Measurements & ratios 9
Each length divided by the reference length gives a ratio r. These ratios become frequencies in the next step.
| Measurement | Length | Ratio r |
|---|---|---|
| |C0C8| | 0.2500 | 1.0000 |
| r(C1) | 0.5000 | 2.0000 |
| |C1C8| | 0.7500 | 3.0000 |
| |C2C8| | 0.9014 | 3.6056 |
| |C4C5| | 1.0000 | 4.0000 |
| |C3C8| | 1.1456 | 4.5826 |
| |C4C8| | 1.2500 | 5.0000 |
| |C1C3| | 1.7321 | 6.9282 |

Mathematical details
Central circle of radius R; 6 touching petal circles of radius R/2 centred on it; a crescent formed by an inner circle of radius R/2 at the centre and a circle of radius R/2 centred at (0, R/4).
Symmetry: Mirror symmetry about the vertical axis (petals alone are D6).
Symbolic interpretation
Six-petalled lotus with a crescent moon, associated with water and creativity. Experimental chakra-inspired construction defined in this product; traditional chakra iconography varies and this is one reproducible reading of it.
