Hi Felix,
First with Pat's drawing of the 8 cubicles, 8 appears to be much more natural to me than I ever expected before. I remember having the same kind of surprise (of being puzzled) why the second electron shell (and third) has place for up to 8 electrons.
In my theory, a single pyramid already displays all that is needed, and I regard a double pyramid as a curious visualization that may be intriguing, but not telling the story correctly (even kind of blocking a proper view on everything). However, when considering a pyramid as the basis of an abstract delivery of everything, then of course seeing a pyramid shape, albeit a double header, remains an interesting signal about someone's thinking about abstract structures.
What I find interesting is that the first shell to the last shows a jump from:
2 - 8 - 8 - 16 - 16 - 32 - &...
The first shell strongly points to a dual aspect of the principle in our universe (in my theory, duality plays a very important, but not all-exclusive role), and I would see 8 then as 2 to the third power. What is interesting though is that there is not a 'normal' increase, such a 2 to the first, 2 to the second, 2 to the third power, etc. But we see a
2 to the 1st,
2 to the 3rd,
2 to the 3rd,
2 to the 4th,
2 to the 4th
sequence of electrons per shell.
I found something similar (though different) in my mathematical delivery on number zero and the prime numbers.
It is almost as if indicating that the second and third shells (and the fourth and the fifth shells) are paired spatially/structurally, and should possibly be regarded as dual rows, in which one plays the primary role, and the second shell plays the complimentary role (like DNA sequencing?). What are your thoughts, Felix?
