domestic spheres — dwelling, utensils, vessels, clothing, various parts which at the linguistic and supra-linguistic levels are connected with the names of the human body: the foot of a mountain, the leg of a table, of a chair. Anthropomorphization of inanimate objects in language, in figurative systems — verbal, pictorial, and so on.

Cosmologization and the parameters of the Universe. The model of the world is always oriented toward the cosmologization of being. Everything is connected with the cosmos, derived from it, tested and confirmed through correlation with it. The model of the world presupposes, above all, the identification and description of the cosmologized modus vivendi, that is, the mode of existence, and the basic spatial-temporal parameters of the Universe. This is the connection of space and time and the corresponding images — the sky, the year, the world tree, and so on. The organization of space and time and the most sacred, and consequently maximally cosmologized, points — this is the center of the world, the beginning of time, the time of creation, reproduced in the main annual ritual, accordingly, the sacred points of space (shrines, sacred places) and of time (sacred days, festivals). The means of cosmologizing space and time with the aim of struggling against the tendencies of the “wearing out” of the world — ritual in the model of the world, oriented toward the mastery of chaos, its transformation into cosmos.

Causal restorations of the general schemes that determine everything that exists in the cosmologized Universe and everything that arises and changes within it, whose measure corresponds to everything and by which everything is determined by the world law. “Rta” in Ancient India, “Logos” in Ancient Greece, “Maat” in Ancient Egypt, and others. Ethical definitions of the spheres of good and evil, positive and negative, permitted and forbidden, proper and improper, and the consolidation of these spheres in actual behavior, in codes of moral conditions and in the creation of ethical standards.

The quantitative — this is number, the characteristics of the Universe and of its individual parts. The definition of sacred numbers, which cosmologize the most important parts of the Universe and the key moments of life: 3, 7, 10, 12, 30
