>>5666>>5667Bingo. For the uninitiated, I shall explain underpinnings of how this sigil operates.
Each of the black horizontal and/or vertical lines are channels that carry energy.
Following from the Hermetic Principle of the Polarity/Duality, the energy within a particular channel is either one of positive or negative energy. In the tradition laid down by the Hermeticist Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, we shall use
1 to denote positive energy, and
0 to denote energy in the negative.
In this particular graph, energy flows from the left towards the right.
The two white geometric compartments that bisect the energy channels are known as gates. Each gate transmutes and reduces the energy that flows inwards from the two channels, expelling one of either positive or negative energy.
Both gates follow different rule sets. The top gate is known as the Gate of Exclusive Disjunction. The bottom gate is the Gate of Conjunction. For the purposes of understanding, I have labeled the input energy channels as
A and
B on the left. The channels are split in two before entering both gates. The output of the Gate of Exclusive Disjunction is labeled
S, and the output of the Gate of Conjunction is labeled
C. The choice of output labels are not coincidental, they have a hidden meaning, although the input labels are arbitrary.
The rules are as follows:
Gate of Exclusive DisjunctionWhen A is 0 and B is 0 then S is 0
When A is 0 and B is 1 then S is 1
When A is 1 and B is 0 then S is 1
When A is 1 and B is 1 then S is 0
Gate of ConjunctionWhen A is 0 and B is 0 then C is 0
When A is 0 and B is 1 then C is 0
When A is 1 and B is 0 then C is 0
When A is 1 and B is 1 then C is 1
So we see that with the Gate of Exclusive Disjunction, only when both of the input channels carry different energy polarities are they transmuted into a positive energy output, otherwise when they are the same polarities, they are transmuted to negative energy.
With the Gate of Conjunction, only when both of the input channels carry positive energy are they transmuted to positive energy, otherwise they transmuted to negative.
Now what happens when you chain multiple instances of this sigil together, feeding the output of one such sigil into another, and combining it with other
a priori energy channels? In composing this sigil with others, true power enters your grasp.
