On the other hand, it one were to say that to any man human behaviour had the appearance of infinite variety within this finite Universe solely because the scope – the range – of that variety is outside the quantitative range of his understanding, it is not all that easy to explain – as one must – how any one man can, within that and at the same time, have and apply a sufficient range of understanding to produce in his audience the parallel illusion of an infinite variety of human 'behaviour' within his own creative work. Since at least in Shakespeare's case no one has so far as I know ever realistically claimed completely to have 'got to the bottom of' even one of his plays, I am not really satisfied by any suggestion that a simply superior understanding of people, perhaps aided by a computer-like 'unconscious' mind, could have achieved these results. And 'great' music is often not 'about human behaviour' at all: it may be 'about' ideas, or it may be about nothing but itself: self without end, so far as out potential understanding is concerned, it appears. Nor is there any particular evidence that the creators of works of greatness showed in their daily life any superior understanding of human behaviour: in fact, rather the reverse, in some cases. Their true greatness generally lay in their creation: the rest was simply a reflection of that greatness, from those who appreciated it, back to them.

The significance of the [Trililithon]Standing Stones – Π - is not only e.g.

(1) A door

(2) A frame (e.g. limits)

(3) Infinite Number (π)

but also

(4) the [4] themselves – the forces represented – 4, but in 2 different (but related) pairs:

2 pillars; and 2 'faces' or 'entries'/'exits'/'directions' which are in fact one.

(5) Gemini – the Twins – +M & +K – II.
