The Cultural & Cognitive
‘Animated Geometry’
we need to understand how ‘Human-&-Nature’ works
Spiral and Cone
in traditions and modern culture
including in particle physics (Left-Right spin) & cosmology (cones and explosions)
.
The 3D imaging represents
still-pictures (patterns):
or
animation (movement,
motion, action, change):
These images are very common in archaic culture,
and are mostly unconscious in the modern mind.
Conventionalised cultures translate these into patterns of activity, patterns & change (e.g. computing algorithms), active patterning (e.g. normalising), anthropomorphic or animist active patterns perceived in the mind…
They have left many traces in the daily life language people use
Cones
Mountain, pyramid, tower to reach the Sky (Heaven, Paradise…), …
Totem pole
(and interpretations: ‘super-human’, ‘phallic’… bright)
Falling into the abyss, dark hole…
(and interpretations: ‘under-world’, ‘Fallen’ man, ‘sub-human’,
‘sub-achiever’…, dark)
Spiral
has many faces
Play the animation (40sec)
Archaic Animated Geometry:
Movement (‘life’) & Direction (growth & ageing)
(2,3) combinatorics can reduce what is apprehended directly to Re-Present it on the visual 2D ‘screen of the mind’,
and as perspectives (geometric projections) up to the Normal world of humans (timed ‘FlatLand’)
INNER: Primus Movens & Axis Mundi in philosophy of mathematics, of mysticism, neolithic/archaic anthropology,
and the few ‘gauging thinkers’ who sought the ‘Geometry of Mind’.
OUTER: See visual-spatial perception & intelligence research, cognitive psychology, archaeology of Geometric Cognition

Storms
&
‘Wind illness’:
Both planet & humans
Prehistoric tokens and marks
AnthropoMorph & PhysikeMorph shapes (Human: hand & Naturalistic: plant growth)
SpiroMorph shapes (spiral: wind, tendrils), Animated to Geometry projections (e.g. Y bifurcation)
and more complex images
Spreading and spreading… eventually spiraling out of hand …until bubbles burst
(reaching boundary, ‘pass’ through it, spreading again: curve inversion)
Bouncing back & climbing ‘up the mountain/ ladder’ only to reach & breach limits
To Form Bubble
Resonance, many love it
concave on both side, started anywhere, effecting everywhere, local & global (non-local) in endless cycles
Getting stuck at the surface (Trap)
Vibrating, threatening destruction, no more ‘depth’ of mind
convex on both side of the surface, everywhere & anywhere, locally & globally (non-local), endlessly
Homo Sapiens exPERIence & ‘Human’ Sur-vival at daily life scale
The ‘dynamic balance’ works ‘For A Time’, between child adrenarche/puberty and meno-/andro-pause (15 to 45-50yo for a female = 30-35 years out of 70-90 years). In children, it is unstable equilibrium ‘to grow out of’(stabilise Physical & establish in crowded Human society.)
How long before Homo Sapiens stops fighting & compensating, inside & outside its ‘own nature’ judged weak or strong through biased perspective? How long before the “We” in various states begins to use the Rubber Sheet Geometry of wild-biology co-regulation? Question the health and lives of D. Attenborough & R. Penrose: why do they look good and are still functioning well past 90 years old? Societal inclusion & practical enablement, but also health grounded… in nature for its co-regulating effect on brain-mind-Central-Control.
(‘pass’ through surface-boundary: curve inversion) and fall back again
… until nothing left
Up- Ex- (Staff, directional axis)
Mountain simplified to Staff and Up, sky scraper, up to the stars, climb to the top, “the sky is the limit”
… eventually spiraling out of hand until Bubble Burst
Falling down in to the Dark hole, Abyss, the Fall
…eventually bouncing back-up from the bottom (resilience) and on: down & up… until nothing left
The CONE of Up Extension & fall-apart:
Pattern/ Structure interpretations of
the Operational/ Functional Spiral
The forgotten 1D Geometry is presupposed and a built-in axiom of mathematised hyperbolic topologies.
Motion & Di-rection:
2 or 3 dots and arrow
(2,3) combinatorics can reduce what is apprehended directly to Re-Present it
in humans (righteous & dexterous Up, sinister Down states, spiraling greed) and their world (economic or war expansion): they are built-in the re-representations that govern actions and decisions,
but this is not ‘all that is’, all that we can be ‘aware’ of. What we Re-Present is not all that ‘presents’ to awareness.
ABSTRACTED: MOTION & DIRECTION AXIS in mathematical physics and medicine/psychology
The combination of Spiral & Cone describes ‘Directional Activation’ [it is topologically ‘oriented’]
But this is not ‘all’ that we can do.
The directional activation of Survival mechanisms in the upright 🡱 naked Homo Sapiens includes Brain-Mind-Central Control of body. The head-body split becomes ‘Human’ (targeting goals, pushing to limits, orienting to expand) and “We’re Not-Animals” separate from ‘Nature’.
If repeated, or re-developed, this leads to Acceleration. The ‘exponential’ property is build-in in the system of existence and of representation of ‘The World’.
This ‘System’ is auto-reinforcing:
The Rubber Sheet Geometry
to figure how
to ‘resorb’ global & local problems
of Homo Sapiens on planet earth before they pass all limit.
The Cultural & Cognitive ‘Animated Geometry’
of gesture & mathematical physics insight
is
The gauging ‘Rubber Sheet Geometry’
without measurements or numbers
A non-algorithmic topology of very small distortion
and of generic gauging of the ‘Shaping’
in the global-local topography of ‘The World’, without getting lost in details & complications of
numbers, names, flat images, imagistic symbols/icons, stories, data, computed complex shapes,
specific general inFormation, particulars universals…
Zoom out to see that
the Spiral images Boundary Behaviour

Zoom out
Passing Limits ‘going too far’, breaking boundaries physical and human
Near, At, or Past Boundary
Approaching Limits
At Limit
‘Directional Activation’
[it is topologically ‘oriented’]
is auto-reinforcing
But this is not ‘all’ that we can do.
The directional activation of SURvival mechanisms in the UPright 🡱 naked Homo Sapiens seen as Human-and not-animal separate from ‘Nature’ has become an auto-reinforcing State, and way of ‘life’, repeated, re-developed, and Accelerated by the loss of basic biological integrity.
Its ‘exponential’ property is build-in in this system of existence and of representation of ‘The World’ (not planet).
This ‘System’ is auto-reinforcing:
Boundary Behaviour, spiraling out of hand
Can it be avoided?
The Rubber Sheet Geometry
allows to figure how to
Un-Wind the Spiral (or ‘reduce’ the Cone)
to not reach or breach limits
Un-Winding the Spiral
is not a matter of ‘wind-down’ after ‘wind-up’ or the reverse.
Words are tricky! So are 2D drawings.
It is undoing altogether the spiraling-out-of-hand
to stay away from Boundary Behaviour
and unstable equilibrium: UN-Winding
Play the animation (1mn13)
Away from Boundary:
Out of the Spiral altogether
UN-WOUND
Un-Deployed
This is a
Wave that does not ‘tear the fabric’,
does not crash or flare up,
does not periodically spiral out of hand:
It is not patterned, not forming patterns,
not ‘in-Formation’.
Ground or Foundation:
maintain its integrity (not tear it apart)
“Do what CAN be done without delay locally”
It can be taken care of Here-Now BEFORE urgency and emergency,
which it prevents by reducing all Pressure that induce Deployment (both Up Down).
This state does NOT exist through the strategy of ‘Wind-Down’ & ‘Wind-up’,
not through a ‘Return’ after a ‘Go’.
It is a complete Un-Winding of the entire spiral mode, gets ‘out of the spiraling’ altogether.
It is ‘non-existent’ in Re-Presentations (numbers, words)
but Rubber Sheet Geometry can figure what it ‘looks like’ (how it presents)
