East DC
The east side of the map is symmetrical around E Capitol Street (in black running east and west below).
As mentioned prviously, we know that Penn Ave. (purple line) runs from the WH (red) to the CB (purple) then it turns more to the south east (red line)
until it reaches the river. Maryland Ave (also a purple line, running SW from the CB) mirrors PA on both the left and right sides (red line) of the Capitol
axis. Moving the CB to the south would make the angles between the purple and red sets of lines, both 47 degrees. The two blue lines at the CB are
symmetrical and the two green lines are, but they are not symmetrical to each other.
Note how the red and blue crossing lines between the CB and Lincoln Square fall on squares that mark the N-S axis halfway between these two. The point
where Penn Avenue (red) contacts the river marks the same axis on the east side of the square. Note that the street indicated by the green line running
SE from LSq meets here too, and that the red and green lines running to the NW converge on the same axis.
The blue line running from the northwest through Lincoln Square is Mass Ave, which has a bend in it after it crosses N Capitol Street. The opposite diagonal
at the square is North Carolina Ave, which is symmetrical to Mass Ave. While moving the CB south would serve to straighted PA, moving E Capitol St and
Linc. Cr with it would make the bend in Mass Ave worse.
There are two ways to straighten both Penn and Mass Aves; one is to move the CB south and Linc. Sq to the north, while the other keeps them on the same
E-W axis line as the CB moves south and the square is moved further to the east. I will illustrate the second method graphically now.
First I cut the map in half and extend Penn and Mass Avenues straight and to the southeast.
Next I paste the right half onto the image after having aligned the CB in it's new position, where PA crosses the axis. Then I proceeded to widen the
eastern part of the map until Lincoln Square fell on the straightened Mass Ave.
This makes the scale of the east side of the map match that of the west side (which we showed was determined by the pentagrams points) and allows for the
completion of the rhombus grid onto the whole map. Note especially the regularity of the N-S axis lines (black).
A Double Cube
You will remember that it was pointed out earlier that Metatron's Cube maps to the dodecahedron with one circle being the front corner, six representing the
six faces that we can see and six circles representing faces that we can't see. What this means is that if we wanted to make a graphic image to would
literally map to the faces of a dodecahedron we would have to use a double cube.
Comparing the image below with one of a dodecahedron above, we can see that red circles represent faces on the front side while blue ones represent the
back side, while the yellow circles are the corners front and back. If you printed a copy of this and wrapped it around a 3D dodcahedron the yellow
circles would fall on opposite corners while the others would fall on pentagonal faces.
Of course in the map image the height was shortened to make 52 degree base angles and 23+ degree diagonals. As you can see, the CB falls on the straightened
PA and Lincoln Square on the straightened Mass Ave.
But, as we have shown, the map does not contain a full double cube, as the eastern half of the map was itself reduce in width 75 %, bringing it's aspect
ratio back to what it was in the beginning. The cubes in the map look like this.
This of course means that we should be able to map Metatron's Cube (un-shortened) directly onto the eastern part of the map. Remember that we know
that the top and bottom lines that make up the rectangle in the western part of the map are N Street in the north and East Capitol Street. The CB (purple)
is on E Cap at N Capitol, and LSq (blue) is at E Cap and 12th Street East. Another 'shared' corner of the rectangles in the two cube is where N St, NY Ave
and N Cap St intersect (red), north of the CB.
A N-S axis is suggested by squares where the Maryland crosses Mass Ave and where Penn crosses NCarolina Aves, between the CB and LSq at 5th Street East.
This halfens the distance between those two. The point where Penn Ave reaches the river suggests another axis, and that is added. Projecting the E-W axis
through the WH (which we know is at the center of the western cube) points to the location (in the east) where Maryland crosses 12th Street. Green dots
are added at the suspected locations of the circles for the Cube.
Overlaying Metatron's Cube looks like this.
