The I Ching Binary System And Natural Phenomena by Stanley Tomshinsky

Playing With Blocks

3x3 square-matrixes brought me to 3x3 & 3x3x3 cube-matrixes and their eventual progression capacities for constructing hexagrams and whatever.

Eight trigrams could infer the eight edges of a cube. Following the same logic used for the interaction of trigrams on the wheel, I made clockwise and counter-clockwise numbered cubes.





There are various ways of interpreting 3x3 and 3x3x3 progressive cube-matrixes. It concerns the interactions between these cubes. Here a cube is a theoretical term to denote a mass with eight points of contact. A cube could interact with another cube four points at a time or two points at a time or one point at a time. The movement is spherical in clockwise or counter-clockwise directions. These bodies interact to generate ......



Cube Matrixes


In this system there are two types of packets. One packet contains a clockwise moving cube in the center and two flanking counter- clockwise moving cubes. In the other packet, the order is reversed.





The following 3x3 matrix is built with these packets. The 3-cube packets move up a packet at a time, in any previously chosen order.





In the 3x3x3 matrix, three 3-cube packets move up layer by layer, in any previously chosen order.





It is time for a pause. I hope you found these pages interesting. On the Index page you will find other other types of symmetry and asymmetry projects.
