26 actually is G-d's number in Kabbala. (G-d's name Y-HVH has the the gematria (Jewish numerology) equivalent of 26 - an important number in kabbala and gematria.) I conclude therefore that the quarter-turn metric is the correct one! :)

Yeah, that's what I thought TFA would be about.

OK so this is totally off the wall.

Back in the late 80s, I recall an Apple video which claimed that all of the Hebrew characters are 2D projections of some 3D shape. And then [something about creation, the structure of reality, etc]. I also remember something about a lawsuit by some guy in California, claiming that the video producer had stolen his work.

I think that I even had a videotape. But it's all gone, or maybe packed in a box that I've lost track of. And it was so pre-Internet that there's no trace that I've managed to find. It was very trippy stuff.

Anyway, had to ask :)
