The seven recesses.

One of the Greek thinkers, by the name of Pherecydes, wrote a book which he named ‘seven recesses’. The book did not survive but it was mentioned by other thinkers who lived more or less at the same time as Pherecyces, some 500 BC. At that time truths were communicated using mythology in which the laws of nature were called gods and interactions among the laws were presented as stories of the lives of the gods. From one or two extracts from the book, quoted by the ancients, it appears that Pherecydes was aware of the new trend in the description of the reality where truths were symbolized by objects in the material space time and by dynamism of those objects. Symbols of the reality bore analogy to the scientific facts. For example ‘gravity’ was ‘water’, ‘matter’ was ‘earth’, ‘electromagnetism’ was ‘air’ and ‘kinetic energy’ was ‘fire’. What Pherecydes described in the ‘seven recesses’, was vary likely, the same as that which was known in other cultures. In the steppe, in central Asia, there was the holy mountain of ‘Hara’. Water (gravity) flowed from the top of the mountain, coming out from the inside of the Earth (matter). The water flowed down the mountain along ‘seven regions’ only to come back to the top through the underground passages. In Hinduism the reality is ‘seven limbed’. The three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, all recognize creation of the world in seven days. The ‘seven recesses’ can be presented using mathematical symbols and the Universal unit of measurement which has the symbol of ‘c’.

        oo-1 4   2                  2     4     oo-1

c > c > c > c > 1 > 1/c > 1/c > 1/c > 1/c

The series shown above contains the characteristics of our reality. As the ‘Whole’ of ‘1’ the series symbolizes the perfect medium which consists of the imperfect images of itself. The medium is the duality of inside (1>1/c to power of (oo-1) and outside (c to (oo-1>1), both unlimited. This makes the observer ‘1’, who remains static, free to be located anywhere in the medium without change in the duality or in the limits. The two limits are the identity of the Nothingness (1/c to power of (oo-1) but contradiction of the plurality and magnitude of (c to (oo-1)). Plurality (oo-1) allows for the oberver '1' to be independent. The two external recesses (c to (oo-1) > c ro 4) and (1/c to4>1/c to (oo-1) are the immaterial space time which is accessible for observation by our immaterial senses. Limit c to 4 is the magnitude of our material space and limit 1/c to 4 is the smallest part of that space. The medium is one directional. Each unit outside of the centre ‘1’ rotates differently. The plurality of these units is the space organized into the ‘recesses’. Each unit inside the centre ‘1’ is different and the units are one within another, creating time but not magnitude. The external recesses are reflected inside the centre. The interval (c to 4>1/c to 4) is the material space time in which (c to power of 2) limits electromagnetism, (c) limits velocities in space, (1/c) is the magnitude of atoms, and (1/c to 2) is the magnitude of neutrons. The intervals between the sub-limits contain variations within the recesses. Motivating energy, which originates in the perfect centre (1/c to power of (oo-1)) of Nothingness, travels in one direction creating, for the observer in the centre, temporarily static subunits, until it reaches the static ‘Whole’ of ‘1’ in the centre of observation in which it again becomes Nothingness thus starting a new identical cycle without creating flowing time for the ‘1’. Each unit (c to n), where (0<n<oo), is half static and half dynamic. KK (78.146.49.186 (talk) 14:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC))
