Fredrick and his friend sat on the beach at the Western shore of Oahu, where the road ended and turned to dirt before going off into the ocean due to the rock protrusions.
A familiar form beyond them sat in the sand and stared out to sea into the twilight and so they ventured near.
“Good evening, young Master Fredrick,” said the grand old man, without turning around.
“Hail to you, Grandmaster West,” what brings you here?
“Well, I am here because of you and you because of me.”
“How so?”
“Well, here is a paper on which I’ve written what I was going to say next. Tell me then, what it says before you open it.”
Fredrick knew. “It will say, as you would’ve have said, ‘Fredrick, as you know I’ve been busy lately with the atomic crisis, but that’s settled now and so I’ve taken some time off myself, but I haven’t forgotten you. I’ve read your complete and very detailed report, and would to it the fact that you went alone to spare any harm to others and also, most significantly, because you knew yourself to be invincible in this mission, for you had seen yourself alive in the premonition of the future that had you testing your new formulas at the TOE center.’”
“Amazing,” replied the Grand One, “look to the paper now.”
“It is nearly word for word,” said Fredrick, much amazed himself.
“Will the tests have a positive result—did you see that?”
“Yes, indeed they will.”
“There is much more between Heaven and Earth than meets the eye.”
Austin, did I ever tell you about the time I asked the Grandmaster West to tell me in return what I had written on my piece of paper?
The grand old man replied: "I do not know what you wrote on that piece of paper."
I then crumbled the paper, put it in my mouth, chewed on it, and swallowed it. The next thing out of my mouth was: "And you never will."
We both had a good laugh about it.
P.S. Except for not seeing the moon in your image, I like it a lot.
The difference between a structure based on unification and a structure without unification hinges on the question if nothing is just plain nothing or if nothing is mighty fundamental. Read In Search of a Cyclops with titillating mathematical evidence (see homepage) to find out if separation belongs to the fundamental basics of our universe - or not.
(As for that paper you crumpled and swallowed a few post back, It came out. I agree that "in and out" is as important, if not more, than left-right, etc)

In'NOut should not be left to the side, right?
Thanks for getting me a cameo. I enjoyed it in the present!

I guess I need to warm up this thread a little bit, and while I would really like to ask how to improve the standing of the pyramid theory in the world of science today, I am rather going to ask if anyone can come up with more examples describing the pyramid.
Examples I provided are:
wind direction (north, south, east & west)
answer (yes, no, maybe so & maybe not)
family (father, mother, daughter & son)
This is a correct delivery, but it may be harder to understand why only the daughter and son get the "&" and not the parents. Yet the parents are family by choice, while the kids are family to their parents and each other by birth.
human being (male, female, young & old)
Can you add to this list? Especially examples based on scientific data are much appreciated.
Hint: look for oppositional pairs, and discover if that's all there is to them. For instance: black and white are oppositional. A third position would be gray, but a fourth position would also be gray. Number three and number four need to deliver a change of some kind without the change being absolutely oppositional (young & old are opposites, but not in an absolute sense like male and female). Black and white belong to a pyramid that is basically a reduction of our color reality; in other words, a conceptual representation that leaves out other important information. In the pyramid of color, black and white (and gray) are covered; white in top, gray on the inside, black at the inside at the bottom.

Hi Pat,
I am much obliged for these deliveries.
However, one more step is required before I find a pyramidal display.
ancient matters (fire, water, air & earth)
As you can tell, I am bumping into some problems here, in that I can also create (fire, earth, water & air), (fire, air, water & earth), (water, earth, fire & air), (water, air, fire & earth), (air, earth, water & fire). While I can find the oppositional pair and then see the two remaining as gradual changing from one to the other), I can actually find oppositional pairs in all of them (for some I need a touch more fantasy). I'd call this therefore a very special pyramid.
Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. I have a much harder time with this one. I would say plasma is like white in the color pyramid (i.e. the top of the pyramid), so it is not one of the four, but a very special delivery of circumstances. Or can you make it a pyramidal display (two oppositions, two in an order of change)?
Question: does all matter (except organic matter) have a plasma state? if so, I can see it as white, if not, I would place it inside the color pyramid as gray.
As far as the horses and their powers are concerned, they are mythological figures that need to be understood within their delivery. I appreciate this delivery much, Pat, but it falls outside a pyramidal display. And are you sure this is ancient Greek stuff and not a brothers-grimm-production?

SEXUAL ORIENTATION PYRAMID
(from embryo masculinization of Body and Brain)
(all embryos begin as female—if it’s to be a male
it needs to be masculinized in both body and brain,
but sometimes only one or the other happens.)
MaleBrain, MaleBody, FemaleBrain, FemaleBody
MaleBrain-MaleBody = hetero male
MaleBody-FemaleBrain = gay male
FemaleBrain-FemaleBody = hetero female
FemaleBody-MaleBrain = lesbian female
I forgot the 4 dimensions; Line. Square, Cube, and Hypercube.
A little research yielded this:
4 is the smallest number of colors sufficient to color all planar maps. 4 is the maximal number of regions into which space can be divided by 2Spheres.
The Tetrahedron is a Platonic Solid with 4 Vertices and 4 Faces.
The Chemical Element Beryllium has an atomic number of 4.
The 4 Elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth.
In Humans: the four petals of the Base Chakra.
The 4 directions: north, east, south and west.
The four worlds of the kabbalah: Atziluth, the world of the emanation; Briah, the world of the creation; Yetzirah, the world of the formation and Asiah, the world of the action.
The 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton-the name of God.
The 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism.

The four cardinal Virtues: 1. Non-violence, 2. Truth, 3.Purity, 4.Self-control

The Group of Fours 1. The Four Noble Truths 1. Suffering 2. The Cause of Suffering 3. The Cessation of Suffering 4. The Way Leading to the Cessation of Suffering
2. The Four Mental Principles 1. Wisdom (Panna) 2. Truthfulness (Sacca) 3. Abandonment of evil and selfishness (Caga) 4. Appeasement (Upasama)
3. The Four Bases of Success 1. Appreciation (Chanda) 2. Effort (Viriya) 3. Attention (Citta) 4. Investigation (Vimamsa)
4. The Four Divine States of Mind 1. Loving-kindness (Metta) 2. Compassion (Karuna) 3. Sympathetic joy over others' achievement (Mudita) 4. Equanimity (Upekkha)
5. The FourVirtues Conducive to Social Welfare 1. Generosity (Dana) 2. Kind Speech (Piyavaca) 3. Benevolence (Atthacaritya) 4. Adaptability (Samanattata)
6. The Fourfold Right Effort: 1. Effort to restrain from evil 2. Effort to abandon evil 3. Effort to develop good 4. Effort to maintain good 4Virtues According to Plato:
Wisdom, courage, self-control, and justice.
In Christianity there are four cardinal Virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. The Sioux value these 4Virtues: bravery, fortitude, generosity and wisdom
