From Alphabet to the Structure of the Universe:«the Universe Made from Letters» and the Ancient Chinese «Book ofChanges» I Ching

In this article I have studied the cultural heritage of Iran and China, and comparatively analyzed two artifactswith identical geometric pattern: a ceramic dish of Daxi culture (Ancient China, the beginning of the 4thmillennium B.C.) and Persian carpet for prayer (Iran, 16th century). In spite of temporal distance which separatesthese artifacts, the correspondence between geometric patterns gives the possibility to consider this pattern as auniversal spatial structure. The pattern has a mathematical analogue in the form of a matrix with symmetricaldistribution of prime numbers. There are reasons to suppose that this pattern represents spatial symmetry,mentioned in the Ancient Chinese Book of Changes I Ching (易經), under the distortion of which the orderturns into chaos. In connection with many cases of destruction of archaeological artifacts on the territory ofmilitary conflicts, it is necessary to raise questions: why is such «disappearance» of artifacts the form ofcompetitive struggle in the field of high technologies and why are the rewriting of history and spreadingmisinformation when the false is substituted for the true the main strategies of deception to prevent thepossibility of correct and objective evaluation of these technologies in future? In relation to the fact that not onlyobjects of culture but also people living on these territories are being destroyed and there is a need to restrain thedevelopment of technologies which use characteristics of physical space structure in accordance with UNConvention On the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental ModificationTechniques 1977
