once pristine

a threefold arboreal metaphor : i) overtone: the music of the spheres, a tree of sounds emanating from a fundamental; this pythagorean meta map depicts the ptolomaic system of the sphere, requiring the imaginative collapse of theta, a leap of acceptance of unscientific knowledge, i.e., a hidden aspect [lacuna] of physics, meta da physika : ii) option: the tree of choice (decision tree), providing the real time experiment to quantify a metaphor involving the expounded colloquial truth of time's equivalence to money, the nodes of the decision tree representing alternate future choices of the path of the underlying, which are statistically (using t (theta), volatility, and r (the time value of money)) discounted to a single present value (the elimination of theta) : iii) yggdrasil: the tree of life which links all lacunae by an elusive thread, beginning with the evidently primal utterance ('ask') and spreading isomorphically to all points (embla, alba, elves & alders (all manner of woodland (selva oscura, sacred grove) metaphor (also consider 'mori', the japanese for forest, another phonetic isomorphism of rosa, roma, rota)) : the old celtic name for virgil, 'pheryllt' is etymologically related to the greek 'pherein' -to carry (also the 'phor' of metaphor) and if that is in turn related to von list's 'carry' which is the 'horse' of 'drasill' so that the ancient celtic name for virgil (read by cerridwen) is encoded in the name yggdrasil by an indo european or celtic connection : jung: 'trees in particular were mysterious, and seemed to me direct embodiments of the incomprehensible meaning of life.'
