ATON is a hopefully evolving classification theory. It aspires to unify knowledge around numbers and prefers naive methods. Some of the older posts are wrong but I'll keep them for the sake of continuity.

The eightfold way of existence

A Tantric Yantra.

















There are 4 tissue and 4 organ types in biology;

(((Connective,Epithelial),(Muscle,Neural)),
((Inner-sense,Outer-sense),(Inner-action,Outer-action)))

The symmetry is like the modular group. There are 4 groups and 12 types of Connective tissue;

(Loose,Dense,Cartilage,Other) =
((Areolar,Adipose,Reticular),(Regular,Irregular,Elastic),
(Hyaline,Fibrocartilage,Elastic),(Bone,Blood,Lymphatics))

There are 6 inner and 6 outer senses;

(((Pain,Pleasure),(Temperature,Pressure),(Rhythm,Harmony)),
((Touch,Balance),(See,Hear),(Taste,Smell)))

Senses have organs inside and outside the brain. The inner senses are more distributed over the body for their outer organs, yet more centralised in the brain. They make up the core of the brain. There are 6 inner and 6 outer organ groups of the body;

(((Stomach-Liver,Vagina-Penis),(Lungs,Kidneys),(Heart,Brain)),
((Hands,Feet),(Arms,Legs),(Torso-Tail,Head)))

The Head reflects the torso in the organ symmetry. Tissue types also differentiate into their own trees.

It seems each sense and action repeat the outer 6/8 pattern to expand their own category trees. For example See has eightfold outer symmetry;

(((Left,Right),(Inner-Eye,Eye)),
((Open-Close,Rotate),(Focus,AntiFocus)))

There are in fact 4 eyes; 2 inner, 2 outer. The inner eyes are expert systems to decode and interpret the signal from the outer eyes. They can also operate semi-independently such as visualising. The retina of the eye has triplet symmetry.

...

Culture obeys the same symmetry;

(((Interaction,Economics),(Logistics,Communications)),
((Politics,Ethics),(Sciences,Philosophy)))

There are 12 types of Interaction;

(((Chaos,Order),(Predation,Union),(Competition,Cooperation)),
((Feeding,Reproduction),(Maintenance,Extermination),(Production,Consumption)))

Interactions can also be listed in 4 groups of 3, exposing the conjugate symmetry;

(((Chaos,Predation,Competition),(Order,Union,Cooperation)),
((Feeding,Maintenance,Production),(Reproduction,Extermination,Consumption)))

There are 6 Sciences;

((Mathematics,Physics),(Chemistry,Biology),(Psychology,Intelligence))

...

Language;

(((Sound,Syllable),(Word,Sentence)),
((Conjunctive,Conditional),(Adjective-Noun,Adverb-Verb)))

...

Music;

(((Note,Interval),(Measure,Theme)),
((Tempo,Rhythm),(Melody,Harmony)))

There are 12 Notes in equal tempered music.

...

Mathematics;

(((Number,Operation),(Function,Equation)),
((Logic/Set-Theory,Analysis),(Algebra,Geometry)))

...

Universe;

(((Higgs,Boson),(Lepton,Quark)),
((Gas-Dust-Meteor-Comet,Planet-Moon),(Star,Black-Hole)))

Like the organs of an organism, the astronomical objects are places of transformation. An accumulation of rocks in space become spherical under Gravity after a critical mass. Therefore Planet and Moon represent a phase change from low level space debris. Similarly there is a phase change from Star to Black-Hole. The phases of matter also come in a quartet;

((Plasma,Gas),(Liquid,Solid))

There are 6 leptons and 6 quarks;

(((Electron,E-Neutrino),(Muon,M-Neutrino),(Tau,T-Neutrino)),
((Up,Down),(Strange,Charm),(Bottom,Top)))

There are 3 known Bosons;

(Light,Weak,Strong)

The remaining categories (Time,Gravity,Space) must be due to Higgs which is theorised to weigh mass. They seem to match the Boson triplet;

((Time,Gravity,Space),(Light,Weak,Strong))

It can also be written in 3 dualities to expose the partner symmetry;

((Time,Light),(Gravity,Weak),(Space,Strong)))

Time is defined by Light. Space has the triplet symmetry like Strong. The implied (Gravity,Weak) duality is interesting, since the energy released by fission is in fact a transformation of mass to light. Maybe Weak holds the key to Gravity.

If compared to biology, Higgs matches the Connective tissue which differentiates into things like Blood and Bone. This makes sense since Higgs is the ultimate stem cell.
