Abstract
There is an impressive similarity evident in the knowledge acquired by the great Ancient Civilizations. In Athens, Plato found the Dimensional Solids and Euclid established the Five Regular Polyhedra; while towards Cathay, probably Zou Yan (c. 350 B.C., as Euclid) had already considered the “Five Makers of the Universe” in Chinese Medicine.
Regarding quoted Chinese hypothesis of Five Elements- that may be permanently generated and controlled by Creative and Destructive Cycles - it has the expectation that similar events or states allow for predictions that consistently derived in similar sequences.
Such “re-coupling cycles” provide knowledge with an everlasting multidimensional renewal that enables a “self-regulated” process of optimization, similar to quality management cycles. Chinese sages may have supported this upon a “virtuous circle” to affirm or reject the results they obtained from their experiences.
In fact, both Oriental and Western medicines respond to a original relationship with the most ancient formal science: Geometry, founding mathematical reasons to frame such knowledge within a precise context. To some extent, Euclidean propositions supported its principles derived from said process of inter-transformation which is, ultimately, what sets into motion the coming and going of things thus predicting the future thanks to the guidelines of such change.
Keywords: Five Regular Polyhedra; Five Elements; Re-Coupling Cycles; Bibliographical Review
