Start with nothing. Then there is any thing. This thing is a dot or point, scalable to a circle and then sphere. This any thing, now a sphere, at minimum is a four point polyhedron. This polyhedron, if made of minimal variation or perfect symmetry, is a tetrahedron.
A tetrahedron is comprised of four points (vertexes), six edges, and four faces. It is the simplest of the 5 Platonic Solids. Its classical element is fire. It can be written as {3,3} which is to say that its faces have 3 edges and that at each vertex 3 faces meet. (A cube is written as {4,3}) The single point has grown to contain four points. Each of those four can be investigated to contain their own four ad infinitum. Any thing may be creatively investigated and found to contain microcosms within.
These microcosms are a mental construct mixing some attributes that are known and some that are meaningful. Once they are minimally conceptualized it obtains psychological mass through an untaught and unconscious process felt rather than known. The greater its mass, the deeper its microcosmic rabbit hole. Ideas that reach farther back into our collective memories hold greater mass. Fear, sex, and family are powerful ideas that contain within them great nebulous things such as desire, faith, and power.
