Measurements & ratios 3
Each length divided by the reference length gives a ratio r. These ratios become frequencies in the next step.
| Measurement | Length | Ratio r |
|---|---|---|
| |C4C5| | 1.0000 | 1.0000 |
| |C1C3| | 1.7321 | 1.7321 |
| |C1C4| | 2.0000 | 2.0000 |
Mathematical details
A central circle of radius R and six circles of radius R centred at 60° intervals on its circumference.
Symmetry: Dihedral D6.
Symbolic interpretation
Beginnings and the days of creation — Six circles arranged around a central one, all of equal size.
Linked in modern esoteric literature to the days of creation.
