Measurements & ratios 5
Each length divided by the reference length gives a ratio r. These ratios become frequencies in the next step.
| Measurement | Length | Ratio r |
|---|---|---|
| r(C1) | 0.7071 | 1.0000 |
| |C0C1| | 1.0000 | 1.4142 |
| |C1C2| | 1.4142 | 2.0000 |
| |P3P9| | 1.7321 | 2.4495 |
| |C1C3| | 2.0000 | 2.8284 |
Mathematical details
Central circle of radius R; 4 petal circles of radius R·sin(π/4) centred on it at 90° steps; a square and a downward equilateral triangle inscribed in the central circle.
Symmetry: Dihedral D4 (petals and square); the triangle reduces the whole figure to a mirror symmetry.
Symbolic interpretation
Four-petalled lotus with square and downward triangle, associated with grounding and stability. Experimental chakra-inspired construction defined in this product; traditional chakra iconography varies and this is one reproducible reading of it.
