Benjamin Franklin - Magic Circle, “Experiments and Observations on Electricity”, 1750. Each radius of this Magic Circle (including the center entry) sums to 360, as does each annulus. Franklin has also highlighted 20 “excentric” annuli, each of which, together with the central 12, sums to 360.

(noun) Psychology. Paracosm is an extremely rare word defining the imaginary world constructed in one’s mind, specifically by children. It is an infinite fantasy, anything can exist from animals to aliens and entities foreign to outsiders. Anything is possible in this fantasy milieu, one has their own language, experience, geography and history. Parcosm is usually developed as a result of high creativity, problem-solving, and others theorize: high intelligence. (via ballion)
