4⋮7 Change
Change: ăou-chăz /aʊ̯.t͡ʃaz/
Manifestation may stop at Form to make a complete but static world. The universe of number is a perfect example of static manifestation. Alternately manifestation may remain in flux, in constance state of manifesting and collapsing back into Void. This flux of being is the essence of Change and gives rise to the experience of time.
With Change, manifestation takes on a destructive aspect as forms that come to be now also cease to be.
We move up a level in our analysis to describe types of change and change itself becomes a new type of form.
The mathematically inclined may find it useful to meditate on the relationship of a mathematical function and its derivative.
We may also think of the constant within Change as Will.
Both are implied in the sphere of .
This tree is formed by branching of Change () from Form (
)
along path 7 (
).
Path 6 (
) splits from path 3 (
).
Path 4 (
) remains connected to Form ()
while path 5 (
) follows the new sphere of Change ()
We chose to present the tree in this diagram as a pentagram to show its relationship to the traditional elemental pentagram.
We may take Chaos (
) as spirit,
Process (
) as water,
Pattern (
) as air,
Form () as earth,
and Change () as fire to discover a new formulation for a traditional symbol.
More will be said on this later.
Note that this is the first tree where not every sphere has a connection to every other sphere.
This follows a rule constraining the number of paths.
At each emanation the number of the final paths may not exceed the prime number of the final sphere of the tree.
In this case the prime of Change () is 7 ()
and so no more paths emerge.
