Writing out the Looping Spectrum Theory as a philosophy might help some people digest it better, and I think it holds just as much weight as a general way of thought as it does as a theory for the entire Universe.
The Looping Spectrum Theory is essentially founded on the study of singularities and binaries, seeing how small parts make the bigger picture, and finding the connections between seemingly unrelated things. These attributes make it useful as a general philosophy in addition to being a candidate for a Theory of Everything. So here it is: Looping Spectrum Theory explained as Looping Spectrum Philosophy.
I'll explain the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as concepts, starting with number 1.
1
The number 1 represents a singularity, a single thing. In terms of geometry, it would be a single point. It is pretty hard to talk about the concept of one because there is nothing else to compare it to. You could say it is like one apple, but then what does that even mean? One apple where? In your hand? One apple in a basket? If it is just an apple, then you couldn't even be there to say that there is one apple because then there would be two things; you and the apple. Which brings us to the concept of 2, which is a lot easier to relate to.
2
The number 2 represents a binary, or two things. In terms of geometry, it would be two points, and these two points would have a line between them, forming a line segment. The concept of two is the bread and butter of easy to understand simplicity. Things like on or off, black or white, good or evil, yes or no, are all very common examples of binary concepts.
3
The concept of 3 is where things start to get interesting and a bit more complicated. It represents a ternary, or three things. In terms of geometry, it would be three points, and these points could form a triangle, or they could all be on the same line and represent the beginning, the end, and something in between. With on or off, the in-between would be the point where on becomes off, with black and white it would be some shade of gray, with good or evil it would be neutral, with yes or no it would be maybe. The concept of three is a more realistic portrayal of things in the Universe because we know things aren't as simple as one or the other, it's the shades of gray that really matter. The concept of three is where we get a spectrum, because we have the thing at one end, the thing at the other end, and the everything in between.
4
The concept of 4 is where things start to get loopy, and I mean that both figuratively and literally. Four represents four things, and in geometry these four points would form a quadrilateral, like a square or rectangle. The four points could also be in a straight line, but in Looping Spectrum Theory, it is the 4th point that connects the opposite ends of the spectrum to form a loop. This 4th point is opposite of the 3rd. With on or off, it would be both on and off at the same time instead of being between on or off. With black or white it would be still be gray, but gray because it is flipping between being both black and white so fast that it comes out as gray instead of just being gray. With good or evil it would be something both good and evil at the same time instead of just neutral. With yes or no it would be maybe because you want both options, instead of being maybe because you can't decide. Seeing things from the fourth point allows you to view the entire spectrum instead of being stuck as a third point somewhere between two extremes.
5
The concept of 5 represents five things, but the geometrical references aren't really needed at this point. In terms of the looping spectrums (or spectra, I guess), the 5th point would be outside the loop, and it represents the path to a different loop. In other words, the 5th point is actually a point in a different loop, and forms a bridge between two seemingly unrelated concepts.
Now, there are two more very important numbers (numerical concepts), and those are Zero, and Infinity.
0
The concept of Zero represents no things, or nothing. It has no geometrical shape; no points, no angles, no sides, nothing at all! It is impossible to define the concept of Zero without something to compare it to. In other words, you need to have something to be able to describe nothing. Something and Nothing is a binary concept though, not a Zero concept. There is no such thing as a true nothing, because there would be nothing there to even say it was nothing. Even the word Zero is a thing, and therefore goes against the very nature of the concept of nothing.
( >< )
The concept of Infinity represents all things, or everything. It doesn't have a traditional geometric shape, but it does have a symbol that I sort of made using parenthesis and greater than/less than symbols. (You probably know the symbol as an 8 laying down.) The concept of Infinity is the concept of everything. Since it is everything, there can not be any things outside of it. If something could exist outside of everything, the concept would lose its meaning.
The concepts of 1, 0, and Infinity have something in common; you can't define them without resorting to the concept of 2. This is because 1, 0, and Infinity are actually the same concept. The link between 1 and Infinity is fairly simple to make, so I'll start there. Infinity is everything, so it is everything all at once. In other words, if nothing can be outside of everything, then it is actually just one thing when you see it as a whole. In other other words, the Universe is everything, and there is only one Universe. If there was more than one Universe, the word would lose its meaning, and we would need a new word to describe a group of Universes. (We could call it a multiverse, but that is just the concept of infinity again. Besides, calling it a multiverse implies that there is just one, and we are back at the concept of one. Don't bother trying to call it multi multiverse, you know where that will lead you!) Also, the term singularity basically means infinity already. A singularity (commonly used to describe black holes), is an infinitesimal point. It is everything, all at once. Everything and one. Infinity and One.
The concept of 0 is tied in with this because it can not exist without something to compare it to. This is similar to what I was originally saying about the concept of One. If there is one apple, that doesn't really mean anything. There might as well be 1 grape, or 0 table or B Garflark. Without something else to compare these things to, some kind of frame of reference, there is no way to differentiate between what is an apple and what is a not-apple. This is just another way of saying you can't have up without down, positive without negative, or nothing without something.
On a final note, allow me to re-describe the concept of One.
1
The number 1 represents a singularity, or everything and nothing all at once. In geometric terms, it is a single point, and points and circles are the same thing. The circle is the most basic shape, and it represents One because of its single point in the middle, Infinity because of its infinite vertices, and Zero because of its Zero sides. One is the concept that can not be described, but it can be visualized, and at its most basic, that visual is a circle.
