The ancient greek geometers have had a crucial influence on our understanding of space and time, most of all Euklid with his dogmatic axioms of cubic space. But not all of ancient greece was subscribed to that abstract model. Pythagoras and his jolly bunch of friends were not, I believe. They used a rather synergetic model to explain a great variety of cosmic truth, including music and philosophy, all based on ten humble pebbles, known as the Tetraktys. In this video I take a look at that model but do so from an operational, synergetic perspective, not the conventional one that is biased to frame this whole explanation firmly embedded in our abstract ideas of static space.
