ORIGINS OF GEOMETRY
Just as explained in
the origins of trigonometry, geometry also originated from the circle and sacred
geometry. As proof of this, the Gregorian Universal System and Units of
Measurement System (GUSUMS) illustrates various geometrical shapes and their
properties by deriving the fruit and the seed of life by joining the points in
which two or more circles intersect. The skeleton framework of the fruit of
life shows this.
The Circle
The shape of the fruit
of life, tree of life, and the seed of life is circular. Thus, the first
geometrical shape that originated from sacred geometry is the circle.

Semi-Circle
By drawing a segment
that joins opposite ends of circular sacred geometrical shapes, another shape
that could be formed was the semi-circle.

Hexagon
By joining the 6 intersections
that are present in all the circular sacred geometrical shapes, a perfect
regular hexagon can be created from the circle.

Rectangle
The image below shows a rectangle that was derived from sacred geometry.

Trapezium
The Gregorian Universal System and Units of Measurement system was also able to derive the trapezium from the circle.

3-Dimensional shapes
GUSUMS was also able to show that 3-dimensional shapes can also be depicted from the sacred geometrical shapes. The images below illustrate the sides that are visible from a 2-dimensional depiction.

Complex Geometrical
Shapes
Depending on the number
of circles, it was also possible to create complex geometrical shapes that
combined different geometrical shapes.
