   We have all of these hexagons and yet there is no platonic solid that is formed with a hexagon. So what gives? Well, I want to introduce the vector equilibrium which was coined by Buckminister Fuller. It is actually formed from three two-dimensional hexagons that swivel around each other. And its basic shapes that make it up are an equilateral triangle and the square. These are the two smallest shapes that you can make with straight lines. And together they balance at each other's corners to create the perfect shape. Why is it the perfect shape? The reason is that every single line which is co…

   - **Fringe source**: Animated overviews of Platonic solids, flower of life, fibonacci, golden ratio - **Canonical bridge**: - Plato *Timaeus* (Platonic solids = elements) - Euclid *Elements* Book XIII (regular polyhedra) - Kepler *Mysterium Cosmographicum* (planetary orbits in nested polyhedra) - Penrose tilings, quasicrystals - **Status**: The math is canon. The metaphysical claims about geometry's *meaning* are interpretive. Bridges to 01-mathematics + 03-chemistry (quasicrystal structure).

   The root problem involves a collision between the discrete and the continuous. There are some things we want to see as absolutely smooth, gapless, and whole, call them continua ; however, certain modes of thinking about continua force us to rely on discrete entities to measure or analyze them. A modern example might be the geometric line and any set of numbers we lay against it; it is not easy to relate a set of discrete objects such as the real numbers to the absolutely smooth line of geometry in a way that is practically and conceptually satisfying. The medieval debate reflects a similar col…

   If we remove these and add the final missing circles, you get this, the fruit of life. It is said that this pattern of 13 circles is one of the holiest, most sacred forms in existence. It's called the fruit because it is the result, the fruit from which the details of the fabric of reality were created. Remember in our previous video about masculine and feminine energy and how we discussed masculine energy moves in straight lines and feminine energy moves in curves. Well, this image so far is all curves, baby. But when you combine straight lines with these curves, you get a very complex image …

   Several passages in Descartes’ analysis of motion seem to support this strong variety of relationism: “we cannot conceive of the body AB being transported from the vicinity of the body CD without also understanding that the body CD is transported from the vicinity of the body AB ” (Pr II 29). Hence, “all the real and positive properties which are in moving bodies, and by virtue of which we say they move, are also found in those [bodies] contiguous to them, even though we consider the second group to be at rest” (Pr II 30). This form of relational motion has been dubbed the “reciprocity of tran…

   It's called the fruit because it is the result, the fruit from which the fabric of the details of the reality were created. Remember when we talked about male and female energy, lesson 4? As you can see, this image is female. It has no straight lines. However, when you combine male lines with these female circles, something amazing happens. What you do is draw a straight line from the very center of every single circle to every other circle in this image. When you do this, you get an image which is known throughout the universe everywhere as Medatron's cube. It is one of the most important inf…

   See the above-mentioned entry on Newton’s view of space, time, and motion as well as the entries on Leibniz’s philosophy of physics , classical theories of absolute and relational space and motion , post-Newtonian theories of absolute and relational space and motion , and the hole argument. 3. The Topology of Time It’s natural to think that time can be represented by a line. But a line has a shape. What shape should we give to the line that represents time? This is a question about the topology, or structure, of time. One natural way to answer our question is to say that time should be represe…

   There are conflicting reports on whether atoms move in a particular direction as a result of their weight: a number of scholars have tried to reconcile these by supposing that weight is not intrinsic to the atoms, but is a result of the centripetal tendencies set up in the cosmic whirl (cf. O’Brien 1981; Furley 1989, pp. 91–102). Atoms may have an inherent tendency to a kind of vibratory motion, although the evidence for this is uncertain (McDiarmid 1958). However, their primary movement seems to result from collision with other atoms, wherein their mutual resistance or antitupia causes them t…

   It seems that Democritus did not distinguish clearly between the physical uncuttability of atoms and their conceptual indivisibility: this raises a problem about how atoms can have parts, as evidenced by their variations in shape or their ability to compose a magnitude, touching one another in a series on different sides. Epicurus distinguished the two, holding that uncuttable atoms did have conceptually distinct parts, but that there was a lowest limit to these. Different solutions to this problem are found in ancient Indian atomism. Epicurus’ view of the motion of atoms also differs from Dem…

    Although this circularity threatens the entire edifice of Cartesian physics, it is possible that Descartes intended both motion and body to possess an equal ontological importance in his theory, such that neither is the more fundamental notion (which serves as the basis for constructing or defining the other notion). Yet, their intrinsic interrelationship entails that any attempted definition of one must inevitably incorporate the other. The problem with this reconstruction of Descartes’ reasoning, however, is that Descartes explicitly deems motion to be a “mode” of extension; where a mode is …
