Meditation of evil

Behold the finite set of thirteen convex figures
The irrational sine versus tangent 45

And we genuflect before pure abstraction
1.05946, twelfth root of two, amen

To begin again

To whom we venerate seven pieces,
endlessly manifold, self-contained revealed, replete

With all respect, we beseech the books of figures
Make us your analog, to begin again



(To get the next note in the (chromatic) scale, you multiply the frequency of the root note by the twelfth root of two (1.05946….). The harmony of the universe. )

Not participating in anything we believe is evil
