Explanation of the Food Diagram earrings
According to G. I. Gurdjieff and the Fourth Way, the human organism can assimilate 3 foods: edible ordinary food, air, and sense impressions. They are then transformed by the organism into finer substances. (See P. D. Ouspenky's "In Search of the Miraculous" for a description of the food diagram.) This structure was further clarified by Russell A. Smith in his book, "Gurdjieff: Cosmic Secrets", pgs.84-86. This model is a 3D depiction of that diagram, showing the possible ascending octaves of food , air , and impressions. The higher notes are those of higher frequency (in logarithmic scale, base 2), and notes of equal frequency are the same distance from the bottom. The diatonic notes of each octave are indicated as spheres along the spiraling octave. The 'descending' Do of one octave starts at the note La or Fa of another octave. La and Fa notes on adjacent octaves intersect. Note that the 'ascending Do' of the air octave is at the same frequency as the note Mi of the food octave, and that the 'ascending Do' of the impressions octave starts at the same frequency as the note So of the food octave. This is in general true of the 'assisting octaves' needed for octaves to ascend (see p. 75 of Cosmic Secrets; see thedogteachings.com for more information.)
