Matter is a standing wave, it acts through an ether permeated with electromagnetism. Cymatics reveals the truth, like Archimedean crystals and snowflakes, frozen in time. The omphalos coils of snakes represent electromagnetism. The pagan gods are born into it, remaining in it after they 'hatch' and use it travel (Hermes, etc). I take a Christian stance on this though, in that things created as a fingerprint of sorts (Phi, Tao, torus knots, etc) are corrupted with symbology, and the image and man's understanding of it is now worshipped, rather than the creator.
