I don't think it fits the definition of theory or science.

No, but it does fit the catagory of philosophy. Philosophy of magic to be precise. Traditionally geometry has been an integral part of magic. In sensory deprevation experiments the seventh and final stage is one of pure geometric figures parading endlessly. Thus their repeated influence on humanity from primitive to modern times has a scientific basis. If you want to know more, just try a little sensory deprevation. All you need is a dark and relatively quiet room for the next three days.

i like using patterns of sacred geometry in art, as mnemonic devices, along with symbolism stolen from every source i can find. i don't think it has any "higher significance" other than what it can be programmed to trigger in the mind (magick). anything can be used for that. but i happen to like circles. and as for sensory deprivation, i don't see a problem with the mind being able to produce geometric figures naturally. haven't tried that route, but other altered states have produced similar results for me.

Sacred geometry comes from before the term geometry was defined. Someday we may reconnect with its ancient meanings.
