Pythagorean 3-4-5 Triangle is a good symbol to conceptualize the Trivium, Quadrivium

The Trivium is a systematic method of critical thinking

The Trivium: The three arts of language pertaining to the mind

Grammar art of inventing and combining words

Logic art of thinking

Rhetoric art of communication

The Quadrivium: The four arts of quantity pertaining to matter

Continuous quantity

Geometry theory of space

Astronomy application of the theory of space

Discrete quantity of number

Arithmetic theory of number

Music application of theory of number

The Pythagoreans considered all mathematical science to be divided into four parts: one half they marked off as concerned with quantity, the other half with magnitude; and each of these they posited as twofold. A quantity can be considered in regard to its character by itself or in its relation to another quantity, magnitudes as either stationary or in motion. Arithmetic, then, studies quantities as such, music the relations between quantities, geometry magnitude at rest, spherics [astronomy] magnitude inherently moving

What does /lit/ know of the 5 Platonic Solids ?

>>8215186

The Platonic solids have been known since antiquity

The ancient Greeks studied the Platonic solids extensively

The Platonic solids are prominent in the philosophy of Plato, their namesake


he associated each of the four classical elements (earth, air, water, and fire) with a regular solid. Earth was associated with the cube, air with the octahedron, water with the icosahedron, and fire with the tetrahedron. There was intuitive justification for these associations: the heat of fire feels sharp and stabbing (like little tetrahedra). Air is made of the octahedron; its minuscule components are so smooth that one can barely feel it. Water, the icosahedron, flows out of one's hand when picked up, as if it is made of tiny little balls. By contrast, a highly nonspherical solid, the hexahedron (cube) represents "earth". These clumsy little solids cause dirt to crumble and break when picked up in stark difference to the smooth flow of water.

Moreover, the cube's being the only regular solid that tessellates Euclidean space was believed to cause the solidity of the Earth. Of the fifth Platonic solid, the dodecahedron, Plato obscurely remarks

Free association theory of creativity

Creativity can be seen as an ability to retrieve and connect disparate concepts

Psychologists have proposed that individual differences in creativity are due to differences in whether associative networks were 'steep' or 'flat'- those with 'flat' networks have numerous and loose conceptual connections, enabling them to be more creative. Those with 'steep' networks tend to have more logical, linear associations between nodes. Someone with a flat network quickly and creatively hops – node to node – something someone ‘linear’ in their thinking would struggle with

...found among people with personality traits such as nonconformity, curiosity, willingness to take risks, and persistence...

A series of related studies suggested a link between positive mood and the promotion of cognitive flexibility

...A study by Murray, Sujan, Hirt and Sujan, this hypothesis was examined more closely and “found positive mood participants were able to see relations between concepts”, as well as demonstrating advanced abilities “in distinguishing the differences between concepts”. This group of researchers drew a parallel between “their findings and creative problem solving by arguing that participants in a positive mood are better able both to differentiate between and to integrate unusual and diverse information”

Key 17 The Star. Fishhook, keyword for the Star, suggests the drawing of ideas from the universal subconscious. The hook relates to the subject selected for research or meditation. Revelation comes through meditation. You must still the conscious mind but keep a line on the subject chosen for meditation.

Aquarius rules this key, which brings the age of revelation. The Star key explains the fifth or celestial essence, which is above and beyond the four elements of fire, earth, air and water. The great star has eight points representing rotation. The seven lesser stars refer to the seven bodily centers which are really whorls of motion and vibration. The ibis is a fishing bird, again emphasizing searching and probing.

The woman represents the subconscious mind which shows that all secrets are available if you fish in a proper manner. Her left leg, holding her weight, forms a right angle or square, hinting at the number 4, order and reason. Resting on the water, her right foot shows that the mind sustains her.

She pours water, her mental powers, on land and sea, indicating the pouring of knowledge over humanity everywhere. The water on land divides into five streams representing five senses.

Let there be Love !

/lit/ doesnt know shit about the classic liberal arts. a modern-day mathematics major would know more about it since they'd be well-versed in math, geometry(not shapes, but manifolds and vector spaces) and logic.

all the modern liberal arts do know is make you able to churn out papers without disagreeing with the professor.
