Use of Ad-Quadratum at Angkor Wat

Ad Quadratum is a convenient and profound technique in which continuous scaling of size can be given to square shapes, either from a centre or periphery. The differences in scale are multiples of the square root
of two [sqrt(2)] between two types of square: cardinal (flat) and diamond (pointed).

The diagonal of a square of unit size is sqrt(2), When a square is nested to just touch a larger square’s opposite sides, one can know the squares differ by sqrt(2)

When a square’s diagonal touches opposite sides sides of a larger square, the two squares differ by sqrt(2) and a square becomes a diamond or visa versa. By repeating this effect a continuum can be generated to form the large patterns found in sacred buildings such as the Vedic Angkor Wat, Christian Gothic cathedrals, Islamic Dome of the Rock and even Stonehenge. The technique is therefore very ancient yet still used. Subjectively such buildings express a high degree of visual order by employing what is called a geometrical progression. Objectively, such patterns appear to convey cosmic principles known to ancient builders but largely forgotten recently.

Harmonic Genesis of the Sumerians

Here I start by publishing an important diagram that shows how the earliest known references to musical tuning (early 4th millennium BC) on clay cuneiform tablets, using “regular numbers” whose factors are products of only the numbers 2, 3 and 5, led to the cosmological vision of their gods, the primary god, Anu, being a balanced mix of all three numbers as 60 but also called ONE. This is the source of their Sexagesimal  or base-60, still employed in measuring angles and time called minutes and seconds. All comes from ONE.

The emergence of 2, 3, 5 from ONE then combining as ANU and leading to the differentiation of the World along various paths. The creation proceeds through three prime number dimensions, Ea (as in Earth) through 2, Enki through 3 , Enlil through 5. Anu remains the fountainhead associated with all three and with the Zodiac, which emerged in later Babylonian as a seasonally relevant calendar.
