Gravity = Circle
A circle holds any two entities together as it keeps them apart; circle is integrated attraction and repulsion (you cannot have one without the other). Attraction-repulsion stem from the diametric-circumferential relationship in every circle (entity). Any-every two entities circle each other (as soon as they move). All entities, in relationship to any other entity, enjoy a temporary orbit, or a circular relationship. No orbit is permanent (circle moves toward an ellipse, and then back to a circle, and then eventually breaks free completely). The circle itself is what ties all relationships together (scientific, psychological, philosophical); the attraction-repulsion dynamic, or the circular relationship, is what we call 'gravity.' The solar system orbits are temporary as are all orbits: two entities in a temporary-permanent circular relationship. Gravity (the circle-line relationship) is found between ANY two entities.




Circular Substance

Philip Stewart's version of Mendeleev's chemical chart shows substance in a circle.
Only a circle can create a circle (circles in a circle).
New Year Yin and Yang
The white and/or black dichotomy in a yin/yang symbol is an illusion because white and black are different versions of each other (as are day and night). The circle is an unending, ubiquitous, constant, predictible, dependable, and certain, pair of pairs. (Image: http://www.ponddoc.com/WhatsUpDoc/FengShui/YinYan5.jpg)
The Wreath: Circular Symbol of Unity
The wreath is an ancient symbol celebrating the circle. The circle provides the only reliable understanding of time (same is also different; always, at least, two options).
The Storm as a Circle

Storms are circles. Energy and mass taking form and substance in time and space. Calm, storm; create, destroy; cold, hot; slow, fast; low, high; push, pull; air, water; up, down; out, in... pairs of pairs, causing, and caused by, a circle. (Image: http://hurricanes.noaa.gov/images/hurpic2.jpg )
Circle in Light
Color is a visual way of breaking up the circle. Every color is the same color (white or black) from a different perspective (time frame). This is a symbolic way to understand how an individual anything is connected to its whole; one circle, all circles, relative perspective.(Image: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/fell/images/COM3370/hw0W99/catanho.jpeg )
Circle in Sound
Arguments
Arguments begin with good intention. North sees south, south sees north, east sees west, west sees east; each view is a single perspective; none completely correct. Opposite views create, because they are created by, the circle. Based in, and on, the circle, all of us make the same observation errors and all of us argue (the circle expresses through us).

Bicycles and Circles
Pi connects one circle to another. Pi in our mind connects to pi in the wheels of the bicycle, to pi on the circle of where we are now, to where we want to go. The bicycle frees us to travel larger distances more quickly. The circle gives us the intelligence to do so.

Size and Speed
Large and small, fast and slow, mass and movement, the size and speed of circles can confuse us. Everything's revolving around everything. In all universes, independent of size and speed, all circles are the same; the particular rotation and-or revolution is temporary.

Global and/or Specific
When you see a picture of the earth, what do you see? Something global or specific? There is an invisible line between form and substance, global and specific; this is the diameter of an invisible, but very present, nonetheless, circle; form and substance are in an indestructible circle with each other, as are all pairs.

Movement and Stillness
The circumference of every circle is a set of points that represent two points. (Linear and circular distance to the diametric point). (Image: http://skepdic.com/graphics/earthmissing.jpg )
Rotation Revolution
Rotation and revolution are different versions of the same circular movement. A rotation is a revolution in some eventual framework, and vice versa. It is not the entity that is important but the form (circle) of the rotation, and/or revolution. It's the movement that is moving and not the entity at all. Eventually, substance and movement are the same. (Image: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/geo/courses/geo260/pics/seasons.gif)
Circular Cousins
Cousins (circles) are brothers and sisters who are the sons and daugthers of sons and daughters of the same parents. This is the circle multiplying (surviving). The circle can redraw its family (we can substitute cousins for brothers and sisters). Over time and large expanses of space, cousins (circles) connect every person to every other person. Eventually we notice all circles (cousins) are the same. (Image: http://pasture.ecn.purdue.edu/~tao/ssc/Graphics/Circles.gifc/Graphics/Circles.gif )
Moods
Hot and cold, wet and dry, angry and indifferent, sad and removed, happy and energized, involved and passionate, we're all moody; that is, we all move back and forth between, and among, the same moods (at different times, perhaps, but movement through the same moods, nonetheless). The names of the moods are unimportant. It's the movement that is constant. And, so, there it is, another circle.

Relationships
Yin and yang, cold and hot, no and yes, everyone knows the basic dynamics of a relationship. Every pair is the diameter of a circle; all relationships are circular; no escaping the opposite flow; we are more alike, than different; one of us yin-cold-no; the other yang-hot-yes; and then we change places. (Image: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/circles-in-ellipse.png )
Psychology, Mathematics and Philosophy
Relationships are circles- sets of equal and opposite reactions- physical, emotional, intellectual and intuitional- and our partners are our equal and opposite reaction. Neither of us can act or react without the other. What seems like two separate entities is connected by something we cannot see, but we can definitely feel and know. This is a puzzle until we understand the circle. (Image: http://www.voyagertravel.com.au/images/content_circles/circle_using_computer.gif )
Understandings
We have understandings deep inside-- some we can articulate and others we cannot. And this is a great design that we are, we understand, and we articulate. Twos and threes together. (We are, are not, understand, do not understand, articulate, cannot articulate.) (Image - from http://www.shadetreetechnology.com/images/circular_steps_lg.jpg
Protons Neutrons Electrons
All of us are protons, neutrons and electrons at some point in the day. First we shine, then we reflect, and then we think about why we did so. First we move, then we're still, and then we think about why we did so. Protons, neutrons and electrons, one, two and three, are different versions of the same circle: yin, yang, in-between.
Complications
Over time, too many circles create complexity and confusion. Too many circles can be the same as not enough. Simplicity is always hidden behind complexity, though, and the reverse of this is also true. The basic operation of circles (yes, no, maybe) provides all the information we need to escape the confusion. Everything else is superflous. No matter how many circles, it all reduces to one circle.
