In essence, the torus and the vortex co-define each other.
They are two views of the same process.
Mathematicians can show how the same properties that define
the torus can be used to define a tetrahedron, a four
sided pyramid,
(a true representation of maximum symmetry).
The vortex can be placed inside of the tetrahedron and
we have
the Light in the Meeting Tent.

This is a model of maximum contrast
The vortex flame and the tetrahedron compliment each other
yet represent the dual nature of almost every living
system.

When a light is reflected onto the flame model, it casts
shadows
of the earliest forms of the Hebrew alphabet.
(Similar models cast shadows of the Arabic and Greek
alphabets as well)

These are artistic renderings of the actual shadows of
the vortex form.
The shapes of the letters mirror those found on the earliest
known Torah texts.

In essence,
the first verse of Genesis generates a three dimensional model
that casts
shadows of the letters in which the text is written -
a truly self-referential
phenomenon.
The relationship between the vortex and tetrahedron, as
presented in the Meru models,
is representative of a geometry that defines many
living systems. It is important to note
that these models are not static. They are four
dimensional snapshots of ongoing processes
and movement. This geometry can be mapped onto
the life-cycle of a tree, an apple,
the heart muscle, a string of DNA, and many other living
systems.

In rediscovering models that are universal in nature,
we begin to search for applications of these ideas in
our lives.
These models are gardening tools. They can be used
to cultivate our
self-reflective nature by demonstrating the
relationship between singularity and wholeness.
But they are still only models.
Where is the human embodiment that manifests this
relationship?
