Ennead to make a Triple Ennead Rectangle (TER). The Ennead and Triple Ennead are
often discussed in the Pyramid Texts.
On the right side of the Tower is a smaller rectangle that is similar to the Triple Ennead
Rectangle, but rotated by 90 degrees. This vertical TER recapitulates the large horizontal
TER, but at a smaller scale between the Houses of Ra and Thoth.
If we add an even smaller horizontal TER above the small vertical Ennead on the right
side of the Tower (i.e., above the House of Ra), we make the vertical TER into a small
Senet Board. This little TER extends above and to the right of the tip of the Tower.
Then we add an even smaller vertical TER to the left of the small horizontal one
extending it into a third, even smaller, Senet Board. The successive TERs alternate
between horizontal and vertical. Each new TER is 1/9th the area of the previous TER.
Each new TER also combines with the previous TER to complete another Senet Board at
a smaller scale. Each smaller TER is 1/10th the area of the larger Senet Board that it
completes by extending the larger TER -- just like the first little vertical TER that we
found on the right side of the Tower completes the larger TER into a full Senet Board.
Thus the spiral of TERs and Senet Boards recapitulates all of its dimensions at different
scales.
The area of each smaller TER is 1/10th the area of the Senet Board it completes. The
area of each smaller TER is 1/9th the area of its larger TER partner. The sides of a TER
have a ratio of 3:1, and grow or diminish by 3x.
The diagonals also reduce or increase by the ratio of 3:1. The ratio of the length of each
larger Senet Board is 10 times the width of the next smaller Senet Board. Thus as the
Senet Board Spiral winds outward or inward, we see growth or shrinking by multiples of
10, multiples of 9, and multiples of 3, depending on how we look at the figure.
The diagonals form the spiral. The descending diagonal on the starting Ennead has a
length of 3×3.162 units if we count the starting Ennead as 9 units wide and its three rows
as 3 units high and represents the descent of a person into the physical world during his
lifetime -- from orgasmic conception to death and judgment. Following balanced
judgment Maat (Truth) and Thoth (Intelligence), a person returns to Source (Ra) in the
Higher Self.
