Tao Te Ching 1
The Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu is an ancient Chinese book that is very similar to the I Ching and yet it is truly different. The I Ching is based upon a binary system of math. The Tao Te Ching is based upon a trinary system of math. The two books are similar in that each mathematical symbol is associated with a written verse. The I Ching has 64 (8x8) hexagrams each with a verse, the Tao Te Ching has 81 (9x9) tetragrams each with a verse. Although both have be used for divination, the verses are more important as general words of wisdom. Along with the math, they can be used as a guide to a better understanding of the universe and ourselves.. Together they are the Chinese cultural equivalent to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible for Christians, or the Koran for Moslems, and the Bhagavad-Gita/Upanishads for Hindus. To put this in a clearer context, both Hebrew and Ancient Greek are intentionally constructed
The 3 Trinary Monograms
The numbers 1, 2, and 3 expressed with Trinary Graphic Symbols.
The 9 Trinary Bigrams
The numbers 1 through 9 expressed with Trinary Graphic Symbols.
3x3 Square Geometry
When the horizontal numbers 1, 2, and 3 are connected by a line (actually three overlaping line segments) and the same is done with 4, 5 and 6, as well as with 7, 8 and 9, a simple design appears.
When the two designs above are combined, a third simple design is formed.

When the consecutive numbers 1 and 2 are connected by one line, and then the numbers 2 and 3 are connected by one line, and then the numbers 3 and 1 are connected by one line on the Magic Square of Saturn, a triangle is formed.When 4, 5, and 6 are connected, a straight line (actually three overlaping line segments) is formed. When 7, 8, and 9 are all connected by lines, a second triangle is formed.
When the lines of the two images above are combined,
then formed is the following beautiful design.
It's interesting that a perfect octagon is formed in the center.

The same process applied to the two squares
has been applied to the Bigram Circles.
Here,the Nonagon has been inverted.

The 3 Monograms,
9 Bigrams,
and 81 Tetragrams
alpha-numeric languages,in other words, the Bible is a very long and coherent mathematical miracle, as are the I Ching and Tao Te Ching. It should also be strongly noted here that Sanskrit is the only known language with mathematically regular conjugations and sentence structure that is computer friendly. With such a clear and precise grammar, it seems highly likely that there are other linguistical mathematical connections. The actual sounds of these ancient languages have meaning beyond words. It should also be noted that The Persian Empire was well known to have very advanced math, science, architecture, and art as well, although I don’t think Ancient Arabic was constructed to be an Alpha-Numeric language, Chinese certainly was not.
The numbers 1, 2, and 3 expressed with Color Trinary Graphics.
The numbers 1 through 9 expressed with Color Trinary Graphics.
When the vertical numbers 1, 4, and 7 are connected by a line (actually three overlaping line segments) and the same is done with 2, 5 and 8, as well as with 3, 6 and 9, another simple design appears.
Is The Magic Square of Saturn
The Magic Square of Saturn - the numbers in each row, column and long diagonal total 15.
If a 3x3 square of nine consecutive numbers are connected by lines in a similar way, but according to the horizontal order found in the Magic Square of Saturn, a mirror image of the first square is found.
Here, the three triangles have been separated out.
Now, these three triangle are separated out.
When the two designs are combined,
a balance hexagonal design is formed.
