According to this theory, the universe is not created or destroyed but rather exists in an infinite cycle of reflection and transformation. The concept of beginning and end is relative to human perception. Just as everything in the universe has its opposite (life and death, up and down, big and small), so too does the notion of creation have its counterpart - destruction. In terms of human life, individuals are born as infants and eventually grow old before dying. However, this process does not imply that the universe itself had a beginning or will have an end. Rather than being created from something specific like humans are born from infancy to adulthood, everything in the universe arises through a continuous interplay between opposites. The idea here is that there is no ultimate starting point or endpoint for existence; instead it operates within an eternal cycle where things constantly transform into their opposites. The same principle applies to both the origin (beginning)and demise (end)of our world. It doesn't matter what word we use; this principle holds true for all creation. Is there an end awaiting our world? If we consider human life as an analogy: humans experience death but do they also reach their ultimate end? By "end," I mean complete annihilation –the cessationof all existence. When humans die,the body decays,and returns backto nature(like becoming one with soil). However,the physical body has limitations.It can shrink infinitely inward,but it cannot go beyond certain boundaries by default.Therefore,in terms ofscales,a person's death serves onlyasafactor contributingtothe continuationofexistence,ratherthanthedeathofoverallcreation.However,itdiffersfromthedestructionofthewholeuniverse.Notextremelydifferent,similarlytohowahumantransitionsfromoneformtoaotherbutdoesnotceasetoexistentirely.Inthissense,thereisasimilaritybetweenhumansandtheuniverse. Numbers: We use numbers to count various things, but what is a number? Numbers can be divided into two categories: even and odd. The first number is one (unity). The second number is two. The third number is three. But are these just numbers we use for counting and nothing more? In fact, everything in the universe consists of numbers. If everything in the world were made up of numbers, it would mean that everything originates from one thing. But what exactly is this "one thing"? Just as all existence comprises shapes and forms like squares or triangles,the first shape that emerges must be a triangle. However,a triangle does not exist on its own;it has reflections (opposites) too.

By "end," I mean complete annihilation – the cessation of all existence. When humans die, the body decays, and returns back to nature (like becoming one with soil). However, the physical body has limitations. It can shrink infinitely inward, but it cannot go beyond certain boundaries by default. Therefore, in terms of scales, a person's death serves only as a factor contributing to the continuation of existence, rather than the death of overall creation. However, it differs from the destruction of the whole universe. Not extremely different, similarly to how a human transitions from one form to another but does not cease to exist entirely. In this sense, there is a similarity between humans and the universe. Numbers: We use numbers to count various things, but what is a number? Numbers can be divided into two categories: even and odd. The first number is one (unity). The second number is two. The third number is three. But are these just numbers we use for counting and nothing more? In fact, everything in the universe consists of numbers. If everything in the world were made up of numbers, it would mean that everything originates from one thing. But what exactly is this "one thing"? Just as all existence comprises shapes and forms like squares or triangles, the first shape that emerges must be a triangle. However, a triangle does not exist on its own; it has reflections (opposites) too. Shapes: The first shape is the triangle, and the second shape is the square. All other shapes emerge from these two. For example, the square and triangle are both types of shapes, and big and small are both scales present in the physical world. Similarly, some shapes resemble squares (even), while others resemble triangles (odd). Movement: All physical entities in the universe are forms or shapes. As each new form arises through reflection or transformation, it initiates movement indefinitely. Arrangement: Everything originates from different arrangements of basic geometric forms such as triangles and squares. The arrangement or reflection of these forms may appear similar across various substances until they differ at some point. This difference represents their unique reflection pattern. In essence, some substances may manifest the same shape or number but possess distinct arrangements that set them apart. Now, considering your question about finding the shape and number of a word like "judgement," we must first acknowledge that words are products of human language and communication, which are social constructs. They do not possess a physical form in the same way that shapes or numbers do. However, words can be seen as representations of abstract ideas or concepts. In this case, "judgement" can be seen as a concept that involves the evaluation or assessment of something. While it may not have a tangible shape or a specific numerical value, it still exists as an idea within our minds. Therefore, the association of shape and number may be limited when it comes to abstract concepts like words. In conclusion, the concept of an infinite cycle of reflection and transformation applies to the universe as a whole, as well as to individual entities within it. Numbers and shapes serve as fundamental elements of existence, enabling us to perceive and understand the world around us. However, when it comes to abstract concepts like words, their association with specific shapes and numbers may be less relevant.
