The Pattern That Connects

The Architecture of Flow & Growth

“What pattern connects the crab to the lobster, and the orchid to the primrose and all four of them to me? And me to you?… The pattern which connects is a metapattern. It is a Pattern of patterns.”

—Gregory Bateson, ‘Mind and Nature’ (1979)

What's Mereon?

Mereon is the long-missing how—the bridge that finally lets you connect your who, what, why, when, and wherefore into coherent, authentic action. It reveals the natural sequence—the logic—that ‘InPowers’ you to feel, sense, and engage in critical thinking before you speak or act.

As the Logic of Love, Mereon opens pathways to ever-evolving self-awareness, enabling you to naturally grow with the Flow—Time— living authentically from your truest self. This isn't abstract philosophy—it's practical wisdom that transforms how you move from sensing a situation, through understanding its deeper patterns, to taking action that aligns with your authentic nature.

Living & LifeLike Systems

The moving vertices in the Mereon Matrix video above create arcing pathways. When you trace any single vertex from its starting point through its complete journey back to that same location, it generates five spherical Trefoil knots. Since 1994, our Principal Investigators have collaborated using rigorous scientific methods to explore, understand, and articulate the First Principles governing this unifying matrix.

To date, all hypotheses have been tested and found unfalsifiable.

The Inaudible Reveals the Invisible

A Scientific Breakthrough

In 2012, a breakthrough occurred in the research into the Mereon Matrix. It happened when the team was introduced to the CymaScope. This instrument made it possible to test the following hypothesis: That the frequency of 7.97 Hz, considered the 'priming' frequency of the Mereon Matrix, would generate a complex geometric system when used to vibrate a small vessel of water.

Remarkably, the hypothesis proved true. The precise frequency did indeed generate the predicted geometric pattern. What's particularly noteworthy is the extraordinary sensitivity of this phenomenon—if the frequency was altered by only 1/100th of a Hz in any direction, the observed patterning completely disappears, replaced by what was anticipated in the first place, small wave patterns.

Enjoy the video, knowing the best part comes at the end when we attempted to 'break' the pattern or at least cause chaos!

P.S. Seeing this video and discovering that the Mereon Priming Frequency is a match to the frequency scientists discovered resonating at Stonehenge, author, Andrew Collins, added the music, presenting this video at the end of a lecture he was giving. The choice of music was his celebration, and I’m still digging to unearth the original files!

Form. Information. Transformation.

“Survival is generated by the operation of seven functions that energy goes through in the process of transforming its form. The space in which energy and form can be seen to interact is concept space, not physical space. The Mereon Matrix presents Space as a dynamic structure of two embedded geospheres, their movement tracing a knotted Pattern that is theorised as Time.

This version of a dynamic spatial-temporal interaction is unique. While it is not yet known whether all its predictions are fulfilled, we do know the Mereon Matrix provides a fundamental framework that has mathematical consistency and makes physical sense.”

Simplicity & Complexity

Unity, Diversity & Connection

“Everything is connected. This brief animation showcases Sameer Zavery's brilliant translation of my original whiteboard and flip chart drawings—those first rough sketches of the Pattern with its unique non-alternating weave. His visual mastery transforms what required six painstaking hours for me to render on paper on February 14th, 1991, into a clear one-minute revelation.” Lynnclaire

Pushing play one more time, watching this video, ask yourself:

How might this visual breakthrough help you recognize the patterns in your own experiences, connecting them to attitudes, behaviors and consequences?

What in this visualization of forms transforming might actually help you weave connections, closing gaps between a physical experience, and a deep emotional response?

How might this let you open authenticity, loving yourself enough to live your life?

The Torus

A living system is open, self-organizing, and interacts with its environment, sustained by the Flow of information, energy and matter.

The Mereon Matrix is shown to define both living and lifelike systems, the First Principles connecting the forms that inform all functions and Flow.

The Flow of the torus—shown in the video to the right—defines one Mereon Knot. Again, the vertices of this complex system define five entangled tori in the context, the 120/180, and six in the core, the 144/300. All eleven Mereon Knots are 2/3 Trefoils, their non-alternating weave having two holes through the Torus.

Temporal Knots?

Existential Questioning

Omniscient, omnipresent, all powerful, eternal, immutable, invisible, inescapable, transcendent, and love are all words used to describe the ineffable, that which is often referred to as G-d or the Divine. Consider for a moment how they are all accurate descriptions of Time, and how our greatest human challenges are often related to timing.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." —Stephen Hawking

On page 33 of his 2001 book, "The Universe In A Nutshell", Stephen Hawking shows the image on the right. It suggested that an 'inflated' trefoil knot may be the structure of Time. In this wonderful book he explores the fundamental nature of time and space, offering his perspective on how they are intertwined. His pondering and insight into the nature of what we perceive to be reality is compelling.

Note: The challenge with the trefoil knot in Hawking’s illustration, the trefoil recognised by most as the simplest Celtic Knot, requires three holes through the torus, while the Mereon Trefoil only has two. This means the Mereon Trefoil simpler than the 3/2 trefoil shown here.

Fundamental Forms Informing All Forms, Function & Flow

A complex coupling of two previously unknown, dynamic polytopes generates two discrete clusters of knots, two arrays of what is understood to be the simplest expression of a trefoil knot. The boundary of the Mereon Matrix is aqueous, a dynamic polyhedron that at its minimum has 120-faces, and at its maximum opens to reveal 180 faces. This geometry defines five interacting Jitterbugs, a dynamic first understood by R. Buckminster Fuller, and its movement ties five Mereon trefoil knots.

The core of the system is also a dynamic, and defines an FCC lattice. At its minimum it has 144 faces, and it expands to reveal 300 faces as show to the right. The dynamic of this polytope defines six interacting Jitterbugs, tying six Mereon trefoil knots

Both polyhedron unite all fundamental forms, both the Platonic and Kepler solids. Our decades long investigation affirms that the interactive connection between these two polyhedra, the motion guided by the vertices of the geometry, define a complex array of 2/3 spherical trefoil knots. The core generates six knots, the boundary five. We are currently on task to animate the dynamic relationship between these two unique polyhedra. Stay tuned!

The Power of Perspective

The dynamics of this geometric system is complex. As the boundary 'inhales', the core 'exhales,' 'breathing' a bolus of energy into the boundary, lifting and stabilising the system. As the core generates energy into this geo-bubble, the energy arcs, appearing as a rainbow.

Like the rainbow we see in the sky as the light breaks through on a rainy day, this Pattern is real, true even though the Knot is not a 'thing'. The images below are identical, differences you see simply a matter of perspective.

With this in mind, ask yourself, what does the expression "Speaking truth to power" even mean?

Effectively sharing what’s true for you with power

is communicating your current perspective.

Do not confuse it with ‘The Truth’.

Ancient Wisdom. Modern Science.

Stonehenge: A Sonic Echo of the Universe

In July 2024, author and researcher, Andrew Collins became aware of the Mereon Matrix and the new knowledge about how the Priming Frequency generates the system. Looking at the output perspective, he quickly recognised a powerful connection between Mereon and the world famous ancient site of Stonehenge. The dodecahedron.

The Mereon Matrix connects modern science and ancient wisdom, generating a Pattern that forms a seamless link between natural and social sciences.

In 2003, cosmologists in France and the US suggested that space could shaped like a dodecahedron. They claim that a universe with the same shape as the twelve-sided polygon can explain measurements of the cosmic microwave background – the radiation left over from the big bang – that spaces with more mundane shapes cannot

The cymatic video makes it clear that the boundary of the Mereon Matrix, a 120 faced polyhedron expands to 180 faced polyhedron matches the 120-cell Schlegel wireframe diagram. This can be thought of as the 4-dimensional analog of the dodecahedron, a dodecahedron made with 12 pentagons, 3 around each vertex, or as the dodecaplex, constructed from 120 dodecahedra, with 3 around each edge.
