I think I am on a lead ... I've found something similar in a very tecno-complex book on magic squares, but the closest shapes are generated by magic cubes... magic cubes! OH NO! its been really twisting my brain (plus with a headcolb coming on) ... more research needed.
Damn! Its just too hard to work out!
The pattern on the 2 of swords appears to be on a 15 x 15 grid, I drew the grid up and got a very accurate copy of the shape. But there are too many unknown factors to figure out how it was drawn. If it is a magic square of 15 (and you can imagine the fun I had just drawing up the 225 pointgrid) its hard to say which magic square of 15 it is (as there are many). Even if the square could be identified there is no obvious correleation to all the points, which suggests the shape represents a formula or progression of numbers and not every number in the sequence. Perhaps its squares or counting by 5's or 15's?
However, I know from expereince and experimentation that the shape on the 2 is very similar to patterns drawn up on magic squares that link sequential numbers: the long lines suddenly bending, the "jumps" specifically in 'knights moves', the angles turning back on themselves to link up with other shapes, an 'oddness' that in the end becomes a harmony.
I tried some of Ben Franklins magick squares and tried linking the odd numbers only and numbers 5 apart etc, and ended up with shapes like those on the 10 of swords. I've never done this before so have never seen these shapes before, they seem more random and chaotic counting by 5's and 7's.
I still dont think it is projective geometry, but the shapes on 7 swords is a possibility one could say it is a type of projective geometry if the shapes are cubes. Then the 'spikey fins' coming out from the cube could be an extension of the linking diagonals that are 'rubbed out' ( the ones that suggest the cube is in 3d).
I guess the only other alternative is to go thru records of correspondence with AC and FH. Is there a record of this anywhere? I think it was refered to before ... (Aeon goes to his bookshelf, 3rd row down at the left hand side ... "Ah, here they are!")
The only other solution is for me to resort to my channeling skills (in light of recent New Age comments
)
