The Diagram

You might have already noticed the diagram that goes along with this Looping Spectrum idea, but here it is again in case you missed it:

I don't have a formal name for this symbol yet, I've mostly just been calling it "the diagram." This essay is to explain how I came up with these shapes in this arrangement. 

The diagram uses geometry to represent the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in a way that is contained and arranged by the color wheel. Basically, it starts with a circle, and depending on your perspective, this circle could be the large one on the outside, or the small one on the inside, but for the sake of this explanation, we will use the outside circle. 

This circle alone can represent zero, one, or infinity, link but for now it will just be considered our starting point. The next geometric figure to add would be the line, and just as I mentioned in this essay, link depending in your perspective sometimes the line comes first, and sometimes the circle comes first. 

So now there is a circle and a line, the two basic building blocks of other geometric figures. The next step up from here is three, and an equilateral triangle will be added to the diagram:

Because the triangle is equilaterally balanced, each of its points lines up with a primary color. It is also important to note that the line for the diameter cuts the triangle in half, making two 30, 60, 90 triangles. The next shape to add would be to represent four, but rather than a square or rectangle, a kite shape will be made. (This is because in the color wheel, the "fourth" point would be located between two primary colors.) 

Now that the four points are represented, we still have to account for the possibility that something could exist outside of, or inside of, this diagram. That is where the smaller circle comes in, and in this smaller circle the diagram repeats itself and the whole thing starts all over:

That is a basic guide to how the pieces of the diagram fit together and why they are in those places. I'm going to bring back the colored version before talking more about it:

There are a couple of things worth mentioning about this diagram, but its main function is to show a geometric pattern that is "hidden" in the mechanics of color. I think this pattern could be useful for sorting out various mysteries in our Universe because it shows a basic road map of the connections between different points on a spectrum, and how one spectrum could be connected to another. In other words, it is a way to find how everything is connected in terms of color and shape, aka wavelength and geometry.
