The existence of sacred geometry implies the existence of profane geometry blasphemous geometry heretic geometry whoreful geometry we should look into that - ThreadSky

Exactly correct.

The Pythagoreans literally killed people about irrational numbers and the only reason we don't have riots about de Sitter space is because all the mathematicians have better things to do with their time.

there's even an order called "order of nine angles". that's not a misspelling, that's exactly how it's called.

but it's the worst satanist order imaginable. carried out terrorist attacks and stuff.

I think mostly it's just angelic PR labeling everything "sacred" this or "divine" that.

Why isn't it called the Infernal Ratio? Because Big Angel slapped it's name on a geometric concept, that's why!

Imagine your least favorite neural network. Maybe something cooked up by the Military Industrial Complex. This forms a graph that can be eventually transposed to geometry.

Considering its purpose - some may consider this particular geometry profane. Heretical. Evil even?
