STAR POLYGONS Star polygons are formed by marking equally spaced points around the circumference (outside) of a circle, and joining every second (or third or fourth etc.) point. Every circumference point must be joined according to the rule chosen. For example, we could divide a circle’s circumference into 9 equal sections and join every second point as follows. 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 A convenient way to describe this star polygon is (9,2) Divide circumference into 9 Join every 2nd equal sections using 1. Construct a large circle by drawing two semi−circles using Geo−Pro’s protractor. Use the protractor divide the circle into 9 equal sections around the circumference. (Hint: mark points 40° apart.) Repeat for 2 more circles. 2. Sketch the following star polygons: (a) (9,3) (b) (9,4) (c) (9,5) (d) What do you notice? 3. What would (9,6) and (9,7) look like? 4. Why are (9,8) and (9,1) not true star polygons? 5. Investigate star polygons using 12 sections. How many degrees are between each section? Why is (12,6) unusual? 6. Sketch (5,2). 7. Colour some of your designs. You may wish to make a large version of one or more for display. Answers STAR POLYGONS 2. (a) (b) (c) (9,3) (9,4) (9,5) (d) (9,4) has sharper points than (9,3), which in turn has sharper points than (9,2). (9,5) is the same as (9,4). 3. (9,6) is the same as (9,3). (9,7) is the same as (9,2). In general, (m,n) is the same as (m,m−n). 4. (9,8) and (9,1) are simple nonagons (9 equal angles and sides). 5. The star polygons of the form (12,n) are shown below. (12,2) and (12,10) (12,3) and (12,9) (12,4) and (12,8) (12,5) and (12,7) (12,6) There are 30° between each section in star polygons of the form (12,n).

Dynamic bonding patterns in n-tuple helices engendering n-fold rotating symbols Embedding the triple helix in a spherical octahedron Embedding the quadruple helix in a spherical cube Embedding the quintuple helix in a spherical dodecahedron and a Pentagramma Mirificum Embedding six-fold, eight-fold and ten-fold helices in appropriately encircled polyhedra Embedding twelve-fold, eleven-fold, nine-fold and seven-fold helices in appropriately encircled polyhedra Neglected recognition of logical patterns -- especially of opposition Dynamic relationship between polyhedra engendered by circles -- variously implying forms of unity Symbol rotation as dynamic essential to engaging with value-inversion References Introduction The contrast to the geocentric model of the solar system was framed by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). His much-cited phrase, " And yet it moves" (E pur si muove or Eppur si muove) was allegedly pronounced in 1633 when he was forced to recant his claims that the Earth moves around the immovable Sun rather than the converse -- known as the Galileo affair. Such a shift in perspective might usefully inspire the recognition that the stasis attributed so widely to logos and other much-valued cultural and heraldic symbols obscures the manner in which they imply a fundamental cognitive dynamic. Cultural symbols fundamental to the identity of a group might then be understood as variously moving and transforming in ways which currently elude comprehension.

Constructing Star Polygons
Constructing Star Polygons The five-pointed star below was made by starting with 5 evenly spaced points and connecting every 2nd point. We say we’ve used the “connection rule 2.” It’s called a star polygon when you hits all the points you started with in one continuous loop. 1. For each number of dots on the following sheets, what connection rules create star polygons (i.e., hit all the dots)? Which connection rules don’t create star polygons? 2. Is there a way to know if a connection rule c will create a star polygon on n dots without trying it? Write a conjecture that explains what connection rules make star polygons, and defend or break your conjecture to another student at this station. 3. For n = 29 dots, which connection rules create star polygons? 4. For n = 30 dots, which connection rules create star polygons? 5. For any n, how many connection rules create star polygons? Hint: break this up into cases. What if n is prime? A product of distinct primes? A power of 2? A power of 3? A power of p prime?

The Five and Six Pointed Stars by H.P
The Five and Six Pointed Stars by H.P. Blavatsky The Five and Six Pointed Stars by H.P. Blavatsky Our authorities for representing the pentagram or the five-pointed star as the microcosm, and the six- pointed double triangle as the macrocosm, are all the best known Western Kabalists — mediaeval and modern. Éliphas Lévi (Abbé Constant) and, we believe, Kunrath, one of the greatest occultists of the past ages, give their reasons for it. In Hargrave Jennings’ Rosicrucians the correct cut of the microcosm with man in the centre of the pentagram is given. There is no objection whatever to publish their speculations save one — the lack of space in our journal, as it would necessitate an enormous amount of explanations to make their esoteric meaning clear. But room will always be found to correct a few natural misconceptions which may arise in the minds of some of our readers, owing to the necessary brevity of our editorial notes. So long as the question raised provokes no discussion to show the interest taken in the subject, these notes touch but superficially upon every question. The excellence of the above- published paper ["The Six-pointed and Five-pointed Stars," by Krishna Shankar Lalshankar], and the many valuable remarks contained in it, afford us now an opportunity for correcting such errors in the author’s mind. As understood in the West by the real Kabalists, Spirit and Matter have their chief symbolical meaning in the respective colours of the two interlaced triangles, and relate in no way to any of the lines which bind the figures themselves.

Tessellated and Stellated Invisibility
Tessellated and stellated invisibility AndréDiatta,1 AndréNicolet,2 Sébastien Guenneau,1 and Frédéric Zolla2 September 20, 2021 1Department of Mathematical Sciences, Peach Street, Liverpool L69 3BX, UK Email addresses: [email protected]; [email protected] 2Institut Fresnel, UMR CNRS 6133, University of Aix-Marseille III, case 162, F13397 Marseille Cedex 20, France Email addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; Abstract We derive the expression for the anisotropic heterogeneous matrices of per- mittivity and permeability associated with two-dimensional polygonal and star shaped cloaks. We numerically show using finite elements that the forward scat- tering worsens when we increase the number of sides in the latter cloaks, whereas it improves for the former ones. This antagonistic behavior is discussed using a rigorous asymptotic approach. We use a symmetry group theoretical approach to derive the cloaks design.

Many authors have since then dedicated a fast growing amount of work to the invisibility cloak- arXiv:0912.0160v1 [physics.optics] 1 Dec 2009 ing problem. However, there are alternative approaches, including inverse problems’s methods [3] or plasmonic properties of negatively refracting index materials [4]. It is also possible to cloak arbitrarily shaped regions, and for cylindrical domains of arbi- trary cross-section, one can generalize [1] to linear radial geometric transformations [5] ′ r = R1(θ)+ r(R2(θ) R1(θ))/R2(θ) , 0 r R2(θ) , ′ − ≤ ≤ θ = θ , 0 < θ 2π , (1) ′ ≤ x = x , x IR , 3 3 3 ∈ ′ ′ ′ where r , θ and x3 are “radially contracted cylindrical coordinates” and (x1, x2, x3) is the Cartesian basis.

The Sacred Geometry of the Leadership Circle Profile and the Universal Model of Leadership: Toward a Physics of Leadership
THE SACRED GEOMETRY OF THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE AND THE UNIVERSAL MODEL OF LEADERSHIP: TOWARD A PHYSICS OF LEADERSHIP Bob Anderson Founder, Chairman & Chief Development Officer The Leadership Circle® ©The Leadership Circle, 2020 | All Rights Reserved Sacred Geometry of the Leadership Circle Profile ABSTRACT Nature scales in fractal geometries. Among these, and perhaps the core scaling geometries, are the circle/sphere, Pi, the equilateral triangle, the hexagon (the structure of carbon), the constant Phi, the Doubling Sequence, and the Fibonacci Sequence. This paper uses digital root math to find previously hidden patterns within the Fibonacci Sequence (as far as the author knows). The Fibonacci Sequence is found to pattern perfectly to the hexagon, the six-pointed star, Buckminster Fuller’s Vector Equilibrium (VE), and Nassim Harramein’s Isotropic Vector Matrix (IVM). Both the VE and the IVM are proposed by their respective authors as being the Structure of the Vacuum or the Zero-Point Quantum Field. This paper does not try to validate these theories but shows how Phi is related to hexagonal structures and how the Fibonacci Sequence, and the number patterns within it, relate to these theories. It will show how the Fibonacci Sequence is a hexagonal geometry comprised of zero-point mathematics (polarities that arise from zero in equal and opposite directions and sum to zero). The Leadership Circle’s Universal Model of Leadership (UML), the dynamic polarities within it, and its correlation matrix is found to be consistent/coherent with core scaling geometries. Human beings pattern their identities and the dynamics of their interaction to the same geometries.

STAR POLYGONS Revealing Cosmic Laws by Ernst Muller, Ph.D
Published in Present Age, Vol.3. #4, 1938 STAR POLYGONS Revealing Cosmic Laws by Ernst Muller, Ph.D. (Vienna) THE EVIDENT CONNECTION of certain geometrical figures with cosmic Laws of Nature is most clearly to be seen in the so-called” Star Polygons,” which differ from the ordinary regular polygons (triangle, square, pentagon, etc.) by their repeated crossings, their folding back upon themselves. The simplest of star polygons is indeed avery ancient symbol of the Celtic and Pythagorean Mysteries. It is the so-called Pentagram (Fig. I), known also as the Pentalpha and by a variety of other names. A star polygon is formed if we mark out a number of points at equal distances along the circumference of a circle in such a way as to return to the starting-point, not after one but after several revolutions . We join the points, in the order taken, with straight lines or chords. We can then express every conceivable type of star polygon by means of a fraction, whereof the denominator which above all determines the “type” of the polygon-represents the number of times we have had to go round the circle, while the numerator gives the number of sides of the polygon. (The “simple” polygons are therefore of the type with denominator 1, the pentagram 2, ‘and so on.)’. We then obtain the polygon” a/b “ by dividing the circumference of the circle into a parts and advancing b of these parts at a time. In general, a, and b are assumed to be relatively prime. If this is not so, the star polygon can be divided into a number of separate polygons interpenetrating one-another.

Drawing Stars by Daniel B
Drawing Stars by Daniel B. Shapiro 9/99 The usual 5-pointed star is a wonderful figure. It was the mystic symbol, called a pentagram, for the “Pythagorean” cult of ancient Greece. They investigated many of its mathematical and magical properties. The 6-pointed star , called a hexagram or Star of David, also has a long history as a religious symbol. What other stars can you draw? Let’s look at the pentagram more closely. Start with 5 dots, equally spaced around a circle. At each dot we place an imaginary jumping spider which leaves a straight web-trail wherever it jumps. Suppose each spider jumps directly to the second dot to its right, that is: to the dot which is two steps away, clockwise around the circle. Here is what that traced figure might look like: One-third done Finished The usual way to create this star on paper is to draw one segment after another, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Now use the same 5 dots, but let the spiders jump to the dot which is just one step away. (We use the word “step” to mean the motion from one dot the next one, clockwise around the circle.) This produces a different figure, the regular pentagon: One-third done Finished This “star” can also be drawn one segment after another, without lifting the pencil from the paper. What if you use those 5 dots, but now each spider jumps to the dot which is 3 steps away? What figure do you get? What happens when they jump 4 steps each time? What about 5 steps? Let’s try 6 dots now, rather than 5.
