Abstract
The holy mountain—reconstructed from Platonic, Vedic, Hebraic and Babylonian sources—is a pattern of 166 ‘pebble’ counters which provide an overview of an ancient science of number and tone. Since the counters are in geometric (i.e. logarithmic) arrays, the holy mountain corresponds in several ways with our new holographic model of the mind as proposed by Pribram and others. The arrays pursue integers to the limit of interest to harmonic cosmologists, that is, to the point where cyclic implications within the octave 1:2 converge on its mysterious centre of symmetry 2 . This first confrontation with the irrational, probably not later than the third millenium BC, produced our oldest inherited ‘systems theory’ in the form of religious mythologies. Resonances between ancient and modern models are not only intrinsically interesting but also illuminate enduring problems in the use and abuse of models.
