The Geometric Links Between Russian Pyramids & The Platonic Solids - Part 2

In this video I (re)discover for perhaps the first time in contemporary times, a dynamic model linking the 'process' of the progression of the Platonic Forms with the 'pathway' of the Torus/Russian Pyramid/Phi Scaling Angle geometry. The model is based upon an ancient diagram of the Platonic Forms presented in Robert Lawlor's "Sacred Geometry - Philosophy & Practice". Although presented in two dimensions, the diagram, when plotted in 3 dimensions, presents a simple and elegant nine step dynamic model of the progression of the Platonic Forms, which fits perfectly within the Torus/Russian Pyramid/Phi Scaling Angle Geometry, and further provides for a Phi-based 12 Tone Equal Temperament scaling function. This (re)discovery is quite similar in many respects to the discovery of all the Platonic Forms within the two dimensional Metatron's Cube. This dynamic model is compared with the corresponding set of spheres arising from a more traditional nesting , and demonstrates that traditionally-nested spheres alone cannot be used as the basis for building a dynamic model of progression. Finally, a step-by-step progression is developed using all nine of the concentric circles/spheres found in Lawlor's diagram to produce a nine step repeating octave progression which conforms to the general principles developed by Buckminster Fuller.
