Lo! and behold. 'Rock/Fire/Scissors/Paper/Rock/Fire/Scissors...'
represents Rook/Falcon/Bishop/Knight... So, the old selection game of
Rock, Scissors and Paper has unobserved element 'Fire' now (also Water,
Fire, Air, Earth). Moreover, math equation 'e to the (pi, i) equals minus
one' corresponds exactly and appropriately, in order, with 'e' as Rook
(base 10), pi as Bishop, i as Knight (for its different imaginary mode), and 'minus one' as Falcon (summation & resultant). In fact, wider numerical, scientific and mythological matches emerged about year 2000 eight years later:
Sun Sunday Gold Au Great Pyramid Falcon Electra(F)
Moon Monday Silver Ag Artemis' Temple Dove,Chicken Merope(P)
Mars Tu(martes) Iron Fe Colossus Rhodes Hawk Sterope(N)
Mercury Wednesday Hg Lighthouse Pharos Vulture Maia(B)
Jupiter Thursday Tin Sb Statue of Zeus Bird of Jove Taygete(K)
Venus Fri(viernes) Copper Cu Hanging Gardens Bird-Goddess Alcyone(Q)
Saturn Saturday Lead Pb Mausoleum Rook, Parrot, Calaeno(R)
[V] [X] [IX] or Raven
The last column lists the classical Pleiades, whose respective histories
and personalities correlate with the 7 pieces.
Then also exist the seven 'animals' in order: Falcon(F), Lamb(P),
Horse(N), Elephant(B), Lion or Scorpion(K), Totemic Hawk(Q), and
Serpent(R) out of Poem XV ''Piece Offering.''
