Thought from Synagogue #2
The resemblances between "gematrical" and "geometrical" cannot be ignored (and are obviously not a coincidence, because nothing is ever a coincidence), so clearly each letter in the Hebrew Alphabet needs to have a geometric analogue.
Aleph, the letter with no sound, representing nothingness, the letter that starts the alphabet, representing beginningness, the letter with a value of 1, cannot be anything but a single point, a zero-dimensional unity, a singularity from which everything emanates, just as the Big Bang and time and matter exploded from a Singular point.
Bet, our second letter, looks like nothing more than a square, because of course it does, because a square has two dimensions, a visual incarnation of what raising a number to the second power does. But that's not all, because it's not just a vet, it has a nikud, a dot in the middle, because what is two but the set containing the empty set and 1, unity, itself the set containing the empty set, so Bet contains the dot that means aleph and oneness and also nothingness.
