Planes of Reality
|
From “The Relations between Poetry and Painting,” “The theory of poetry, that is to say, the total of the theories of poetry, often seems to become in time a mystical theology or, more simply, a mystique. The reason for this must by now be clear. The reason is the same reason why the pictures in a museum of modern art often seem to become in time a mystical aesthetic, a prodigious search of appearance, as if to find a way of saying and of establishing that all things, whether below or above appearance, are one and that it is only through reality, in which they are reflected or, it may be, joined together, that we can reach them. Under such stress, reality changes from substance to subtlety, a subtlety in which it was natural for Cézanne to say: ‘I see planes bestriding each other and sometimes straight lines seem to me to fall’ or ‘Planes in color. . . . The colored area where shimmer the souls of the planes, in the blaze of the kindled prism, the meeting of planes in the sunlight.’" |

Cube Space
Theorem:
Some large natural symmetry groups of the sets of 8, 16, 32, or 64 points
in Euclidean space that are located at the vertices of a cube in 3, 4, 5. or 6
dimensions are generated by, respectively, arbitrary permutations of
parallel edges or parallel faces or parallel cubes or parallel hypercubes .
(For an example, see Diamond Theory in 1937.)

Blazon Day: Fields and Shields
That title was suggested by an artist wielding her art like a shield
in this morning's post "Art Process," and by the four squares and
four diamonds of yesterday's post "A Combinatorial Configuration."

A Combinatorial Configuration
Related art —
From "Self-Dual Configurations and Regular Graphs" by H. S. M. Coxeter,
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 56 (1950), pp. 413-455
For a related combinatorial configuration, take Oxbury's "16 lines"
to be the the 16 dots above and take the "8 points of intersection"
to be the four squares
234, 1234, 124, 24
23, 123, 12, 2
3, 13, 1, 0
34, 134, 14, 4
along with the four diamonds
234, 23, 3, 34
1234, 123, 13, 134
124, 12, 1, 14
24, 2, 0, 4.
Then each "line" is on two "points" and each "point" on
four "lines."
Note that these eight "points" — the four squares and the four diamonds
of Coxeter's figure — form the rows and columns of the following matrix:
| 234 | 1234 | 124 | 24 |
| 23 | 123 | 12 | 2 |
| 3 | 13 | 1 | 0 |
| 34 | 134 | 14 | 4 |

Face Planes Mindset Shift
A rather different planes solution from Log24 on March 7 —
See the illustrations in this journal on that date and . . .
"Note that in the Design Cube image above, the six faces are viewed
as suspended in space on three pairs of parallel planes, with the observer
viewing the parallel images only from the three directions front to back,
right to left, and top to bottom. In the WebSim row of six faces, the images
are pictured as they might be seen by an observer whose viewpoints vary
as he himself floats in space around the cube."
