  2. Sacred geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_geometry

    According to Stephen Skinner, the study of sacred geometry has its roots in the study of nature, and the mathematical principles at work therein. [5] Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry; for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape.

  3. Triskelion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion

    A triskelion or triskeles is an ancient motif consisting either of a triple spiral exhibiting rotational symmetry or of other patterns in triplicate that emanate from a common center. The spiral design can be based on interlocking Archimedean spirals , or represent three bent human limbs.

  4. Sri Yantra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Yantra

    The Sri Yantra in diagrammatic form, showing how its nine interlocking triangles form a total of 43 smaller triangles. In the Shri Vidya school of Hindu tantra, the Sri Yantra ("sacred instrument"), also Sri Chakra is a diagram formed by nine interlocking triangles that surround and radiate out from the central point.

  5. Spiral of Theodorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_of_Theodorus

    The spiral is started with an isosceles right triangle, with each leg having unit length.Another right triangle (which is the only automedian right triangle) is formed, with one leg being the hypotenuse of the prior right triangle (with length the square root of 2) and the other leg having length of 1; the length of the hypotenuse of this second right triangle is the square root of 3.

  6. Overlapping circles grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlapping_circles_grid

    An overlapping circles grid is a geometric pattern of repeating, overlapping circles of an equal radius in two-dimensional space.Commonly, designs are based on circles centered on triangles (with the simple, two circle form named vesica piscis) or on the square lattice pattern of points.

  7. Golden rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle

    In geometry, a golden rectangle is a rectangle with side lengths in golden ratio +:, or ⁠:, ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠ approximately equal to 1.618 or 89/55. Golden rectangles exhibit a special form of self-similarity : if a square is added to the long side, or removed from the short side, the result is a golden rectangle as well.

  9. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    Logarithmic spiral bevel gears are a type of spiral bevel gear whose gear tooth centerline is a logarithmic spiral. A logarithmic spiral has the advantage of providing equal angles between the tooth centerline and the radial lines, which gives the meshing transmission more stability.
