Tao exists, Tao IS

It has been shaping things
from before the First Being,
from before the Beginning of Time.

This sounds curiously like Gravity is the 4th Dimension by K.B. Robertson. The words I highlighted in red & read as a single sentence. The cornucopia is mathematically constructed as a series of straight lines turning at right angles to themselves as they expand at the square of their rate in three dimensional space.
___The planar analog of the spiral is derived by superimposing a vesica piscis whose long axis is the length of a larger vesica psicis' short axis & at right angles to it. Continuing this in either direction, i.e. smaller & larger additions & joining particular vetices results in the Archimedian Spiral. I'll see if I can't find the example drawing on the web. It is tedious to construct by hand with compass & straight edge, but enlightening.
