another home run with runner on...Twins 6-0...I bookmarked a mention of 'motif', but cant find it...it's a mathematical term, or something...page had a geometric diagram, and, well, I'll keep looking...fly out to Goodwin...to bottom of second...found it...search: quartz crystal the quartz page

A crystal is a solid body with a homogeneous regular internal structure. It is built up by a periodic repetition of basic elements. Those basic elements can be atoms, ions, entire molecules, or groups of them. A geometrical element that is periodically repeated to form a regular pattern is called a motif, and, in a sense, we look for motifs in the crystal structure.

Mathematics is sometimes called the "Science of Pattern", in the sense of rules that can be applied wherever needed.[25] For example, any sequence of numbers that may be modeled by a mathematical function can be considered a pattern. Mathematics can be taught as a collection of patterns.[

"Mathematics can be taught as a collection of patterns."
hmmph...
"Cracks form in materials to relieve stress: with 120 degree joints in elastic materials, but at 90 degrees in inelastic materials. Thus the pattern of cracks indicates whether the material is elastic or not. Cracking patterns are widespread in nature, for example in rocks, mud, tree bark and the glazes of old paintings and ceramics."

Quetzalcoatl is also called the Great Twin, who is accompanied on his journey through the Underworld by his twin Xolotl wearing a dog mask:

The Chac carvings of Mesoamerica appear to resemble the Indian elephant for the very purpose of leaving an ancient memory of contact between the sages across the continents. The stonework below from the ancient Mayan site of Labna contains the Chac ‘elephant-like trunk’ rearing back with the vision serpent jaws opening to reveal an ancestor.

that, that's the same notion of the 'buried treasure', the Indian guru who went to Tibet and would bury things, motifs, that when dug up would cue, somehow, a student, and so pass on ancient knowledge...I thought of an odd analogy to this...while reading yesterday, I did a Hercules images search...the first buffed up muscle bound hero...and thought, if some kid in ancient times saw those statues, would it inspire them to take up weight lifting?...Calhoun up again with bases loaded...grounder out to second...a 'redeem himself' opportunity gone...oh, I can insert this curio here:...there's a wonder how birds pass on the knowledge to build nests...each species has their own style, some very elaborate...and I thought, well, if one grows up in a nest, one may recall how to make it!...there's a back and forth between what is learned by instinct, and what is taught and learned...for sometime birds and nest, bees and hives...Twins up...top of sixth...Twins 9-2...to bottom of sixth...

In the Yukatan, Quetzalcoatl, translated in Mayan as Kukulcan, was also known among the Maya as their first priest, called Itzamna. In the Historia Antigua de Yucatan, Itzamna was their instructor and:
gave names to all the rivers and divisions of land; … and taught them proper rights … was the patron of healers and diviners, and had disclosed to them the mysterious virtues of plants …. (he) first invented the characters of letters in which the Maya wrote their numerous books, and which they carved … on the stone …. He also devised the calendar…. Itzamna, regarded as ruler, priest and teacher, was, no doubt, spoken of as an historical personage.

"It is a mathematical truth," Lightman writes, "that there are only three geometrical figures with equal sides that can fit together on a flat surface without leaving gaps: equilateral triangles, squares and hexagons."

The first known man-made polyhedra are spherical polyhedra carved in stone. Many have been found in Scotland, and appear to date from the neolithic period (the New Stone Age).

One of America’s most peculiar ghost towns, Rhyolite, Nevada is uniquely rich in one thing: bottle houses. Three of these structures–made by embedding glass beverage bottles in various kinds of mortar–can be found in this long-dead desert town.
... ... ...
With an estimated 50 saloons operating in Rhyolite at the time, Kelly collected 50,000 bottles in less than six months, enough to build a three-room house, complete with a porch and quaint gingerbread trim. Inside, the walls were plastered like a real city home. To miners of the day, this was a castle.
