26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 4. Mathematical Nature

1517	The tektraktys (1+2+3+4=10) is the 'fount of ever-flowing nature' [Sext.Empiricus]
	Full Idea: The tektraktys (1+2+3+4=10) is the 'fount of ever-flowing nature', because nature is a harmony of three concords (4th,5th and octave), and these ratios (4:3, 3:2, and 2:1) are found in the tektraktys.
	From: Sextus Empiricus (Against the Professors (six books) [c.180], 7.95)
