A reference work for students and perpetual students to begin to visualize the totality of our universe and its inherent ordering system so we might begin to see and understand ourselves in new ways. Here is the most simple, relational container for all known information. There are just over 201 notations -- not many -- within which we can embrace everything within the known universe.

tries: We start simply with the five platonic solids. These well-known structures begin to teach us how things combine, transform, and interact -- combinatorial geometry -- where information is increasingly nested within those 201 notations. This working project is dubbed, Big Board - little universe. There are many blank lines asking for ideas, concepts, and eventually information. So, a warm welcome to you...this page provides access to a highly-speculative, work-in-progress. Friends and family were the first to be invited to come to begin a critical review. Now, friends of friends are also being invited! The hope is that the project will be validated in its scope and logic. If the logic and scope are invalidated, the results of that process will be fully reported and analyzed. High school students will be invited to think about this model as a relatively simple way to organize information. College students, graduate students, doctoral candidates, and post-docs will be invited to consider how praxis can be reduced to theoria as well as theoria reduced to praxis. Select business partners are being invited to consider if-and-how these concepts could be integrated within their own work. Key Words: Universe, simplest three-dimensional objects, Plato's solids, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, hexahedron and hexacontagon. Description: A collaborative research and development of a comprehensive model that includes everything from the smallest scale to the human scale and then to the largest scale within the known universe. Working Title: Big Board-little universe
The back story: This project began as a result of a high school geometry class in the greater New Orleans area.
