ONUTORO “PART 2” OF "STARS OF MARS" The word’s wheel rotates between good bad. Everyone must find what is good for oneself and to the others(Zarathustra) http://webspace.webring.com/people/or/ramonetriu/onutoro.html

A natural way utile wheel to the physical world, which I call ONUTORO, must also be for the mental. The simplest form of a "pneumatic" well applied can be the key to universal evolution. http://webspace.webring.com/people/or/ramonetriu/onutoro.html

EN EL VALLE DE CYDONIA, EN MARTE, EXISTE UNA FORMA ANULAR (MUY UTIL EN LA EVOLUCION MENTAL) PARECE EL DISEÑO DE UN NEUMATICO https://youtu.be/N4aeQeWfyDw

“ONUTORO, PSICOIDILICAS”: ES LA SEGUNDA PARTE DE “ESTRELLAS DE MARTE” Una forma natural utilisima de la rueda, para el mundo fisico, a la cual que yo llamo ONUTORO, también debe serlo para lo mental. La forma de un simple "salvavidas" bien aplicada puede ser la llave de la evolucion universal.

The mazzocchio is a headgear composed of a circle, larger than the circumference of the head and formed of cotton padding and covered with cloth. Its inner structure belongs to the family of the platonic solids. The term may derive from the Latin ‘maxuca’ and from its diminutive ‘maxucullus’, meaning “a quantity of things pressed together into a bunch”. The Quattrocento was the grand era of the mazzocchio: its use spread throughout all of Europe, but costume history links this accessory to the high bourgeoisie of Renaissance Florence. It is recurrently visible in pictorial tradition, and Paolo Uccello often painted his personages wearing it. Its faceted geometry was difficult to represent in perspective and its appearance would indicate a great mastery of the rules of perspective. Piero della Francesca explained how to represent the mazzocchio in perspective in his treatise DE PROSPECTIVA PINGENDI. A timeless form that conceals other significances: in Italian “to adjust someone’s mazzocchio” means “to get someone out of their caprices”.
