Measurements & ratios 8
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) | 0.3090 | 1.0000 |
| |C1C2| | 0.6180 | 2.0000 |

Mathematical details
Central circle of radius R; 10 touching petal circles of radius R·sin(π/10) centred on it; a downward equilateral triangle inscribed in the central circle.
Symmetry: Mirror symmetry (petals alone are D10).
Symbolic interpretation
Ten-petalled lotus with a downward triangle, associated with fire and personal will. Experimental chakra-inspired construction defined in this product; traditional chakra iconography varies and this is one reproducible reading of it.
