whenever I closed my eyes, I would instantly see all those lines, angles, faces, and edges. And suddenly I had this shocking flash of realization — what if I still haven’t actually found the tetrahedron in my matrix, the fifth element — fire?
What if I haven’t yet found it in the matrix? Because it’s no coincidence that Big Alexander keeps hinting to me: “There’s someone important, sitting somewhere in there, hiding somewhere. You need to keep observing, examining the matrix from different angles. Light a candle behind it — yes, in the dark, at night, place a candle behind the matrix and have it in front of you. Watch it. Pay attention to what you feel, what you see, what thoughts and ideas appear.” I’ve actually been doing just that — even the day before yesterday, and yesterday too. I keep looking at it all the time, even now. And yesterday, I was struck by a thought so strongly that I started feeling completely different — as if in shock, like a revelation: what if the tetrahedron still isn’t in my matrix? Because I have the cube, the rhombus inside the cube, the icosahedron, and the dodecahedron — all of that is there. But the thought hit me: what if those four elements — air, water, earth, and ether — are present, but fire, the fifth one, isn’t? Why did I think that? Because in principle, the tetrahedron does appear right away when I build the cube and add the cross-lines inside it. That forms the octahedron — a rhombus inside the cube — and from those same lines, two tetrahedrons also appear. But what if that’s not the main tetrahedron? Why did that thought come to me? Because when I started building the dodecahedron on top of the cube and then began extending tetrahedrons outward from it in different directions, I noticed — since they can indeed be created — I noticed it felt like all the shapes, all the volumetric triangles, the tetrahedrons, are everywhere. It’s as if everything is built from them. If I take a bunch of tetrahedrons right now, I can build an icosahedron from them — not the way most people would expect, but in a different way. It would be an icosahedron, and around it would be tetrahedrons — triangles. I can assemble a dodecahedron from these same triangles. I can build an octahedron from them. I can build a cube. I can build absolutely everything from these triangles. That’s what I saw — that all geometric shapes are built thanks to tetrahedrons. How did I come to this? I came to it by going in reverse.
