About The Logo
Because the English language recognizes a subdivision of nature into time and space, two geometric figures are required in order to symbolize consciousness of the dimensions of time and space from the perspective of speakers of English, one figure to symbolize time and one figure to symbolize space.
The meanings of the words Yang and Yin, which are used herein to distinguish between time and space and between all polarities of nature, are described in detail in Section 2.2 of the book Evolution Through The Dimensions Of Time & Space. Other concepts used herein will also be more meaningful once the first few chapters of the book have been read.
As described in Section 5.4 of the book, the following 2 geometric figures can be constructed that symbolize consciousness of time and space from the perspective of speakers of English:
![]() |
![]() |
| Space | Time |
To convert this geometrical representation to a graphical representation, the geometric figures inside of these symbols will be filled with white or black. The triangles, which have 3 (Yang) sides, and the pentagons, which have 5 (Yang) sides, will be filled in with white (Yang), and the squares, which have 4 (Yin) sides, will be filled in with black (Yin).
The symbols then appear as follows:
![]() |
![]() |
| Space | Time |
Lastly, all of the lines from the geometric symbols, which define the area of each of the geometric figures, can be removed. Because the background here is not white, there is no need for a black circle around each of the symbols to clearly separate it from the rest of the page. Such a circle would be required if these symbols were to appear on white paper, for example.
The graphic symbols for time and space are as follows:
![]() |
![]() |
| Space | Time |
Some interesting relationships appear when we examine these symbols on the basis of the figures that can be seen within the symbols.
To properly look at (to see with the eyes is Yin) these figures which exist in and occupy space (Yin), we symbolically face the east (Yin), as east is the symbolic direction of orientation to space for speakers of English and related languages.
In the figure for time (Yang), the figures that occupy the north, south, east, and west corners, which pertain to space (Yin), are large (Yin), black (Yin), and unconnected, or subdivided (Yin). The figures that occupy the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest corners, which pertain to time (Yang), are small (Yang), white (Yang), and connected, or unified (Yang). Altogether, there are 1 (Yang) white (Yang) figure and 4 (Yin) black (Yin) figures, for a total of 5 (Yang) figures in this 5 (Yang) dimensional symbol for time (Yang).

The figure for space (Yin) appears to be subdivided into eight symmetrical sections. The four sections that occupy the north, south, east, and west corners, which pertain to space (Yin) are large (Yin), and the four sections that occupy the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest corners, which pertain to time (Yang), are small (Yang).

All figures in the sections that pertain to space (Yin) are of 3 (Yang) or 5 (Yang) sides, because in the figure for space (Yin), the Yin directions are Yang. Counting the figures outward from the center, the 1st (Yang) figure is white (Yang), the 2nd (Yin) figure is black (Yin), and the 3rd (Yang) figure is white (Yang). The 1st (Yang) of the white (Yang) figures is 1 (Yang) figure, and the 2nd (Yin) of the white (Yang) figures is a pair of 2 (Yin) figures. However, space is Yin, and we know from the geometric symbols above that the large white triangle and the black pentagon are actually each composed of 2 (Yin) symmetrical figures.
The figures in the sections that pertain to time (Yang) are of 3 (Yang) or 4 (Yin) sides; in other words they are subdivided, because in the symbol for space, where Yin is Yang, the Yang directions are Yin. Notice that the white (Yang) figures have 3 (Yang) sides, and the black (Yin) figures have 4 (Yin) sides. Counting the figures outward from the center, the 1st (Yin, because time is Yin when space is Yang) figure is black (Yin) and the 3rd (Yin) figure is black (Yin). The 2nd (Yang) figure is white (Yang). However, because 2nd is Yin, there are 2 (Yin) white figures.
The first images above are geometric representations of time and space. The other images are graphical representations of time and space. All of these symbols are symmetrical, appealing, and very beautiful.
For a deep understanding of the symbolism behind these geometric symbols, and for a comparison with the single geometric symbol that symbolizes the unification of time and space as recognized by speakers of Chinese, please read Section 5.4 in the book, which describes each stage in the construction of these figures.

The symbol for space (Yin) is beautiful to look at (Yin) with the eyes (Yin) of mankind (Yin). The subdivided (Yin) nature of space (Yin) ensures that the symbol has a more even distribution of black (Yin) with white (Yang), which are distributed symmetrically throughout the symbol.
The symbol for space has therefore been selected as the logo for this book and as the logo for the concept of 5 dimensional space-time. To make this symbol more suitable for use as a logo that symbolizes both space and time, 5 dimensional "space-time," the symbol for space is used at the size of the symbol for time.
