    This image above I have discussed before on this website. It is also in the legend on the right hand side of this web page.

  • Nature is the Architect

    …..and we are it’s builders? So beyond indeed, is the static realization of the structure of things. This is a more definable recognition of something that is very fluid and expressive. It is by our own humanistic natures that we like to compartmentalize? “There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of…

  • Melancholia Magic Square

    The most famous 4 x 4 magic square is the so-called Melancholia magic square. In 1514, Albrecht Dürer used the square in his engraving Melancholie which depicts the indecision of the intellectual. The two numbers, 15 and 14, in the centre of the bottom row date the engraving.

  • Hermetic Ties: Art to Esoteric Form

    The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into Earth.

  • Images or Numbers By Themself

I have an idea in mind here that will be slow…

  • Symmetries Can be Chaotically Complex

    Imagine in an “action of a kind” you start off from one place. A photon travelling through a slit of Thomas Young’s, to get through “a world” to the other side. Sounds like some fairy tale doesn’t it? Yet, “the backdrop” is where you started? Thomas Young (June 14, 1773 – †May 10,1829) was an…

  • Undercut Philosophical basis , "What have you?"

    In “Beyond the dance of the sun” I show what we take for granted from a “observational standpoint,” and try to increase perception, based on the quantum views. Is mathematics Invented or Discovered? “Philosophy In The Flesh” LAKOFF: When you start to study the brain and body scientifically, you inevitably wind up using metaphors. Metaphors…

  • Basis of Reality by Geometric Design?

    I would like to continually like to remind one of Plato’s cave. If the sun is behind us, how do you relate what is seen dimensionally, and describe it from first principles? The shadows are used in a way to draw our attention to our limitations of thinking. So I moved this internally, and the…

  • Strange Abstract Movements

    When one is engaged in the strange world of the abstract, Quark to Quark measures left me in a strange state. Lines having been given values in distance. That were not readily available to the eye. These lines are happening in spaces, that give “energy values” to that every distance? Gausssian coordinates. The metric. The…
