SYMBOLISM OF THE FIFTH NUMBER

Pentagram: A pentacle in the shape of a five-pointed star-shaped polygon. It symbolizes the Microcosm because its shape suggests that of a human being with arms outstretched and legs apart.

The five appears as a pivot from the square of Saturn; on the Pythagorean triangle, it faces the right angle.

5 1 d 2

For a temple built according to Vitruvius or Solomon, five is the value of the square of the diagonal: "The width of the temple must equal half its length."

d / c = ( d + c ) / d =

c

Golden ratio ( ), golden section, Divine proportion or division of a line segment into mean and extreme ratio: Value of the proportion that results from dividing a line segment in a way that is both asymmetrical and harmonious.

c d

On the pentagon and the golden ratio

"Three aligned points, determining two segments, form a golden section, if there is the same ratio of the smallest part to the largest as the large part to the whole."

( = (1 + √5) / 2) 1,618034

The structure on the left is made up of three intertwined golden rectangles, allowing you to easily construct an icosahedron. (By connecting the vertices of the golden rectangles with a wire.)

THE FIVE PLATONIC BODIES

This page and the one opposite are entirely made from Extracts from "Geometry of the Golden Ratio" by Robert Vincent. Chalagam Editions.)-

Regular convex polyhedra inscribed in a sphere (Platonic bodies):

In the fifth century BC, Plato demonstrated the existence of closed solid bodies bounded by regular and equal polygonal faces and angles with equal vertices.

These bodies, called regular polyhedra, are said to be convex if they remain entirely on one side of the plane of any of their faces.

He counted five of them, each inscribed in an inscribed sphere, tangent to all their faces. Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius, mathematicians of antiquity, were interested in them, as were Albert Durer in the Middle Ages, Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance, and later, in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, Kepler, Euler, Poinsot, Cauchy, Catalan, and Joseph Bertrand.

“The even is always imperfect and lacks something.

The odd number, on the contrary, is full and complete; united with the even, it retains its character since the result is odd (...); united with itself, that is to say with any odd number, it produces the even, thereby showing its fertility. It cannot be divided into two parts without there being a remainder.

TETRAHEDRON

Regular polyhedron whose faces are four equilateral triangles.

OCTAHEDRON

Regular polyhedron whose faces are eight equilateral triangles.

DODECAHEDRON

Regular polyhedron whose faces are twelve pentagons.

Conversely, the even number united to itself proves incapable of procreating the odd, and it allows itself to be easily divided. Homer was not unaware of this. (P.53 Mysteries of Numbers, Lucien Gérardin)
