| Keywords: New Jerusalem (Michell) Sacred Geometry.svg A diagram of the New Jerusalem sacred geometry structure of quasi-mystical author John Michell Color code ;Grey The twelve moon-diameter circles pearls or gates Relative linear size 3 ;Green The basic earth-diameter circle its circumference is tangent to the circumferences of the twelve circles Relative linear size 11 ;Brown The square which encloses the earth-diameter circle and also the circle which goes through the centers of the twelve circles This square and circle have the same approximate perimeter length i e an inexact squaring of the circle Four of the small circles have circumferences tangent to the perimeter of the square while the other eight small circles are positioned so that the intersections of the brown circle and square are on the circumference of a small circle ;Yellow A heptagram seven-pointed star enclosed within the brown circle Due to various coincidences such as that the angle B defined in the PostScript code below 25 8395856° is almost the same as 360°/14 or 25 7142857° a heptagram drawn between centers of the small circles and points where the circumferences of the small circles intersect the brown circle is a fairly close approximation to a regular heptagram ;Black Other construction lines including a slightly-irregular dodecagon which encloses the whole figure The squares enclosing the four central small circles are not shown since they clutter the diagram and give the impression that the other eight small circles might be tangent to such squares which they aren't However the eight interrupted black diagonal line segments each continue a line drawn from the center of the whole diagram to an inner vertex of such a square Many other construction lines could be included such as four evenly spaced equilateral triangles surrounding the innermost black circle instead of just two four 7/2 heptagrams instead of just one four 7/3 heptagrams a large circle enclosing the twelve small circles i e inscribed within the outer dodecagon two perpendicular intersecting vesica piscis diagrams enclosing the brown circle and square the 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangles connecting the square enclosing the earth circle with squares enclosing four central moon circles or the radial black line segments could be extended to the center of the diagram etc etc Created from scratch by User
