I'm working on the outline for the Cathedral III episode of Bitcoin And. This could get a little crazy. I have been working with a couple of concepts that I want to introduce into the way I go about describing Cathedral.
Cathedral's primary geometry (its perimeter) is a square. From a "Sacred Geometry" standpoint the square represents many things all of which made me catch my breath a little when I started researching it.
1. Stability & Structure: Four equal sides and four right angles create a sense of order, permanence, and balance.
2. The Earth Element: Many traditions connect the square to the physical, grounded, material world; soil, stone, and the human-built environment.
3. Containment & Foundation: A square is a boundary; it defines space, frames activity, and creates a platform to build upon.
4. The Four: It naturally invokes the number four: four seasons, four directions, four elements, and four winds.
If Cathedral’s outer frame is a square, but its functions (animal movement, seasonal cycles, harvest patterns) trace out repeating sinusoidal rhythms (and they do) then we're essentially embedding a "circle" inside the square. The sinusoidal pattern emerges through livestock rotation, rotational harvest schedules, and seasonal changes in canopy, pasture, and energy flows. It's literally the 2D graph of a circle’s rotation over time. This means the motion inside Cathedral mirrors the geometry of the circle. As it happens, a circle inside a square is one of the most ancient sacred geometry motifs.
Two other things I'm going to try and embed in Cathedral III are:
1. Hoyle's Resonance in the carbon formation process as it relates to
2. Collapsing the probability Wave Function
In stars, two helium-4 nuclei occasionally fuse to form beryllium-8 (Be). But Be is extremely unstable. Be exists for a mere 10^−16 seconds before decaying back into two helium nuclei. For carbon to form, another helium nucleus must fuse with Be before it decays.
Just as the Hoyle Resonance collapses an improbable intermediate state into carbon, Cathedral collapses potential (geometry, biology, design) into soil, carbon, and fertility.
I'm not sure if I can pull this off but it'll be interesting to find out. Stay tuned.
