Geometria Arcana, part 1

As Plato tells us, the world around us is but a distorted reflection of another, subtler realm – the realm of pure ideas. Though we may glimpse it in dreams or mystic visions, we cannot describe it, for our language is too imperfect a tool. Geometry, however, escapes the limitations of words. Shapes are form distilled to its purest and simplest – and therein dwells unfathomable power. As they say, though, the devil is in the details. The shapes need to be combined just so, and with perfect precision, too.
