From Alphabet to the Structure of the Universe: «the Universe Made from Letters» and the Ancient Chinese «Book of Changes» I Ching

In the article continue to study of the cultural heritage of Iran and China, the comparative analysis of two artifacts with identical geometric pattern was taken: a ceramic dish of Daxi culture (Ancient China, the beginning of the 4^th millennium B.C.) and Persian carpet for prayer (Iran, 16^th century). In spite of temporal distance which separates these artifacts the correspondence between geometric patterns gives the possibility to consider this pattern as a universal spatial structure. The pattern has a mathematical analogue in the form of a matrix with symmetrical distribution of prime numbers. There are reasons to suppose that this pattern represents spatial symmetry, mentioned in the Ancient Chinese “Book of Changes” I Ching (易經), under the distortion of which the order turns into chaos. In connection with many cases of destruction of archaeological artifacts on the territory of military conflicts, it is necessary to raise questions: why is such «disappearance» of artifacts the form of competitive struggle in the field of high technologies and why are the rewriting of history and spreading misinformation when the false is substituted for the true the main strategies of deception to prevent the possibility of correct and objective evaluation of these technologies in future? In relation to the fact that not only objects of culture are being destroyed but also people living on these territories there is a need to restrain the development of technologies which use characteristics of physical space structure in accordance with UN Convention “On the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques” 1977.
