transcending the relative. At that moment the Tower disappears from within the Solar<br />
Disk and be<strong>com</strong>es tangent to it. Symbolically this represents the meditation in which the<br />
attention enters Samadhi and transcends the world of thought.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Horizon Towers as Two Mountains Framing the Solar Disk<br />
<strong>The</strong> glyph of the sun at the horizon (aakhet)<br />
reminded the Egyptions of the dawn and dusk meditation times.<br />
We can select any point on the semicircle of the sun's arc through the sky to erect our<br />
perpendicular obelisk gnomon that spiritually reaches up to touch that arc. When we<br />
draw chords from its tip to the two horizons, the two chords will always be orthogonal to<br />
each other. <strong>The</strong> two triangles they form with the horizon also will always be similar, and<br />
thus the ratios for similar triangles always hold.<br />
If we label the short hypotenuse A, the short diameter segment B, the obelisk C, the long<br />
diameter segment D, and the long hypotenuse E, then we discover that A/C = E/D or AD<br />
= CE. On the Senet Board example we set C = 1, so we get AD = E, which recapitulates<br />
the product of the ratios of Planck's reduced constant ħ (pronounced h-bar) and the speed<br />
of light. However, there are other ratios, such as B/C = C/D (i.e. BD = C 2 ). If we set C<br />
to be 1 and let it stand for the speed of light, then we have the Einstein-de Broglie<br />
Velocity Equation in which B represents a group velocity, C represents light speed, and D<br />
represents the phase velocity that corresponds to B. <strong>The</strong> group velocity (vg) is always<br />
less than or equal to light speed (c), and its corresponding phase velocity (vp) is always<br />
greater than or equal to light speed. <strong>The</strong> Velocity Equation: (vg) (vp) = c 2 is thus an<br />
example of a reciprocal relation.<br />
If we choose a value such as .618 for B, then D be<strong>com</strong>es 1.618 and we have the Golden<br />
Proportion. Of course we can set the Golden values for A, C, and E. If we let C = 1 and<br />
D = 2, then E be<strong>com</strong>es √5 and we have a Golden Triangle, and A be<strong>com</strong>es .5√5.<br />
It appears that the values we derive from the Senet Board are scale independent, since we<br />
find that analogs to light speed and Planck's constant occur at the same scale in the<br />
geometry of triangles inscribed in circles when held by the Senet Board grid.<br />
In our formula (ħ c) = (1.054e-34 J·s) (3e8 m/s) = 3.1623e-26 J·m we can convert the<br />
expression into units of space and time. Energy (J) is inverse velocity (according to<br />
Larson), so we discover from Larson's viewpoint that the product of Planck's constant<br />
and the speed of light is actually a very small quantum unit of time (t). Substituting into<br />
our similar triangle ratios, we discover that A is in units of t 2 /s, D is in units of s/t, E is in<br />
units of s, and therefore, C must be in units of energy (t/s). We find that B must be in<br />
terms of mass (t/s) 3 .
