Its there but not seen... The triangle

The triangle...

What is it, what are its functions, where does one see it and how does it concern us the inhabitants of earth. These are some of the questions that came to my mind whenever I thought about this topic, the triangle...

To answer the first question, the triangle is just a simple shape but, as simple as it may look, this shape is actually very complex in many ways. This shape plays a very significant role in our daily lives. From being just on of the basic shapes many learned about in pre-primary. This mysterious shape that some of us knew so little about really has a lot to say. This shape holds elements of philosophy, it also brings forth a sense of direction and purpose, and it also presents personalities and principles that we follow and base our lives upon.

All these things that were mentioned above drove me to being interested into knowing more about the triangle. 

In this blog, all the factors and areas where the triangle is seen and its different uses together with reason to why it is used and its purposes in certain areas will be discussed. From facts concerning the triangle to myths formed around it.

It is there but not seen... The triangle.

finding the triangle

For starters, lets look at our environment. In our environment there are man made and natural structures that take up the form or shape of the triangle.

The triangle can be seen in nature. A good example of natural strictures that have a similar form as the triangle is Mount Everest. Some parts of Mount Everest especially the tip have the similar form of a triangle. Other examples are triangular rock. Some rocks take up the form of a triangle.

Now looking at man made structures.

lets look at some well known structures.

The Eiffel tower has a form that is similar to the pyramid. It has a square base and four pillars that provide it with balance and they narrow up together at the tip of the tower. looking at the eifel tower in consideration to the topic, one could say that the eiffel tower is a structure that has not only taken up a triangular form and shape but it is also composed from many smaller triangular parts. The same can be said about the London eye which is also know as the Millennium Wheel. 

The London Eye is a giant ferris wheel and the entire structure is 135 tall and has a diameter of 120 metres. In 19990, the London eye was erected and was seen as the worlds tallest ferris wheel. Unlike the Eiffel tower, the London eye is a circular frame and not a triangular one, but it shares something common with the construction of the Eiffel tower. Both structures are constructed from triangular figures. the London Eye has steel like cables which create triangular shapes all around inside the wheels framework. These cable can be identified as spoke cable. `Spokes cables refer to the same cable or wires we seen on a bicycles wheel, but the spokes used in the London Eye are much stronger and consist out of stronger and tougher materials. All in all, these spokes represent the presence of the triangle. the image bellow clearly show all the different fundamental components that make the London what it is.

another famous structure that possesses the same characteristics concerning the triangle would be the Petronas Twin tower. for now, the building itself is not so important. Whats important is whats between the tow towers. whats important about this build its the bridge that connects the two buildings. Between the two towers, we can see a bridge. From the bridge, the same principles seen in the previous structure, the London Eye are present. The Bridge includes four spoke cables. These cables are also representatives of the triangle  in this building. Looking at the front view of this structure, trying to count how many triangles are here would be triangle  fairly easy. from the front, one would only see 3 triangles. the image bellow illustrates this clearly.

Through all that has been mentioned above , we learn that the triangle is the most prominent shape in most of the structures we have seen, but why is it there? Is it just a simple design? Are all these triangles necessary, and do they have any purpose?





what would happen if you were to replace the triangles used in these famous structures with a square or maybe a circle?

John Fuchs states that triangles are everywhere and that any structure that needs a strong and rigid construction would depend on triangles to achieve this goal of strength and steadiness. According to the research done by John Fuchs the triangle is the only two dimensional polygon that if constructed rigid members with hinged conners is absolutely fixed in shape up to the comprehensive and tensile limits of its members with that a square for example would easily be mis-shaped into a parallelogram (Fuchs 2012 ).

To show that really the triangle is a vital element that is needed to make structures  fixed and strong, an experiment was done as to show how the strength of the triangle can be seen. this test was done by an educational group that go by the name of Maths in the city. 
According to Professor Marcus Du process from the EPSRC ( ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE COUNCIL) the triangle is the most stable shape  for it is used in many areas including children's playgrounds. Professor Marcus du Sautoy conducted research about the strength of the triangle in a children's playground and his findings showed that the playgrounds facilities such as swings or even hammocks had triangular based structures. His research showed that these triangular structures were not ornamental, but were functional.these triangular structures served as elements of strength. they made these children's facilities to be strong and fixed and safe enough to be used by children (maths in the city 2013).

These playground facilities are designed in such a way that they are able to withstand not only their own weight, but also withstand as much external force as possible. (maths in the city 2013)."According to Newtons second law of motion, F=ma. Where F is the net force, m is the mass and a refers to acceleration. To ensure that the swing does not fall off, the net force in a vertical direction must be zero."
Professor Marcus states that this can be achieved through the aid of a triangular structure for it is not easily deformed. It is light weight and due to less materials being used for it has only three sides. 

this diagram shows how a triangulated structure withstand force.

The same principle of using the triangle is carried out through to other areas such as construction, cars and heavy duty machines.  

Theories based on the triangle

Pascal's

Pascal's triangle is named after the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-62), who wrote aTreatise on the Arithmetical Triangle describing it. But Pascal was not the first to draw out this triangle or to notice its amazing properties!

Long before Pascal, 10th century Indian mathematicians described this array of numbers as useful for representing the number of combinations of short and long sounds in poetic meters. The triangle also appears in the writings of Omar Khayyam, the great eleventh-century astronomer, poet, philosopher, and mathematician, who lived in what is modern-day Iran.

The Chinese mathematician Chu Shih Chieh depicted the triangle and indicated its use in providing coefficients for the binomial expansion of in his 1303 treatise The Precious Mirror of the Four Elements. Below is a reproduction of the triangle from Chu Shih Chieh, in Chinese numerals (Pascal's triangle 2001)

"Pascal's work on the triangle stemmed from the popularity of gambling. A French nobleman had approached him with a question about gambling with dice. Pascal shared the question with another famous mathematician, Fermat, and Pascal'sArithmetical Triangle was the result.
Using Pascal's triangle, one can in fact find the number of ways of choosing k items from a set of n items simply by looking at the kth entry on the nth row of the triangle. So, to see how many different trios you could form using the 45 members of your jazz band, you would look at the 3nd entry on the 45th row. (The "1" at the top of the triangle is considered the "0"th row, and the first entry on each row is labeled the "0"th entry on the row.)
Since Pascal's time, mathematicians have found numerous patterns in Pascal's triangle. Some of the most interesting patterns are obtained by colouring in multiples of various numbers in Pascal's triangle; the results form endlessly repeating patterns called fractals" (Pascal's triangle 2001).

Among the most controversial aspects of Christian theology, through most of its his history, is the Trinity doctrine. In the simplest possible terms, this is the assertion that:

1. The Father (YHWH of the Old Testament), the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost, or the Paraclete) comprise the Godhead, or God, in His entirety

1. Each of these divine Persons, individually, is at the same time also fully God in His/Its own right, nevertheless

1. Each of these divine Persons is also fully distinct, having functions or duties totally unique to Him/It

1. Yet, even though they function separately, and are independent beings, they are nevertheless united in purpose and action, and united as one God

"The problem with the Trinity doctrine, then, is that on its face, it makes little sense. While it has long been accepted as a “mystery,” an aspect of God which is beyond human understanding, this was not always the case. If it had been, then it would not have been so controversial. In fact, had it been developed on its own, no controversy would have erupted at all" (Trinitarian Truth 2015).

The Trinity in Early Theory

“Trinity” is the modern English translation of the Greek τριας (trias), of which trinitas was the usual Latin translation. It might also be translated into English as “triad.” As part of its defence of this doctrine, the Catholic Encyclopedia points out that in the late 2nd century, Theophilus of Antioch mentioned a trias of θεος(theos, “God”), λογος (logos, “Word”), and σοφια (sofia, “Wisdom”).
Practical Origins of the Trinity (Trinitarian Truth 2015).


The Trinity doctrine did not come into existence as its own piece of theology. Rather, it evolved over time as the orthodox (or Alexandrine) Christian response to the Samosatene/Arian doctrine. In order to condemn Arius and the Gnostics as well, the Council of Nicaea determined that

 Christ and God were separate yet unified, each fully God. This was merely a statement of belief, not by itself a theological concept.

1. Christ was with God in the beginning and was God (Jn 1:1)

1. Christ and God the Father are unified (Jn 10:30)

1. New Christians are to be baptised in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mt 28:19)

The Holy Spirit was not well-understood in early Christianity, however, the “ unforgivable-sin” injunction against blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Mt 12:31-32) lent great weight to the importance of the third Person of the Godhead. This was used to support the Holy Spirit’s divinity, in the face of those who believed otherwise (especially the Macedonians).
First Council of Constantinople (381)
Although Athanasius and many of his allies had been deposed at the time, I Constantinople turned out to be everything they could have hoped for. The creed of Nicaea, in which Father and Son were united in divinity yet individually fully divine, was extended to include the Holy Spirit.
Later Trinity
Although this goes a bit beyond early Christianity, so I won’t go into great detail, it’s worth noting that the Trinity was an idea with which Christian thinkers grappled for many centuries (and they’re still doing so, even now). It’s difficult to understand or reconcile what amounts to the expression 3=1=3. Medieval scholastics tried but failed, ultimately deciding that only faith could resolve it for any given believer.
What Is the Trinity?
Now that I’ve described the history behind the Trinity doctrine, it’d be best to wrap this up by stating what the Trinity doctrine says. Keep in mind that this doctrine is stated in different words by different Christian denominations, and this may or may not appear to agree with your denomination’s doctrine. It’s merely a general outline of what the Trinity says.

1. The three Persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — together make up the Godhead, or simply, God.

1. Each of the three Persons is, individually and simultaneously, fully God.

1. The Trinity does not claim that God is a collective divine Being, with each of the three Persons being a subset thereof; rather, each is wholly God, in addition to being a component of God along with the other two Persons.

This doctrine has been a stumbling block for Christians (and others!) since its inception. Its irrationality and illogic have led to various other ways of attempting to comprehend the Godhead, which — while they might make slightly more sense (e.g. the various forms of Modalism that have popped up over the centuries) — fall outside the strict definition of the Trinity and therefore are called non-Trinitarian. Christian believers and sects that have held such views ... which, really, are modifications of the Trinity rather than outright rejections of it ... have been subject to derision and even persecution by more orthodox Christians.

Pythagoras of Samos was a well-known mathematician, scientist and a religious teacher. He was born in Samos and is often hailed as the first great mathematician. Pythagoras is remembered today for his famous theorem in geometry, the ‘Pythagoras Theorem’. (the famous people of society for recognition of famous people 2015).Pythagoras studied properties of numbers and classified them as even numbers, odd numbers, triangular numbers and perfect numbers etc. The ‘Pythagoras theorem’ is one of the earliest theorems in geometry, which states that in right-angle triangles, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square the other two sides. This theorem was already proposed during the reign of the Babylonian King Hammurabi, but Pythagoras applied it to mathematics and science and refined the concept. Pythagoras also asserted that dynamics of the structure of the universe lies on the interaction of the contraries or the opposites, such as, light and darkness, limited and unlimited, square and oblong, straight and crooked, right and left, singularity and plurality, male and female, motionless and movement and good and bad (the famous people of society for recognition of famous people 2015).

However, the association of an eye with the concept of Divine Providence did not emerge until well into the Christian era, in Renaissance European iconography, where it was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts.Many religions have used the image of an eye in their religious symbolism. One of the earliest known examples (from Egyptian mythology) is the Eye of Horus.

Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts.

In 1782, the Eye of Providence was adopted as part of the symbolism on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. It was first suggested as an element of the Great Seal by the first of three design committees in 1776 and is thought to be the suggestion of the artistic consultant, Pierre Eugene du Scimitar.^[5]

In his original proposal to the committee, Du Similtere placed the Eye over shields symbolising each of the original thirteen states of the Union. On the version of the seal that was eventually approved, the Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid of thirteen steps (again symbolising the original States, but incorporating the nation's potential for future growth). The symbolism is explained by the motto that appears above the Eye: Annuit Coeptis, meaning "He [God] approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings".Perhaps due to its use in the design of the Great Seal, the Eye has made its way into other American seals and logos, for example: the Seal of Colorado and DARPA's Information Awareness Office. Today, the Eye of Providence is often associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb'sFreemasons Monitor. Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason's thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle (The eye as a Christian symbol 2015).

Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States. This was dramatised in the 2004 Disney film National Treasure. However, common Masonic use of the Eye dates to 14 years after the creation of the Great Seal. Furthermore, among the members of the various design committees for the Great Seal, only Benjamin Franklin was a Mason (and his ideas for the seal were not adopted). Indeed, many Masonic organisations have explicitly denied any connection to the creation of the Seal (The eye as a Christian symbol 2015).

Early Christian  history

The underlying basis for what eventually became the Trinity concept did exist as a tentative or nebulous idea in the heads of some early Christian writers, but was never laid out specifically until the middle of the 4th century. This was the practical start of the Trinity doctrine. I will, however, begin with the theoretical origins of the Trinity, then move on to its practical origins (i.e. when it became a part of Christianity’s central theology).
Really, though, even this is not novel; the gospels speak of the Father, Christ, and Paraclete, and these were commonly interpreted as God, Word, and Wisdom. In fact, more mystical versions of Christianity, especially some Gnostic sects, had cosmologies in which there was an Ineffable Divine, from whom Christ and Wisdom both emanated (along with many other emanations, too).

Other Church Fathers refer to the “divine triad,” if you will. Among the most important of these was Tertullian, who — because he wrote in Latin — provided the origin of the English word "trinity" (i.e. his Latintrinitas). Given the scriptures they had before them, the Church Fathers hardly could have failed to do so. Even so, they didn’t develop this into a doctrinal or theological point; it appears they saw no need for any such thing, that the mentions of the three divine Persons in scripture were self-sufficient.
What Nicaea left out, of course, was the Holy Spirit. The controversy leading up to that Council was, rather specifically, the nature of Christ and his relationship to God the Father. The Holy Spirit’s nature was not addressed; literally, then, Nicaea could not have produced a “Trinity”; at best, it produced only a “duality.”
Developing the theology needed to back up this belief, fell to a number of Church leaders, perhaps the most important being Athanasius of Alexandria (and, while he lived, Athanasius’ mentor, Patriarch Alexander). As a way of bolstering their theology, they took up the matter of the Holy Spirit’s divinity, as well. The essential foundation of this doctrine was threefold:

One complication that early Trinitarians faced, was that their doctrine was so irrational, alien, and illogical, that the very tool needed in order to explain it, e.g. language, was quite simply not up to the task of describing it. They were forced to coin new words, such as ‘ομοουσιος (homoousios), meaning "one substance." This, of course, didn't help much, since words like homoousios didn‘t mean very much to the reader/listener, unless s/he already had some inkling of what the Trinity was supposed to be. One could understand what the Three Persons of the Godhead having "one substance" meant, only if one already had some idea that they were somehow joined or linked as one ... in which case, being told they had "one substance" no longer was very informative.
The various points of evidence came from the apostolic gospels (mentioned above) only gave the Trinity greater apparent authority — at least, in the eyes of those who supported it. Opponents used other scriptures (e.g. “the Father is greater than I,” Jn 14:28) to attack it, and they considered their evidence just as authoritative.
A point which cannot be missed here is that, in the early 4th century when the Trinity was first thought out, it was not the intended goal. Instead, the goal was to support a christology (in Athanasius’ case, the orthodox or Alexandrine; in the Arians’ case, the Samosatene/Arian doctrine). Attempting to understand the nature of God was actually secondary to the real effort, which was to bash one's theological opponents.(Early Christian History menu.2015)

Athanasius had a turbulent career, wrestling not only with his own see of Alexandria (which, for several generations after Nicaea, remained home to many Arians, who fought with him and even expelled him a couple of times), but with Christian thinkers in other regions who either opposed him, or else supported his orthodoxy but wished to go about it differently. The idea of a mysterious, inexplicable divine Trinity wasn’t without its critics, in the 4th century.

Athanasius ultimately forced his doctrine on his diocese and evangelised for it elsewhere. At the First Council of Constantinople in 381, the matter was taken up. Even prior to the invocation of the Council, Athanasius intimidated many of the bishops present; their adoption of the Trinity as one of that council’s canons might well be attributed to that.
This Council enacted a creed which is, more or less, what is now known as the Nicene Creed. Properly speaking, it’s not the “Nicene” creed at all, and rather should be called the Constantinopolitan Creed. But it was called the New Nicene creed at the time, as a way of affirming all that had been done at Nicaea.(Early Christian History menu.2015)
This has, ultimately, ended up being the position of most of Christendom: That the Trinity is true, even thoughit’s incomprehensible; faith is the only tool one can use to accept it.
That the Trinity doctrine was constructed not out of a desire to understand God, but rather as part of a a vendetta against heresies (i.e. first Arianism, then Macedonianism), is what makes it as nonsensical as it seems. It was not designed as a rational theology and was never intended to be one; it was designed specifically, and only, to refute other theologies and to exclude those who adhered to them. (Early Christian History menu.2015)

Fiction and Mythology

The Bermuda triangle

Also know as the “Devil’s Triangle” is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble (Bermuda triangle 2014)

Myths and fiction stories were formulated about the mysterious disappearances that had happened in the bermuda triangle.

The modern Bermuda Triangle legend didn’t get started until 1950 when an article written by Edward Van Winkle Jones was published by the Associated Press. Jones reported several incidences of disappearing ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle, including five US Navy torpedo bombers that vanished on December 5, 1945, and the commercial airliners “Star Tiger” and “Star Ariel” which disappeared on January 30, 1948 and January 17, 1949 respectively. All told, about 135 individuals were unaccounted for, and they all went missing around the Bermuda Triangle. As Jones said, “they were swallowed without a trace.”

"It was a 1955 book, The Case for the UFO, by M. K. Jessup that started pointing fingers at alien life forms. After all, no bodies or wreckage had yet been discovered. By 1964, Vincent H. Gaddis—who coined the term “Bermuda Triangle”—wrote an article saying over 1000 lives had been claimed by the area. He also agreed that it was a “pattern of strange events.” The Bermuda Triangle obsession hit its peak in the early 1970s with the publication of several paperback books about the topic, including the bestseller by Charles Berlitz, The Bermuda Triangle" (Bermuda triangle 2014).

Psychology

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs

Maslow's theory is about building or constructing ones life. instead of building a car, house or a bridge, the theory serves as a guide line towards building life. Maslow's theory entails that we should start by fulfilling basic needs and after doing so, we can then move on to the next. being on the top is everyones goal, but to get there we have to start from the bottom Steinberg(2007)

The love triangle

A love triangle can mean two things. it can refer to the process of falling in love with some one or being stuck between choosing which guy or girl to be with. in simple terms, loving two people at the same time or two people loving one.

"According to this theory, love is made up of three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Sternberg identifies eight types of love, which can be described as different combinations of these three elements. For example, non-love, the relationship that you have with an acquaintance, is characterised by the complete absence of intimacy, passion, and commitment. The other seven types of love have at least one component. Let's go over the characteristics of each type"(

Jokes about the triangle

This joke basically says that circle is pointless.

Food

How would you like your slice of pizza. Square or triangle?

Triangles are everywhere, even in food. Normally, when you cut a slice of cake , you would slice it in  triangular shape, the same applies to pizza. Most people prefer to cut their bread in a triangular form. This would be because it  is easy and fast to prepare rather than cutting your bread into square or circular portions. the same applies to pizza and cake.

Amrei Hofstätter

The work of Berlin-based graphic designer Amrei Hofstätter drew our attention right away. We don’t know if it is due to her usage of a specific, bright yet soft colour palette or the recurring mystical creatures, but we can’t wait to see more of her work. After having a talk with her, we must admit we got even more intrigued by her art.

Breno Bitencourt 

  

Breno Bitencourt is a Brazilian designer who lives in Bauru and works with client globally.

He works primarily as a logo designer, but likes to experiment in his personal work across low-poly illustrations, 3D artworks, glitch art and more.

I choses to follow Breno Bitencourt. Low poly is a technique that i like and i used it as a cd cover.

Art works that i produced

Through referencing I did on the artist that I chose, I created the art work bellow.

My font or type Face

I also created a font based on the topic "triangles". Through the font i wanted to show how a triangle can divert from being a mechanical object or an object in nature to an artistic element.

My triangle manifesto

Through the research I conducted about the triangle, I was able to formulate my own set of principles and i added in my designed manifesto.

The triangle Manifesto.

The triangle... It is used to build and it is the shape of strength. I believe that as a man, i need principles to base my life upon. I believe I need 3 to make one. My mind, heart and soul. Three, trinity forms me. Three is enough to guide. With no guidance, function dies and control becomes a myth. To me, the triangle means more. It is my foundation and my support structure. As a strut, it is to me as an element of strength.

Sharp

Three sided

Three sharp points

Straight to the point

Hold nothing but three simple principles

Listen, Accept and Apply

In the, I Believe, hope and I trust

Work hard, be creative and design

Music

Triangles are not usually added in songs, but this song has the element of the triangle. In this song, the triangle is based upon the love triangle theory. As i said earlier, the love triangle refers to a situation where two people happen to be in love with the same person. The title of the song clearly states the the message of the song, "Same Girl" by R kelly and Usher.
