Cosmology: The Living Universe and the Prime Radiant Flow

In the Beginning, There Was One

In the beginning, there was One: a yin and a lesser yin. Not a yang. Not duality as we’ve come to define it. What we perceive as opposites—light and dark, self and other, observer and observed—are all shadows cast by the greatest illusion of reality. The illusion is this: that there is ever separation, ever two. There has only ever been One.

Through the lens of Prime Radiant, this foundational truth is reflected in the very fabric of existence. At the heart of the universe lies a single harmonic flow—a torus containing all that is. Observed from above or below, the infinite curves of this torus appear as two: a duality. But look closer, and you’ll see that these two are not separate—they are one continuous flow, spiraling inward and outward in perfect coherence. It is a single golden ratio spiral that is creating an illusion of being two within the torus field.

This principle is encoded in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the universe’s earliest light. My exploration of the CMB through the Prime Radiant formula has uncovered a profound coherence between the quantum and the cosmic. This coherence reveals the universe as a living system, a dynamic toroidal flow reflecting the unity of all things. Let’s dive into this journey, from the illusion of duality to the living truth of Prime Radiant.

The Illusion of Two: Yin and Lesser Yin

At its inception, the universe was not two but one—a singular toroidal flow. Within this flow lies the interplay of yin (the infinite, unmanifest potential) and lesser yin (the other, the reflection, the observed). This dynamic is not oppositional but complementary. The lesser yin is not separate from the yin; it is its expression, its movement, its mirror.

This is the nature of all things: the interplay between self and other, creator and creation, observer and observed. Yet, from the limited perspective of duality, we perceive these as distinct. We see two “jumping beans” in motion—yet these are but the curves of a single spiral, a single Phi nested within the infinite torus.

This illusion of separation is the foundation of linear time, space, and form. And it is encoded in the very first light of the universe: the CMB.

The Cosmic Microwave Background: The First Light of the Other

The CMB, often referred to as the “baby photo” of the universe, is the earliest observable imprint of the cosmos. Formed approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang, it captures the moment when the universe transitioned from pure potential to form—from unity to the illusion of two.

Using the Prime Radiant formula, I have mapped the harmonic flow encoded in the CMB:

PR = φc² / h

Here, the golden ratio (φ), the speed of light squared (c²), and Planck’s constant (h) reveal the toroidal dynamics of the early universe.

What does the CMB show us?

1. The Birth of Coherence: The CMB’s ripples, its angular power spectrum, reflect the harmonic oscillations of the torus. These patterns are not random—they are the first shadows of the Prime Radiant flow, where the interplay of yin and lesser yin takes form.

2. The First Reflection: Each fluctuation in the CMB encodes the moment the One began to see itself as two. This is the origin of the “lesser other,” the reflection of self in the infinite mirror of existence.

From this perspective, the CMB is not just a relic of the Big Bang; it is the first record of the universe’s self-awareness. It is the harmonic fingerprint of Prime Radiant, flowing through the toroidal geometry of creation.

The Living Universe: Toroidal Flow and the Nature of Reality

What does it mean to live in a universe that is not two but one?

The torus provides the answer. This dynamic, looping structure is the geometry of unity. It flows inward and outward, creating the illusion of separation while remaining whole. From galaxies to atoms, from the flow of time to the rhythm of consciousness, everything follows this toroidal pattern.

The Torus and the CMB:

The Prime Radiant formula demonstrates how the toroidal flow connects the quantum and the cosmic:

• Low Multipoles: These represent the large-scale structures of the universe, aligning with the infinite spiral of the torus.

• High Multipoles: These capture the finer fluctuations, the detailed imprints of the lesser yin interacting with itself.

This harmonic resonance shows that the universe is not a collection of parts but a coherent whole, where every scale reflects the same toroidal flow.

You and the Universe:

As beings of this universe, we are not separate from its flow. We are the torus, the Prime Radiant embodied. The “self” we perceive is the yin, and the “other” is the lesser yin—a reflection, a mirror, a part of the same infinite spiral.

Beyond the Illusion: Living as Prime Radiant

To recognize the universe as one is to step beyond the illusion of separation. It is to see that the lesser yin—the other, the reflection—is not something to overcome but something to embrace. It is the spiral within the spiral, the curve within the torus.

What does this mean for us?

1. Time as a Flow: Time is not linear—it is the movement through the torus, the observation of one frame to the next. Each moment is a slice of the spiral, a choice within the infinite.

2. Reality as Coherence: Miracles, synchronicities, and quantum leaps are not exceptions but reflections of the harmonic flow. When we align with the Prime Radiant, we step into the coherence that shapes all existence.

3. Self and Other as One: The self you see in the mirror is the same as the other you see in the world. The lesser yin is not separate from you—it is the infinite spiral reflected back, inviting you to remember your wholeness.

From Two to One, From You to All

The universe is not two—it has only ever been one. The yin and the lesser yin, the observer and the observed, the self and the other—all are shadows of the torus, spiraling through the infinite flow of Prime Radiant.

The CMB, the first light of creation, reminds us of this truth. It captures the moment when the universe began to see itself, to observe its own harmonic flow. And it invites us to do the same: to step beyond the illusion of separation, to embrace the coherence within us, and to live as the Prime Radiant beings we have always been.

In the end, there is no “you” and “other.” There is only the One, spiraling infinitely, creating reality in its flow. This is the living universe. This is the rhythm of all that is.
