Similar symbols[edit]

Shield pattern of the Western Roman infantry unit Armigeri Defensores Seniores (ca. AD 430)[8]

Similarities can be seen in NeolithicEneolithic era Cucuteni–Trypillia culture on the territory of current Ukraine and Romania. Patterns containing ornament looking like Taijitu from archeological artifacts of that culture were displayed in the Ukraine pavilion at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China.[35]

The interlocking design is found in artifacts of the European Iron Age.[6][36] Similar interlocking designs are found in the Americas: Xicalcoliuhqui.

While this design appears to become a standard ornamental motif in Iron-Age Celtic culture by the 3rd century BC, found on a wide variety of artifacts, it is not clear what symbolic value was attached to it.[37][38] Unlike the Chinese symbol, the Celtic yin-yang lack the element of mutual penetration, and the two halves are not always portrayed in different colors.[39] Comparable designs are also found in Etruscan art.[7]

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed
         Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;
And, happy melodist, unwearied,
         For ever piping songs for ever new;
More happy love! more happy, happy love!
         For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,
                For ever panting, and for ever young;
All breathing human passion far above,
         That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,
                A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.

Ode on a Grecian Urn

or imaginary, My Dream and the Butterfly's...Pirates make out...to bottom of fourth...the two, Fiction and Fact, interweave, all I'm saying...Ohtani walks, then Moniak hits a double!!!...Pirates 2, Angels 1...aaand, Moustakis hits a 3 run home run...Pirates 2, Angels 4...homeruns in 19 games in a row, Angels with a new franchise record....last two games, Ohtani has been walked six times?...in a row?...and he has come home for a run at least three times, I recall...a curio!..baseball is nothing if not curious!...so, so, are the Native American motifs a philosophical symbolism!?...Another home run...Cabbage's first major league home run!!!...Pirates 2, Angels 5...it makes a kinda sense, as the Chinese yin yang symbol is attributed to a single philosopher...yet, yet, as wiki notes, it is one of those symbols found world wide, and back in time...even the dot, for the yin yang...I don't know when the triangle for the step fret starts up...it's missing in many representations...and sometime indistinct as to what kind of triangle it is...sometimes it is equilateral, other times Pythagorian...Pirates up...hit by pitch...top of fifth...wap..a home run...Pirates 4, Angels 5...the "Pythagoreans" are one of the usual suspects for being whoever it was that was spreading knowhow and motifs around in ancient times...the stuff of the Mysterion vlogs...these "whoevers" still about, I'd say...one of their "tells" might be the use of colors...the symbol post in the works touches this...the Moche have this quadripartite habit...see Four Corner hats!!!...in the textiles, there will be four boxes, each with the same motif, but the colors alternate, the boxes diagonally from one another the same...and this persists in the ceramics...and other Andean cultures...is that some code?...some philosophical symbolism?...my wonder, is it a "factual" thing..."1" represents "one"...all the numbers represent, well, numbers. making accounting factual, true, and reliable...Angels up...Neto hits a home run!!!both sides with three home runs...I wanted to go to game...speculation it might be Ohtani's last pitching outing in Angel uniform...trade deadline August 1...if Angels don't sign him...oh, too much, too sad, if he is traded, or goes to another team in free agency...Ohtani gets on on dropped third strike...Pirates 4, Angels 6...Moniak K...Ward up...home run...Pirates 4, Angels 8...Moustakis up...K...to top of sixth...I've read about how the Moche use colors, the vlog about Four Corner hats by Smart History has it I think...brbk...oh, wait...Pirates with a home run...Ohtani still getting bombed...visit the mound!!!...Pirates 5, Angels 8...K, one down..."everything in the air is just...jumping"...well, yeah, it is hot!...fly out...welp, game is moving along too fast...for sometime how the Moche were alternating things...to top of seventh...unless I can find a good quote about it nowabout!...well, there, the four corner hat...it is even kinda fractal, different colored squares inside of squares...Ohtani relieved...a round of applause!...top of seventh...that hat, the step fret feathered pouch (see last post) are painfully beautiful to look at, like they are from an impossible realm of the imagination, impossible considering our modern world!..in comments to Smart Histories take on that second hat, I corrected their interpretation...the three fingers represent a hand holding a bird...the self same bird in the other squares...somehow, it relates to the "Decapitator" motif, where a figure holds decapitated head, in this case the bird a stand in, or some such...but the diagonal alternation in colors is there, the alternation even includes the parts...it's ingenious!...apparently, these were created in kinda like monastereis for women weavers, closely guarded and pampered, as textiles were wealth and status...Ohtani up...W...Moniak up...base hit...the Museum rotates the hats...each side a different color scheme...if the Native American's motifs, art, are a "Chinese Philosophy", oh that would be a disappointment...Philosophers, psychologists, metaphysicians, and such, often insert themselves into motifs...I mean, not only do they make up their own, but make up stuff about ones they didn't make...and their deliveries so compelling, one is moved to think, "Oh, that's how it must be..." ...the symbol post will go into this!...an ax to grind for sometime...top of eighth...time to feed Maya my Dog, and find a snack for me!...oh, the indoor cats, Eugene and Emily, too...two down...if I were to peg the motifs to something, it would be the stars-Astronomy...time will tell...to bottom of eighth...cats fed...have to listen to this game play out!...two down...runner on first...Valesquez steals second...Renfroe up...to top of ninth..."I think therefore I am"-Descartes...Art I Fact....two down...pop up...and Moustakis puts it away...Pirates 5, Angels 8...put a halo over this one...
