Detailed structures of matter and consciousness.

Above: the 22 golden circles stand for the 22 letters of the Hebrew alpahabet. The subdivision into 2 x 4 vertical rhombus shaped cuboids quotes the "fourness" that carries the earth, the world, matter as its destiny; these cuboids are surrounded by double spirals (genetic code).

The circles of the lowewr segments actualize themselves as ellipsoid, turning and projecting themselves, mutating their colors, all corresponding to the properties of subatomic quantum fields, e.g., of chromo-dynamics.

The central "fourness" continues the outer structure, yet once again condensing and transforming itself decisivel.What was horizontal now becomes diagonal, lines turn into waves, colors into white—and all that at a higher clip. This results in the "threefoldness" of the center as well as the touching circles which assume the forms of hearts and flames.

The elemental triad and fourness of the paramount 12 white circles is continued in the 13th circles further inside, the recurring "one" of the subsequent layer. (The numerical value of the Hebrew word for "one"-echad- is 13.
