‘If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9,
then you would have a key to the universe.’
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)
‘As we know, he (Leonardo) developed a passion for geometry and spent the entire last portion of his life in this occupation… we find that the inconclusive notes he left on the great discovery he is supposed to have made on St Andrew’s night, 1504, regarding squaring of the circle, cover only the geometrical-mathematical aspect of the problem, though they do not further scientific purposes because he failed to present his hypothesis in geometrical formulae.
However the drawing we are analyzing offers us something much more important: it resolves what until now has been a purely abstract problem in the concrete dimension of the human consciousness.
It solidifies the square and the circle in the human being and shows the way in which squaring can be done as a transformative process which results in the rooting of the circle in the square (p. 321)
