable (irrational and
transcendental) numbers, but the geometric way can be exact and have
much utility just because of that. We will apply the division of a
circle in the atomic construction below.
Yes, the exact construction is about the (exact) conservation of energy.
If
the length of a circle's straight segment (cord) is exact, then the
segment's length is unambiguous and can be expressed as a finite
number. A finite number is also a rational number. If the cord's
length were an irrational number then such number's sub-unity portion
(mantissa) is infinite and we could not agree on its exact length
but we could agree on the exact distance between the two end
points because the two end points can be constructed exactly
geometrically. Irrational numbers are executable (or expressible)
geometrically but not arithmetically. This is the second
differentiator between geometry and arithmetic.
You might skip on the diff between length and distance right now
later you may avail to the explanation and construction of the (in)commensurable
numbers.
Instructions
on dividing a circle into five equal and exact parts
in five steps:

Construction
(continued):
If
you want to construct the penta~ with the circle radius of your choice,
point A is one-half of the radius away from origin O.
When
you divide a circle into exact fifths along the periphery you now
have the template and:
Make
the pentacle
by connecting every other (second) point. If you do it counter-clockwise,
you will be doing it in the 8:5 ratio, which is harmonious, and you
should not have a problem with that once you understand that the
underlying pattern mechanics are clockwise
it's on the Venus page.
Pentacle
is the easiest and the simplest to make because it does not require
erasing. Does it mean it is the most fundamental?
- Make
the pentagram
from pentacle by erasing the circle
- Make
the five pointed star from pentagram by erasing the inside
(smaller, upside down) pentagon. Also see pentagon tiling, further on
Make
the pentagon
by connecting every neighboring point and erase the circle. Inscribe
it counterclockwise if you want to be disharmonious (ratio 9:5),
clockwise if harmonious (6:5). (Cw and ccw makes a big difference
think modulo math.)
The
~gon identifies the stars that do not skip points polygon
in general. When you say regular polygon you are emphasizing
that all segments span the same distance. (Distance is more general
than length.)
All
points of all perfect stars are on a circle and are equally and
exactly spaced going around the circle. The best way of seeing it is
that they have the exact fraction of a circle between them. As to the
actual angles between points -- see below, for these angles could be
irrational numbers. (For now, ask yourself if a protractor can give
you any irrational angle.)
|
Why should the
circle division be made of equal (evenly distanced) segments? There
is nothing wrong with unequal lengths if that's your fancy. However,
an electron's wavelength is proportional to the electron's energy and
if several wavelengths of one electron were to fit (were to
close) around the nucleus then they have to do so in whole multiples
of the same distance. It's about the numbers. |
There
are other geometric ways of constructing pentagon or pentagram
patterns and symbols. The construction presented here has the length
of the side of the pentagon c
the incommensurable
(irrational) distance that is, the measure of the side's
distance is composed of an infinite number of digits (that do not
repeat individually or as a group). Other constructions make the side c
a rational
distance, which is better suited for the Great Pyramid's purposes. In
the pyramid, one half of the side of the base is (must be) a rational
unit of measure, for such measure is executable
and can become. (For transcendentals you
may have to put a kink in that.) The connection between the five
sided pentagram and the four sided Great Pyramid is through the golden
proportion, a subject that lets you
understand how to draw and construct the Great Pyramid and include
the pinch on its side.
Determination of the pentagram's
angles is easy. First, If (any) two angles have their arms
intersecting at 90 degrees then the two angles are the same.

The central
(Egyptian) star has 360/5=72 degrees between its arms. Because the
arms (rays) of this star are at right angles to other angles then
such angles are also 72 degrees. You will note two special triangles
on the pentagram above. One has the internal angles of 72, 72, and 36
degrees while the second one's angles are 36, 36, and 108 degrees.
Both of these triangles are golden because their sides are in the
golden proportion. There are many other golden proportions on the
pentagram but these two kinds of triangles are the most important in
the micro (atomic) domain.
One Other Penta~ Construction
This one comes
from Yosifusa Hirano of 19th
Century Japan. It is elegant and also constructs the pentagon or
pentacle on radius 2.

There is a dual
approach to the pentagon construction. You can either specify the
radius of a circle or the length of a pentagon's side. In either
case, and starting with the shortest unit distance of 1, the
radius or the side's length ends up being 2. Pentagon
construction with side
length priority is on the golden proportion page.
You might have
noticed that in the five fold division of a circle the three points
made by the compass are at the corners of a right angle triangle with
sides 1 and 2. (A pin of a compass centers the radial
symmetry [masculine].) It is no coincidence that the Great Pyramid's
Grand Gallery has the vertical height (rise) of 1 and the
horizontal length of 2 while the Trough is the hypotenuse
spanning the distance of SQRT(5).
(This also establishes the unit length 1 of this pyramid.)
Is it a
coincidence that to define
Pi we need distances 1 and 2?
Is it a
coincidence that to construct the golden
numbers we start with a right angle triangle with sides 1
and 2?
Not done yet.
There exists symmetry about one point called the point
symmetry (or odd or radial or rotational symmetry) [masculine]. There
also exists symmetry about two points called the even symmetry
(or axial or line mirror symmetry) [feminine]. These two kinds of
symmetries are all-pervasive in atomic construction. Yes, everything
is coming up numbers. Now, how would you marry these two symmetries?
There is more
to 5
It is very easy to
get excited about the number 5 and begin to associate each of the
five points with other things. This is a Pythagorean site and we love
the number five but Pythagoreans also know that using numbers for
counting is introductory to the power of numbers while
correspondences are about the elemental
that is differentiating, power of numbers. The five discrete elements
in Wicca and Tao are fine, yet the visual-geometric imagery based on
the Penta~ is about the infinity (irrationality) of the golden
proportions stemming from the square root of five. With the
golden numbers you construct many shapes that extend the Penta~
beyond counting. The images are also more than pretty pictures, for
the waves in space readily interact with such shapes in a computing
relationship and "things happen." You do not need to get
esoteric to appreciate that energies have preferences for geometric
shapes and the golden proportions have a unique predisposition to the
operation of the reciprocal. (Yes, energies make things grow
but also think about the nature's way of capturing the waves'
energies.) So it is nice to recognize the golden shapes around you
even though neither the star or the number five jump out at you. What
if the Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid has its spatial distances
in the golden proportion? What if the spiral on the Eye of Horus were
made through the golden rectangle? How can you visualize the golden
ratio in financial terms? |

There are three sources and
therefore more than one meaning
of the five pointed star. One meaning has its
origin in the exact division of a circle and is discussed on this
page. It is a fairly complex though rewarding topic that leads to the
symbolism of a star issuing from a single circle. Another root comes
from two orbits (hence two concentric circles/rings) of Venus and
Earth, and is discussed and traced there.
(Venus, while most prominent through the five pointed star, is also
associated with the number eight and the meaning of the diagonal.)
The third source of the five pointed star calls on non-concentric rings
{Dec 19, 2009}. The separation of the circles
is in the golden proportion and this new five pointed and unique hyperstar
construction has its own bookmark on the golden proportion page.
This brings us to
the diff between the pentagram
sign/drawing, aka the Pythagorean Pentalpha, and
the pentacle .
The pentagram is a five pointed star drawn with five straight lines.
The pentacle has a circle(s)
around the star. Yet, these are but technical differences. There are
three separate origins associated with the pentagram and you may want
to show the pentacle to point out the root. In other words, the
pentagram always issues from orbits/orbitals (circles) and there are
three separate ways to do so, as follows:
1) A
single circle around the star makes it the classical pentacle
that comes from atomic construction, and a single circle shows the
standing wave around the nucleus. Pagan-wise the classical pentacle
stands for earth and if you think of it as 'materia' it's a close match.
2)
Two concentric circles around the star make it the cosmic pentacle
and the two circles are the orbits of Venus and Earth (can be
computed via modulo math from the clockwise 8:5 orbit ratio). Points
are between the two orbits and the pentagram rotates (why that is so
is on the Venus
page). For Pagans the double circle around the star is about 'drawing
down the Goddess' and the particular circle diameters are calculated
on the Venus page as well.
3)
Separated but interlocked circles (rings) with centers at the
"hips" of the pentagram shows two separate atoms joined in
a molecule, which I call the hyperstar pentacle. This
is new and I don't presently know of anybody applying the hyperstar
pentacle. My feel is associating it with friendship, marriage and
angels. I like using it in Tai Chi and here is an
example.
Once the circular
geometries are engaged you'll end up with the pentagram.
It is then okay to draw just the pentagram but you want to draw the
various pentacles if you want to show where the pentagram is coming
from. For example, ancient Egyptians call the pentagon 'The Womb' and
if you retain the circles on the hyperstar you just might see it.
Pythagorean
pentagram/pentacle symbolism is a bit more
sophisticated. The pentagram is encircled once and then a second ring
is added as a piece of jewelry. The second ring is then at the right
angle to the first.
Regarding the
Satanic or evil side of the pentagram or pentacle, consider
it a feeble attempt at corruption by the self-proclaimed
sign-of-the-beast creator and ex-priest Levi. You want to know where
corruption comes from and then you are in position to overcome it. In
this case the upside down pentagram could issue from natural rotation
of the cosmic pentacle in the solar plane and then the satanic notion
loses its meaning once you appreciate that the cosmic pentacle's
rotation does not stop and there is no 'up' and 'down' of the solar
plane to begin with (but cw
and ccw can be differentiated -- think angular momentum 3D).
When it comes to the hyperstar pentacle, the up-and-down points form
a ten-pointed hyperstar (not ten-sided)
yielding a North-South axis with very unusual properties. The axis
can become absolute under spin and symbolically has a touch of
Tartaros (or Tartarus) -- but, as a Pythagorean you know what the
post is about.
In the case of the
classical pentacle the upside down notion also has no meaning,
for the five-fold atomic orbital is symmetrical about the atomic core
and is free to rotate without appreciable symbolism. (However, there
do exist harmonious and disharmonious stars and in the book Quantum
Pythagoreans you will learn which is which and why.)
On the political
side, particularly in the association with Communist power,
you want to be cognizant that the five pointed star issues from
orbits and the star is always a 2D entity. Making the star into a 3D
star (the likes of the Kremlin) points to the lack of understanding
on the root of the star's creation. |

The
radius measure of 2
(diameter of 4) in our pentagonal construction on the left is the
outcome of using the shortest applied distance as the unit 1.
This is not because you couldn't divide by two (you can -- and work
with ½ as the distance OA, for example), but if you
construct other structures such as the the Great Pyramid with the
shortest distance as the unit 1, you will always be in sync
with your numbers from one structure to the next. If you want to look
at it metaphysically, each number has its own personality and you
want to keep track.
So
you think you know your numbers and you might think it's okay to
reduce them to your liking. But if you
construct the Great
Pyramid with the golden numbers and use the shortest
distance as the unit 1, you will arrive at the pyramid's base
as having the length of 4.
The base of the Great Pyramid is then 4 times of some unit of
measure. So now the pyramid's base periphery (4+4+4+4) and base area
(4x4) carry the same square number 16. You see, if you
reduce the numbers and think of the pyramid's base as having the unit
length of, say, two, the base periphery would have eight units of
length but the base area would be but four (square) units. If you do
not reduce the numbers you can think of the number 16 in the context
of acceleration (unit of measure per time squared) and derive a unit
of length that is most appropriate for this planet [yeah, it's a foot].
Rational
numbers are
commensurable numbers -- that is, they all
have finite or repeating sub-unity part of a number (mantissa) and
all can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Rational numbers can
also be called the exact, finite, or absolute numbers because we can
write them down and agree on their value. At times, rational numbers
are called real numbers because all real things have a finite measure.
Rational
numbers happen when we ratio two integers. All
mainstream mathematicians define the rational number as the ratio of
any two integers. So, a mainstream math guy would say, "Of
course the rational number is a ratio of two integers -- it is
defined that way." Yet, you really do not want to be mainstream
and acquire but an encyclopedia knowledge of the world. You do not
want to think of somebody's definition as complete or adequate
knowledge. You know that a rational number is a finite number (has
finite or repeating mantissa) and once it is finite it can be
expressed as a fraction of two integers. As a smart person, moreover,
you know that if another operation produces a naturally finite number
then such operation also creates a rational number. The circumference
of a circle is a transcendental number. Many of circle's round
segments (arches) are transcendental numbers and their straight cord
could be an irrational number -- and both of these numbers have an
infinite mantissa (infinite precision). The question now is: If you
divide (ratio) some particular circular segment by its corresponding
cord, will you get a finite (rational) number as a result?
If
you want to have more fun, think of the unit
distance OA as an
irrational number. Even Euclid
did not think of the number 1 as just a counting number. |
|
Some
Pythagoreans view the number two as a problem
number because it "divides the unity." Pythagoreans
discourage division of the unit 1 because it could create
problems elsewhere -- but the number 2 is certainly not the
culprit. (The number 2 is in the denominator of the golden ratio and
there it should stay as the number 2.) As you get familiar with this
site the sub-unity will become applicable to atomic orbitals and
hence the number 1 is the Great Divide between the
macro-cosmic and micro-atomic. [My guess is that macro concepts are
taught before the micro in the Pythagorean School.]
Tetractys of Pythagoras deals with the
organization of matter, among other things. |

A circle has many
positive connotations. What would be the idea of dividing it? Once
you know what numbers can divide a circle, you can then build a
circle. Not [yet] from real things such as wood or metal but from
waves. It turns out that the waves must have a particular wavelength
count (a particular multiple of particular energies) before these
waves are able to close in a circle -- and thus be symmetrical about
a point. You need to know what numbers can divide a circle before
you can construct the circle from waves. You might think this is
something witches do, and you would be right, but an electron is a
wave that wraps around the nucleus, too.
There is (always)
a bit more to this. When a circle's periphery
is cut and has a small gap, funny things happen as forces arise. One
could call this a circle corruption and in a way it is. Yet the
forces that arise are not corrupting, for they attempt to close the
circle and..
The making of a circle
is also about taking a step from 1D to 2D. There, you will find the
friendly transcendental number Pi.
To round it off, you may want to learn more about the squaring
of a circle, for it is about the straight and curving
geometries. We did not forget the ancient Egyptians and use the
example of the five pointed star as one of the steps in working the
circle and the square. |

Ah, geometry
Not everybody likes geometry. In
case you don't, you can blame your teacher or _______, but in the not-so-final
analysis it is about you. Geometry is about movement and placement
in space, from an atom in your body to your ship as a whole. Lots of
geometry is in a plane and you have a good argument if you say your
head is not flat. So let me cut to the chase. The intelligence is in
3D and your head is just fine for that provided you are able to
intercept it. Lots of free energy is in 2D and it can be harnessed
there once you figure out how to relate 3D to 2D. The linear movement
is in 1D while the wheel and gravitation need 0D for spin. Your
challenge, desire, need, or necessity is to understand and work the
tetra(ctys) of 0D through 3D because that is how the universe is
built and you want to continue to be a nifty and smart participant in it. |

Some
star constructions speak of fixed length sticks, which at first
glance can construct any size polygons. Here is
where the executability
of angles comes up. In space, the
irrational angle is constructible only approximately and only
some angles will be actualized
think snowflake formation. Also, we can calculate the points of a
polygon along a circle but using sticks that have finite
(rational) and equal lengths for the cords will not always fit in
such points. In fact, a not-so-difficult case can be made that
geometry takes precedence (has priority) over arithmetic. [If you are
a scientist, you may think of Emmy Noether who ignored the nature's
beauty of snowflakes and made simplifying assumptions about space
that proved the 'ignorance is bliss' postulate for in her
world everything is reduced and snowflakes and crystals don't exist.]
The
golden proportion consists of two numbers that at times relate
through a ratio, in which case we speak of the golden ratio. The
two golden numbers consist of one irrational (1
+ SQRT(5)) and one rational number (2)
and, because they may relate to each other through multiplication or
division or addition or subtraction or.., they should not be reduced
into a single number. Reduction into a single number severely limits
the application of the golden
proportion and that is one reason
scientists like to reduce it as the Phi [scientists have reductionist
tendencies perhaps not a disease but it could be a handicap].
Reduction into one number hides other relationships the two golden
numbers might have.
You
can calculate the area of any polygon by taking the area of the
triangle and multiplying by the number of sides. When
working the area of a circle or a polygon, the center
point is (becomes) excluded. (If you are
metaphysically inclined, think Isis looking for all parts.) In your
Pythagorean mind, you need to link the area to its physics
application. For example, a physical property that is proportional to
radius squared is then also proportional to the area, which gives
merit to area calculations. This is bigger than it seems. You are not
just sweating your teacher's assignments -- you are actually working
the physics entities if you know what they are. |

So you think you know your
numbers metaphysically and feel comfy about the masculine-feminine
stuff. You might be dividing by 2 and think it
feminine. Not so. Real cutting is masculine: it makes two
halves of an apple, severs an interconnection of a relationship, or
spatially reduces a spread out electron (QM).
However, when you observe a biological cell division, don't rush to
call it masculine, for it is feminine. You'll have to get into
symmetries to understand this. Meanwhile, don't make the silly
mistake of equating masculine with a man and feminine with a woman --
unless you want to give up on one half of your brain. |

Here is a simple yet powerful
construction that
1) Divides
any distance exactly in half;
2) Erects
the perfect right and square angle; and
3) Makes a
true square using any circle centered at O (at the intercept
of horizontal and vertical axes). A square is also a four pointed star
Only straightedge
and compass are needed. (Straightedge is an unmarked ruler.)
Both arches have
the same radius.
Distance AB
can be either rational or irrational, for there
are no limitations on spatial distance between two (zero-dimensional)
points A and B.
Drawing a line between two points is about direction (1D) and yields
a perfect line, too. If you want to know the minimum separation
between points before the line could become a real line, take a look
at Absolute
Minimum Length (it's about the infinitesimal).
If distance AB
is irrational, should it be dashed? If so, why? |

Perfect
star families
It
is easy to draw stars using geometry's tools, a straightedge and
compass. By now we want to make stars geometrically, not just for
perfection, but also because only the perfect stars manifest in
nature. A circle can be divided exactly into 2,
3, 5,
15, and 17
equal segments, technically called regular polygons. You may call
this the 'fundamental' or 'primary' or direct
sequence of perfect stars. Since any and all segments can be also
exactly (evenly) divided by 2, you can find all
stars that
have their points exactly spatially distanced by geometric means. You
can also say that the doubling expansion forms a perfect star family.
For
example, you can make an eight point star or a 64 point star from a
two point star through simple halving of distances. From a three
point star (below) you can make the exact hexagon and from there the
twelve point star of the Zodiac or do a layout for a twenty four
point Feng Shui star.
Starting
with a 2 point star
the only direct even star
you can construct 4, 8, 16, etc. stars that you could also label the
'evenly even' sequence of stars. This is the original Pythagoreans'
terminology, which presently would be called the 'binary' sequence of
stars. From the 3 point star you can continue to halve each side to
make 6, 12, 24, etc. stars. From the five point star you can make 10,
20, or 40 point stars.
Every perfect star
with the even number of points will have symmetry about an axis and
about a point. If you think there is no such thing as a two
point star, it is on the Venus page and it is formed by the
combined Neptune-Pluto 3:2 orbit.
The
stars that are left out from direct and doubling constructions
cannot be constructed exactly. For example, you cannot make a nine
point star directly
or indirectly from a three point star. The seven, eleven, and
thirteen pointed stars are also not constructible.
Numbers
that divide a circle exactly could have a name of their own. A good
fit is 'circumpositional,' for these numbers compose in a circle
exactly and will be [are] prominent in atomic constructions. {Mar
21, 2006}. The most
interesting (and important) aspect is that even if a star is
constructible exactly via geometry, the very same star cannot be
constructed exactly via arithmetic.
Carl Gauss
"recently" added the 17 sided polygon as the perfect star.
The 15 sided polygon is in Euclid's
Elements, Book 4, Proposition 16. |
|
|
Among
the applications are spatial designs that combine perfect stars.
In watch design, for example, the circle being divided by twelve
looks fine but, in addition, it is harmonious to overlay the 12 point
layout with triangular, square, or pentagonal designs. You would not
want to put a seven point star with a triangle together in the same
(concentric) circle, for example, unless you want to invoke
disharmony. Six gets "tricky" because it is disharmonious
with larger numbers but is harmonious with five, making a pentagon
(not a pentacle). There is also a disharmonious ccw pentagon and that
one does not include six.
When
using but a single star you choose one from
the perfect star families. When combining stars, however, you also
must deal with harmony. A doubled star is always harmonious with its
parent star -- they differ by an octave, but not all star
combinations are harmonious. |

One interesting property of the
perfect star families is that they do not intersect. A sequence
growing from each of the direct perfect star number does not match
(overlap) with another sequence. That is,
from 2 we get 4, 8, 16,
32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc
from 3 we get 6, 12, 24,
48, 96, 192, 384, 768, ..
from 5 we get 10, 20, 40,
80, 160, 320, 640, ..
from 15 we get 30, 60,
120, 240, 480, 960, ..
from 17 we get 34, 68,
136, 272, 544, ..
Each member of the perfect
all-star family has but one origin.
The perfect star families of
numbers introduce some changes to our perception of
universe building and how everyday reality happens to come about.
Mathematicians can make all kinds of star constructions, in 2D and 3D
but only the perfect star families can begin
to bridge the straight line energies, such as photonic energy, with
circular orbits and orbital energies. Because the vast majority of
the real energy in the universe is in the form of spinning or orbital
energy
that is, energy having angular momentum, the perfect star families of
numbers take the front seat. Scientists can draw all kinds of curves
but these are usually fancies. Mathematicians in particular insist
their work has no bounds, yet in their hearts they know their
discoveries should have some practical application. |

resulting in a perfect hexagon or hexagram.
You can verify
(using the Pythagorean Theorem) that the relation between the cord c and
cord (radius) r is:
c2
= 3·r2
What physical
entity is proportional to r2?
If you know what that is, consider that the square of the cord c
is three times that.
Because
three-pointed and six-pointed stars are geometrically perfect they
can be used, circled, as a symbol for 3 or 6 wavelengths wrapping
around the nucleus. However, a hexagon and hexagram reduce into a
triangle under modulo math for harmonious ratios and do not manifest
in orbits (macro) -- that is, showing six-pointed stars with two
circles does not reflect nature. A six-pointed star could be of some
interest regarding energy accumulation and
we included it in the numerology
section on the Pythagorean page.
Without a circle,
a triangle symbolizes 3-state
systemic (complete) systems, each state being in one corner.
Such triangle, then, has no metric as it is a logical, say clockwise,
process. (Some systemic systems call for quaternaries -- think
ancient Egyptians.) For Pythagoreans
a triangle provides bounds for the ten dots of Tetractys (a
triangular numeral 10), which also becomes one facet of a tetrahedron
(projection from the apex [or from your eye]). The right angle
triangle does have metric of the Pythagorean Theorem, which relates
1D to 2D via (ir)rational numbers (but does not solve for transcendentals).
When you see a
triangle with some symbol in the center (a dot, an eye, dragon), take
such symbol into 3D of the apex of a tetrahedron to see if it means
something to you.

The puzzle of a
bad souffle: Given a square, construct a new square that is
exactly one third of the original square.
|
 |
You can be fairly
certain that the person will try to partition the square in some way
but the solution is to erect a triangle on the square's side and then
obtain the radius for the circle that covers the triangle. Radius r
is the side of the new square. [In our case the bad souffle does not
cave in but runs over the rim.]
It is not possible
to reverse engineer a souffle without stepping
back and understanding the relationships between the ingredients and
their proportions
as well as the irreversible nature of the baking process.
Can you apply the
construction of the geometric
mean in the solution of this puzzle? Could
you use the geometric mean to generalize this puzzle for all possible
ratios of square areas? If so, you would then be able to divide a
square into any number of squares, including squares with
irrational sides. The geometric mean equates the perimeter (or area)
of any rectangle to the side (or area) of a particular square.
Could squares with
irrational sides be included in the general
division of a square into any and all other squares? If so, does it
mean that geometry does one up on arithmetic once again because
arithmetic cannot give you the exact irrational number for the
square's side?
Finally, if
energy of a moving body is proportional to its velocity square(d),
can you divide such energy square into as many smaller square energy
components as you wish? (Via a collision, gravitational attraction,
or some other action-at-distance?) |

Tiling of
pentagons and stars
Tiling
does not involve direct construction but only translation and/or
rotation in two dimensions. Translations are linear (straight)
motions and are always symmetrical about a line (edge) [feminine]
while rotations are always symmetrical about a point [masculine].
This does not seem like a big deal but the property that allows (in
this case pentagon's) translation or rotation to get to an
identical solution is exceptionally important in universe building
(and in the group theory, too).
 
Tiling
of five pentagons to make a cool five pointed star was (first?)
published by Kepler
in Astronomia Nova |
|
When
the "ancients" instructed us to use the straightedge and
compass, they were not really talking about constraints because they
were talking about geometry. Rotation about a
point is about the use of the compass. Straight movement
(translation) is about a symmetry about a line and perhaps you could
see now that the line of symmetry is a virtual line that is,
the line of symmetry is an empty slit. (Would you go as far as to
have Justice brandishing her sword with a slit down the middle of the
blade?). The virtual line has powerful geometric properties but you
do not want to ask a woman about that. Not that you couldn't, it's
just that the explanation is nonverbal. |
The
pentagon template for the illustration on the
left was obtained with MS PowerPoint by selecting AutoShapes ..
Basic Shapes. Pick the pentagon object.
|
|
If
you tile five pentagons you get the five point star in the center.
Now, if you take five five-pointed stars and arrange them around with
their points touching, do you get a pentagon in the center? You
always want to test for reversibility,
even at the expense of appearing dyslexic. Relations are reversible
only under certain conditions and you want to know what they are. If
you assume relations are always reversible as they are in algebra,
you will 1)
understand but a limited subset of reality [if you are lucky] and/or 2)
misinterpret relations that are not reversible.
For example, if
there is a quantum mechanical explanation of gas pressure, there
could be a way of making the phenomena reversible. Now, how would you
reverse the rotation of a light mill? (Give it
a thought and get the
answer.)
We readily apply
force to get things moving. So, how would you reverse 'something' and
have the force arise? |
|
Testing for
reversibility is crucial in the understanding of relationships. Dyslexia
is a condition that is constantly reversing relationships in all
modalities: verbal, tonal, geometric, written -- to see if the
reversal acquires another meaning, valid or not. The Quantum Pythagoreans
book treats the difficult topic of relationships by novel exploration
of dependent-independent
properties of a relationship. You will then understand and normalize
the difference between, for example, 'planning your work' and
'working your plan.' |
|
|

 |
|
The
tiling construction that is, movement about a point
and/or translation along a line, of some objects may result in the
appearance of another object. This is at times referred to as
"negative space." While it is true that the original object
is real and in some respects positive, the 'negative space' label is
but an introductory way of looking at it (and the left-brain way at
that). A good way is to see this as the act of creation of the virtual object.
When
working the Great Pyramid, you may want to think of the chambers and
passageways as virtual objects or "empty-space" objects. It
really helps.

Self
test:-) Straighten up two adjacent fingers. Do
you see a difference if you think of these fingers as two closely
spaced pencils or as an empty slit or space that is between
the pencils? Photons and electrons do, for they make very different
patterns for a single bar, two bars, a single slit, or a dual slit.
For
homework: 1) How
is it possible, and 2)
What is the utility of the result that one pattern ends up in the
left side of the brain while the other in the right side? |

Geometry
versus Arithmetic
|
Ancient
Greek-speaking scholars debated geometry and arithmetic, and
understood the complexities even without a PC.
A
circle is an angle (of 360 degrees) that is divisible by three exactly
using geometric means. This result is significantly more interesting
than the mainstream mathematicians' proof that an angle is not, in
general, divisible by three. If you think of a circle with the orbit
(cosmic) and/or orbital (atomic) applications in mind, you will see
there is lots of fun in figuring out what works[, rather than beefing
up your resume with things that don't]. So,
the ancient riddle about dividing the angle into thirds has more
than one answer and no answer is the wrong answer. It is, however, a
parting, or the "Tau" riddle that to some makes all the difference.
A
circle cannot be divided by 7 or 9 equally and exactly. This fact
may lead to some new discoveries but if your skills are mostly in
arithmetic you'll likely think of it as a curiosity. That is the
basis of reductionism, for a reductionist first makes a claim that
arithmetic is just as good as geometry (brain "grouping"),
and then happily ignores the advantages of geometry. Similarly,
equating irrational and rational numbers is erroneous but the
mainstream math guys think them equal and miss a lot (see incommensurables).
Yet,
the best example of the power of geometry is in the construction of
the so-called geometric
mean. Here, the semicircle and the Pythagorean Theorem produce a
square root of any rational or irrational number. In addition,
the geometric mean can multiply two irrational numbers together and
produce an exact result, the infinite mantissa and all. No computer
can do that.
It
is now time to visit the angles of a circle. Can we map the angles
in such a way as to obtain correspondence between geometry and arithmetic? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arithmetic
makes it strange
In
a calculator, the angle of 360 degrees is divisible by 9 without a
remainder, but this is but an arithmetic computation. In geometry,
the circumference of a circle issues from Pi,
which is a transcendental number and so you cannot be arbitrary
about the length of the circle or the exactness of an angle inside a
circle. Consequently, a division of a circle into an arbitrary
integer quantity of equal and
exact segments (or angles) is not possible.
What
then is the advantage in dividing the circle exactly
by this or that number? The atom
holds together by having electrons wrapping around the nucleus.
Because the electron's momentum is also a wave (de Broglie),
the electron's wave must evenly, that is exactly, close upon itself
to form a standing and a round wave that is symmetrical about a
point. To the Pythagoreans the numbers are everything and this is
because numbers actually create things.
The
mainstream scientists' argument that "computer's representation
of an irrational number is close enough" is, unfortunately, not
relevant to atomic construction. Scientists just do not know how to
interpret 'precise' and 'exact' in an applications setting. The
scientist can divide the circle by nine to a very large number of
decimal places, but there will never
be a wavelength
that would fit
nine times around the circle of the orbital. Incidentally, 'fit' is
the original (superior?) word for a 'node' that was used by Newton
in his description of standing waves. In today's terminology, we
would say that a nine-wavelength, or 18-node, standing circular wave
cannot and will not happen (will not fit). Numbers 7, 9, 11, 13, 19,
21, 22, 23, 25 and others cannot divide a circle exactly. Most of
these numbers are incomposite (prime) numbers. Number 9, though, is a
composite number but it cannot be used to divide a circle exactly.
[Does this mean the Chinese Emperors could not sing? Having said
that, they might have been good golf players.] Number 5 is
incomposite but can be used to divide a circle exactly. What is
needed, then, is a class of numbers that compose
in a circle,
instead of just being composite numbers (composed of products of
other numbers). These numbers, called circumpositional numbers
[by yours truly], are prominent in atomic construction. Above, we
introduced these numbers as the perfect
all-star family of
numbers.
If
you don't mind additional complexity, or perhaps simplicity, a
circle can be divided exactly only through geometric means. Another
way of saying 'geometric means' is 'spatial distance means.' Yes, the
circumference of a circle is a transcendental number and a division
of any transcendental number by any real number remains
transcendental. The computer can use only real numbers and the length
of the circumference is then rounded off if it is to be stored in a
computer. What this also means that a computer cannot give you a
perfect star. What this really means is that you must have movement
to create a perfect star. In other words, you cannot make a perfect
star via placement or measurement (statically, topologically) with a
computer or a computer-calibrated protractor. As
a Pythagorean, you might realize that you cannot construct the
perfect star without a compass
that is, you need rotation to complete exact constructions. A larger
implication is that there must be movement even at the atomic core
level -- and under radial symmetry the movement is also about
frequency. (You might guess here is one of the gateways to
gravitation and yes, the philosopher's stone opens up to the
alchemist.) The necessity of a movement permeates everything. Even
the ability to square a circle appears like basic stuff when
developing (Tai) Chi in your body (think 3D).
Arithmetically,
no star creation
is perfect. Worse yet, arithmetic operations with real numbers give
no clue if a particular number is or is not divisible into a circle
exactly. A circle's periphery divided by any rational number remains
a transcendental number that is, arithmetic keeps
transcendental numbers unchanged. But what if you could geometrically
divide one incommensurable (transcendental) number by another
incommensurable (irrational) number and get an exact result? There
may be more to it than just being nifty, for you are dividing one
infinite (mantissa) by another infinite and get a rational
number with finite mantissa as a result. [Does it mean we could do
one up on the gods?] |
|
|
Arithmetic
makes it practical
Pythagoreans
had a category of numbers they called 'abundant.' Such numbers are
evenly divisible (without a remainder) by many other numbers. Number
24 (hours in a day) is a good example as it is divisible by 2, 3, 4,
6, 8, and 12. As convenient (abundant) as the number 24 is, we
presently divide the day only by 2 (am and pm) and by 3 (work part),
and possibly by 12 (entertainment). Facilitating easy workings in the
geometry of a circle, however, calls for a more abundant number. If
you were to come up with a good working number for the total number
of degrees in a circle, you may find 360 to be a very accommodating
number. 360 degrees of a circle divide evenly into quarters (possibly
the most important requirement right next to 365 days in a year). It
divides evenly by 5, 10, and 20, too. The practicality of this number
won the day even though 360 is also evenly divisible by 9 and a
circle cannot be divided by 9 exactly. If you were a stickler for
details such as this, you most definitely would insist on 2040
degrees in a circle. 2040 is evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,
10, 15, and 17 --
all numbers that divide a circle exactly through geometric means. The
good old 360 is not evenly divisible by 17 and that means that exact
geometrically-obtained angles do not necessarily have a whole numbers
of degrees if we stick to the present 360 quantity notation. Both 360
and 2040 are not evenly divisible by 7, 11, and 13 -- as it should
be. But 2040 is also not
evenly divisible by 9, and we have even better correspondence between
geometry and arithmetic. The year 2040 could be the most harmonious
year coming up. [But don't tell IRS. They'll put this number on a
form and spoil it.]
Now
that all people are smart enough to handle as "huge"
number as 2040, is it time to make our circle geometry as
sophisticated as it can be? Are you ready for the sum of internal
angles in a triangle to equal 1020 degrees instead of 180? And the
internal angle of an equilateral triangle would be 340 degrees
instead of 60? Even if you could legislate the change and
during the French Revolution they "legislated" 100 degrees
in a circle and 100 minutes in an hour -- the bottom line is that
there is no perfect number for a quantity of degrees in a circle that
would be a whole number or even a rational number. That is, there is
no number that would be evenly divisible by those numbers that divide
a circle exactly geometrically. In our example of the 2040, this
number is not evenly divisible by 16. [Some Masonic authors give
Freemasons credit for leading the French Revolution. If so, they
would certainly be quite ignorant on what to do in the aftermath
all their Gs notwithstanding.]
Whole
numbers and rational numbers are called real numbers a good
name. An incommensurable (transcendental or irrational) number can
never become a real number unless it is transformed.
The transformation is irreversible because we cannot save an
irrational number such as SQRT(2)
in a computer and retrieve it as (convert it back into) the original
irrational number without first taking a nip
off the number think Ouroboros and visit Circle
and Pi. Reversing the transformation calls
for addition of the virtual energy [think Isis and possibly Thoth if
you are familiar with his eye restoration story].
If
you want to get deeper into transformations of rational (real) and
irrational numbers think ancient Egyptian fractions [here, you
will need to appreciate three things: 1)
Ancient Egyptian fractions are quite sophisticated; 2)
Present day scientists are clueless as to the ancient Egyptian
fraction applications or origin; and 3)
Our present civilization is not necessarily advancing.]
When
dividing a circle with the straightedge and compass, the goal is to
make the number to become,
for the number's geometric construction creates something specific
to that number. There is, then, more to numbers than philosophy, and
you may want to visit the original number apps guys, Pythagoras and
his fellow Pythagoreans.
There is a treatment there of real, virtual, and irrational numbers.
Irrationals and transcendentals are in the family of incommensurables
but transcendentals are not constructible through the Pythagorean
Theorem (from 2D of the curve to 1D of the hypotenuse), while
additional differences between irrationals is based on applications.
[There are good and bad numbers and some of them have an infinite mantissa.] |
|
What
does a star in a circle represent? What is the meaning and symbolism
of a star inside a single circle? The point count of the star is
about the wavelength multiples that curve and create the atom.
Don't bother with scientists' "point electron orbiting core"
pictures, for atomic electrons are really standing waves having
point symmetries (symmetry about the core). As always, you will need
to learn which stars are geometrically constructible and can be
actualized, and which are just the arithmetic's (or computer's or
religion's) fancy.
Is
the atomic core composed of standing waves? You
bet. Scientists have way too much invested in the solid and static
core hypothesis and so it is safe to talk about the pulsing and
standing waves of the core. Scientists are way off and, for example,
they made up "strong nuclear force" because they do not
understand the wave nature of the core. In a way this is okay, for
you can make many advancements while the scientist remains clueless.
For example, the core's shape is not necessarily spherical.
With
all their equations, scientists think highly
of whatever it is they describe with them. Saying that the scientist
will remain clueless is no idle talk, however. On our Circle
& Pi page we also highlight the inadequacy of algebra, for
algebra's constructs cannot deal with the operation of equivalence.
Algebra completely misses irreversibility, too.
As
a Pythagorean you want to figure out what entity will prevail in the
interaction with a standing-wave electron and
with a standing-wave proton. Why, could you then do a precision
surgery on the atom?
The
eight
pointed star has diagonal (semicardinal)
directions and if the meaning of a diagonal is in some respects
special (it is) then the eight pointed star could be about something
else besides counting points. It is about Venus, too. |
|
|
Seven
Pointed Star
A circle
cannot be divided by seven exactly. Yes, we can leave it at that
except that the number seven is the first number with such property.
When things are happening inside a circle
that is, when things are spinning and evolving, the wave folding
encounters the number seven and consequent inability to fit around
the circle (and make a perfect star). When you examine the
Mesoamerican Hunab
Ku symbol, there are two seven-sided areas (heptagons) and now
the challenge is to explain that. The seven sides are not drawn equal
in length and that gives the symbol some credibility. The heptagons
pivot into 3D and now it gets really intriguing. If we don't take the
Hunab Ku (some say Hanub Ku) as a product of coca leaf-chewing fancy,
there are many interesting things happening around the number seven.
Historical
Note
Johann Balmer
was the guy who opened wide the barn doors of quantum
mechanics. He came up with the relation that produces a sequence
of numbers matching the wavelengths of light coming from hydrogen.
These are not just any numbers
they are wavelengths corresponding to particular electron jumps and
no other. Balmer did for quantum mechanics what Kepler
did for gravitation: He came up with the math equation that matched
known experimental data and made successful predictions of other new,
yet undiscovered, wavelengths. But there is a bit more to it. Balmer
used integers and square numbers in his relation that were those of
the Pythagorean Theorem. Well, good ol' Pythagoras was not only right
all along but the breadth of his -- some say HIS -- teaching was also
the foundation of quantum mechanics. Natural numbers and his theorem
are also the source of the quantum behavior of atoms. |
|
 |
|
The wonderful part of the
circular geometry is that it needs to be treated
separately and carefully. Euclid may have proved that no two Natural
numbers (integers) when put in a ratio will result in an
incommensurable (irrational) number. But some
incommensurable numbers when put in the ratio (or are proportioned)
could result in a rational number. You may want to reflect on what it
means. As far as Euclid goes, not much. After all, Euclid talks about
what does not happen. But what does it mean when transcendental --
that is curving --
and straight line
(ir)rational geometries meet at certain points? Think transformations.
Then there are the
scales of the fish [yeah, the dumb fish]. The
sweeps of the scales subtend a particular angle. Do you think a fish
could fly or extract energy from the swirling water around it by
using the geometry of its scales? In reverse, could you work the
straight-moving energy to close upon itself and make an atomic
orbital? Think pyramid geometry. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This topic is
expanded and has a page of its own. To reconcile the
straight and the curving, you will be dealing with the squaring of a
circle. Algebra works fine when things are straight or polynomial
but, generally, when geometry picks up another dimension and lines
start to be circular the equations are not enough as the
transcendentals come up. The relationship of the squaring
of a circle to this page's perfect division of a circle is in
the possibility of linearizing the curved segments (arches) of a
circle and then making a tractable exchange between curving
and straight topologies. So there is a continuation to 'how to draw a
star' and it deals with energy. Can we say that geometry is about
energy? Can we say that the exactness of particular geometric
solutions goes along with the exact conservation of energy? Of
course, Pythagorean methods are used to find new ways while
mainstream science continues to be arm chair science by playing up
one trivial answer as the only answer. At times politicians pick up
the 'square a circle' analogy and then you should know they are
trying to find excuses and "explain" failures to their
supposedly dumb constituents.

complexity of our environment is oftentimes worked through alchemy.

Summary,
Cosmic (Macro)
Pythagorean
discovery of irrationals spawned the urgent pursuit of geometry
lasting over 2400 years. Kepler brought arithmetic to the forefront
by establishing the mathematical and arithmetic relations of heavenly
orbits. In effect and in fact, Kepler introduced the parameter of
time in the mathematical context, which made it possible to make
planetary position forecasts forecasting being Kepler's life
long passion. Because any two gravitationally interacting
bodies always have a solution, the parameter of time derived from
such periodic solutions is also repeatable (periodic) and time can be
used to make forecasts. Even though time is always a derived
(dependent) variable, the mathematical solution establishes
reversibility and allows the time parameter derived from this
system to be
used. (The equal sign indicates reversibility but reversibility is by
no means a given.) Another way of seeing the mathematical solution
and consequent time reversibility is that the spatial distance
(space) and time form an overlay. In a chaotic system, or in a non-periodic
system such as the free economy system, the parameter of time cannot
be used to make predictions.
Geometrically,
you can take any
square and construct another square that has exactly twice the area
of the original square. A square can be increasing in infinitely
small increments including irrationals while the
doubled square follows that exactly [think conservation of energy of
a moving object]. This is something your computer cannot do. If you
think this is no big deal and it is something for the ancients to
contemplate that's fine. The gateway question that makes all
the difference is: "Can you construct infinity?" Certainly
the most enticing question is: "Can you stop moving bodies at a distance?" |
Summary,
Atomic
(Micro)
Light
is understood as moving or standing linear -- that is,
straight, waves following Newton's analysis of fringes (first
observed as fringe rings). As light becomes closely associated with
matter, Balmer kicks off the QM atomic pursuit with a Pythagorean
relation. A wavefunction is understood as a probability distribution
of an atomic particle -- a great step forward by Heisenberg and von
Neumann. A moving particle has momentum but momentum can also
be worked as a wave -- a second great step, this time by de Broglie.
A moving electron now gets to become a wave as well, but this wave
must curve that is, become circular, and close
upon itself in a symmetry about a point (about a core). The circular
(or rounded) electron orbital and the straight path of light need to
be energy-reconciled through the squaring of a circle the
first difficult hurdle.
Ether
is taken out of science's purview, which is the Great Reduction
making the scientist that much poorer in the end. Scientists cannot
make headway and talk about impossibilities. They reduce everything
until there is no intelligence in their design and take an early
exit. (In their last hurrah the angry mob bashes and trashes cold
fusion.) Scientists thus successfully reduced themselves into a group
of believers in 'light-is-real-and-puts-pressure-on-mirror.' While
much of today's physics rests on it, the scientist has no guts and no
brains to perform the actual experiment measuring the presumed
pressure light puts on a mirror. Scientists are not able to face up
to the truth that a light beam does not and cannot put pressure on a
mirror and so they are stuck perpetuating, defending, and
proselytizing their dogma.
Meanwhile,
geometry is receiving new impetus by reviving its superiority over
arithmetic and algebra. The golden proportion, the infinite and
instant wavefunction superposition, the understanding of irrational
and transcendental numbers, linearizing particular segments of a
circle, and the possibility of creating electron waves with
harmonics-series energy components just might get the atomic
understanding going again perhaps in another country, perhaps
by another group of professionals. |
The
other Five
If
planetary orbits interlock in 8/5 or 6/5 ratios, a five
point star orbit
results when the two planets are computationally combined. Venus and
the pentacle get their say and, because the pentagram/pentacle also
originates from the orbits, there is yet another way of drawing the pentagram/pentacle
that deals with the "proper sequence" and "proper
orientation" of making the points. Different ratios correspond
to particular clockwise and counterclockwise stars. A good question
for orbit ratios 6/5 and 8/5 is:
Arithmetically,
we can calculate the angles of the pentagon and derive the equation
that allows the computer to draw the pentagon. You may have also
constructed stars on paper, but how does Nature draw the pentagon or
a pentagram on the canvas of space?
|
The
planetary pentagram and the five fold atomic orbital make the five
pointed star a joining symbol for both the macro and the micro. |
While
the atom's orbitals are symmetrical about a point (have radial
symmetry), the valence orbitals in a molecule need to close
around two points of symmetry (the cores of the atoms are some
distance apart). Yes, the HyperStar has an answer to that on
our golden
proportions page. {Dec,

Pentagon
Pyramid |
|

|
Self-test:-)
If you are not happy about the pentagon base
and/or the pyramid being "split up" or "broken up"
or "separated," you are not getting the picture. You may
want to think about the red part as being the tangible component
while the blue part is the intangible (knowledge, virtual) component.
If that does not help, stay in 2D [earthbound?] where the pentagon is continuous.
If
you think Two rather than Four is feminine,
you are very close. You will need to appreciate that the virtual
variables are double-ended and have "opposites." Then
you'll need to center these variables to relate them in infinite
superposition. (Quantum Pythagoreans book helps in this area too.)
The
engagement of
Three and Four is just that: It can be
supportive in some contexts and in others it could be conflicting, in
which case rebalancing work is needed. |
|
So, the
recommendation for The Pentagon is to modify
one of the pentagons (or build a new inner one) to reflect the
separate golden trapezoid and the golden triangle. The new
construction slants upward toward a point. It does not need to top
off in a point as long as the edges are converging toward a point
(and you know why). |
|
Three and Four
must remain separate even though they are also joined. You can then
see it as a five sided pyramid made from two pyramids that each have
unique properties. The overall 3D structure has almost all numbers in
it but the point is that the numbers must play together to their best
advantage (rather than just being represented).
Do you see the
number zero? Or is it the infinity? Could it be both? Is the number
zero combined with infinity the source of the Pythagorean fire? The
root of the pyra-mid? The Central fire? The hearth of Zeus?
Archimedes' fulcrum of the heaven and the earth? Just a plain (free)
electron? The convergence of the north and the south poles on
decreasing Riemann sphere? A point of the zero dimensional (0D)
geometric construct? 'The One' of alchemy? Something even smaller
than the infinitesimal of Newton and Leibniz? The dot in the
semicircle on the AUM symbol? A computational construct for all of
the above from "all of the above?" The top dot of
Tetractys? My favorite: The eye Thoth sends to look for Tefnut
when she runs away to Nubia (yes, the eye finds her).
If you think this
pyramid is about marriage, you are on the right track. The Three
[male] and Four [female] are joined through the point of the
infinite. This joining is applicable to the actual marriage where the
joining is through God
all there is. The alchemical marriage would have the female part
becoming more abstract although the four-sided pyramid geometry
continues to be needed for dealing with the infinite. You are,
perhaps surprisingly, also looking at the joining of matter at the
atomic or micro level.
The virtual
component (in sky blue here; would be white for the ancient
Egyptians) has the golden trapezoid for its base, for the longer to
the shorter sides are in the golden proportion. The real component
has one of the golden triangles for its base.
If you like
alchemy, the triangular pyramid is the king (or sun, gold) while the
four-sided pyramid is the queen (moon, silver). Yes, this is the 3
vs. 4.
In the ancient
Egyptian context, the crown of Egypt has two separate components: The
white (upper, virtual) and the red (lower, real). The gap between the
two is the ancient Egyptian blue crown and is invoked at war. (The
gap is white in our pentagonal pyramid.)

There
is one symbol that uses a circle framed by two vertical lines. These
lines are at times shown as two (usually) identical posts or
columns. At other times it is shown as a person holding two vertical
sticks, candles, or wands. This symbolism, however, is not about the
3 vs. 4. Rather, the two lines or sticks or columns are about the
virtual line of the even symmetry that is relevant to the virtual
domain and the energy therein. The upcoming book (summer 2010) will
deal with the construction in the micro domain via the stars, the
rings and the symmetries. |

QUANTUM
PYTHAGOREANS
Book
by Mike Ivsin
Pythagoreans use the knowledge of numbers to arrive at harmonious and
stable systems. Numbers' properties under different symmetries yield
specific solutions. Numbers create the duality while the engagement
of the two components leads to organization.
Quantum
Pythagoreans applies the Tetractys
template and that results in all observable cosmic topologies. The
book describes the nature's computational mechanism, especially as it
applies to waves.
What
it takes to transform energies. Your body is the component and it is
not the only one. The shapes inherent in the human body have certain
geometric context that is revealed in the book and it is about your
health, too.
You
will like and appreciate the simplicity and the power of numbers.
The Pythagorean management of numbers takes you on the road to
reality and invites you to drive it as well.
