Cycles, Loops, Feedback and Recursion
With respect to things that repeat, there is the symbolism of infinity. This is also symbolized in the circle and the orobouros. They also symbolize cycles, loops, feedbacks and recursion. Causality, which is part of natural law, also symbolizes this.
In cycles, loops, feedbacks and recursion, there is an output that feeds back as an input to be processed and produce another output and back as an input, etc. In programming, this recursion and loop takes a basic for of i = i + 1. You start with i = 0. i + 1 then equals 1. The next iteration of the loop then produces 2, then 3, and so on. It’s a reciprocal system.
The generator (a cause, i + 1) generates what is generated (the effect, i). A causal force generates an effect. The effect potentially affects other things. That affect acts as a causal force by being an input stimulus for other things. Those things then act as causes to generate effects which affect more things. And on and on. This is the natural law of causality. From a cause -> effect -> affect -> cause, on and on. The feedback loop, recursion and cycle continue, from the present towards the future, as the present becomes the past.
Units of time are loops. If you start from a second, it repeats and increases to produce a minute, to produce an hour, day, week, month, year, etc. The symbol of infinity is about time, a loop that never ends and represents unending time. Units are numbers. Numbers can be seen as being at the base of reality. Measurement uses numbers for precision. Going in the direction of whole numbers can increase the general size. Going into the decimal numbers can increase the precision to infinite precision and infinite information. This is seen in the ratio constants of pi (ratio of a circles to its diameter) and phi (the Golden Ratio, Fibonacci sequence).
Causality will be discussed more later. This is just to tie into the current topic of repetition, recognizing patterns and the chain of events from past to present and future prediction.
Ratio and Proportions
The most basic ratio and proportion is 1:1, the Prime Ratio. 1:1 is 1/1 which is 1 itself. This ratio represents dual parts in reciprocal action making up a whole as a system of functionality, such as cause and effect.
Ratios and proportions are patterns formed between things. If we process our perceptions in parallel to reality/existence, then we can create with our arms -- our artifices -- artificial things into existence that didn’t exist before. Look at the reality we have constructed and created as a result of this capacity. The various constructs are based in ratios and proportions; be they compounds or chemicals. At a basic level, these things are in harmony with the ratios, proportions and patterns.
Processing and outputting into reality with the correct ratios and proportions is to create in harmony with the existing patterns, structures and physical laws of existence. Perceiving in parallel with reality means we are in alignment with that base level of reality to be able to do things in reality. However, this doesn’t mean what we create or how we use what we create is in harmony with moral law. Are we manifesting what should be in accordance, alignment or harmony with Truth level 2 (moral truth, better ways and paths for living)?
