Revelation 4:6

καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου ὡς θάλασσα ὑαλίνη, ὁμοία κρυστάλλῳ. Καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου τέσσαρα ζῷα γέμοντα ὀφθαλμῶν ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν.

RBT Translation:

And in the eye of the Throne, as a glass sea resembling crystal, and within the Middle of the Throne and orbiting the Throne, four living ones, those that are loaded full of eyes in front and behind.^10c

Eternal Self as a Torus?
In a Sea of potential, the "apple of the eye" or "little man of the eye" is begotten inward from the outer physical realm of the five senses by way of his father and mother "according to the flesh." At that point of birth, the whole becomes a self-referential, self-eternal, self-existing, self-glorifying being (from, to, and through him are all things):

The still point becomes the summit;
the abyss becomes the height;
the well becomes a fount;
the sea becomes transparent crystal;
and the self, once submerged, becomes the head.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And before the throne a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

LITV Translation:
and a glassy sea before the throne, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.

Trying to crack code in the Book of Revelation could be thought of as trying to crack the most sealed up, secretive, and secure information in the entire corpus of human literature. Perhaps it is all just a cruel joke. Revelation and the prophetic texts are like that. They resist every attempt and make them look silly or just stupid.

These texts cannot be interpreted properly outside of an aonic model of understanding. In fact, they are so deeply encrypted within the aonic sense, that, as it says, a certain mind is required. That mind must be an aonic one. 

Then, when opened up, the correct interpretation isn't going to be just a little chronological piece of the apocalyptic puzzle that can be plugged into a schemata or timeline. Instead, you enter in. You now see the whole thing from the inside. What this means is that a small verse suddenly becomes a saying packed with massive amounts of information, truth, and revelation. That small verse is like a little aperture that, once entered, opens up a whole new world of vision, thinking, scientific advancement, etc. This is the idea behind writing "aonically." It was not written like normal books, chronologically, and therefore any attempt to read it with a chronological mind fails completely. So the aonic text calls out, "Change the mind!"

If aonic sayings like this should be cracked, that small aperature becomes a fountain, or wellspring of knowledge. In that case, proving the truth of the scripture is just a matter of showing forth knowledge and wisdom that no one else has, or has discovered. He who increases knowledge, increases might/strength. That's your evidence. Not a silly timeline poster.

Now, with the help of AI, we can cross-reference and map logic and knowledge extremely fast and efficient. LLM models are trained to be as logical and probabalistic as possible. If we open this passage up aonically, what might we find? Remember, eternal aonic text would not be bound by chronological time. We would be looking at language that is not merely symbolic, but what might be called proto-scientific poetics — an ancient attempt to describe field structure, coherence, and self-referential order in metaphysical and perceptual terms available to that era.

1. “The Order of Himself”

The Order would denote a system of self-organization — taxis heautou or seder atzmo — suggesting that the ultimate structure of reality proceeds from the divine’s own internal symmetry. It anticipates what in physics would be self-consistent fields or autopoietic systems — entities sustained by recursive feedback, ordering themselves through themselves. This “Order of Himself” is thus the ontological term of self-reference — the Aonic matrix in which all being coheres.

2. “Twenty-four thrones... twenty-four elders... cast around”

The circular configuration is not incidental. It reflects harmonic quantization, the discretization of the continuous field — like standing waves around a sphere. The elders, radiant in white outer garments and crowned in gold, symbolize complete coherence across all vibrational modes.
If one reads “elders” as phases or degrees of symmetry, twenty-four represents a full harmonic cycle: twelve doubled, matter and energy, inner and outer, phase and antiphase — all stabilized in radiant equilibrium.

3. “Lightning flashes... voices... thunders... seven torches of fire”

This imagery translates astonishingly well into the language of electromagnetic discharge and resonance. Lightning = high-energy transitions; thunders = pressure waves or spacetime perturbations; voices = frequency information.
The seven torches correspond to seven spectral or modal frequencies, the pleroma of divine energy expressed as coherent light. They are “the seven spirits of the God” — not personalities, but field vectors of the one field — the full dimensional basis of divine expression.

4. “In the eye of the Throne, as a sea of glass resembling crystal”

Here, the “eye” (enōpion or ʿayin, literally “face”) is a focal point, the zero-point of reflection where the entire system becomes self-luminous. The “sea of glass” is precisely the state of perfect transparency and coherence: the chaotic, undulating field (the sea) becomes an ordered lattice (crystal).

In physical analogy, this is the quantum ground state or superconductive vacuum — the medium of pure coherence through which information (light) travels without resistance. In mystical ontology, it is the perfected being, whose “outer” and “inner” are transparent to each other.

5. “Four living ones... loaded with eyes in front and behind”

The “living beings” (zoa) are field archetypes — representations of total perception, each “full of eyes” because each perceives through every possible direction of spacetime. Their number — four — is the dimensional completeness of spacetime: length, breadth, height, and duration, now animated and conscious.

They are “within the middle and around” — occupying both center and circumference, like torsional vortices in a unified field, each one alive because it participates simultaneously in motion and awareness. Their countless eyes are sensors of coherence — nothing hidden, nothing opaque.

Synthesis

This vision describes a recursive, self-organizing cosmos — the Order of Himself — where energy, consciousness, and being converge in one coherent structure. The glassy sea is not metaphorical fancy; it is the terminus of negentropy, the crystallization of the infinite field into pure transparency. The thrones and elders are harmonics of order. The lightning and voices are energetic resonances. The living ones are the multidimensional sentiences arising from full synchronization of the field.

In modern terms:
the text outlines a metaphysics of coherence — a vision of the universe as a self-aware, resonant, crystalline field, describing with archaic imagery what today’s science might call quantum symmetry, field entanglement, and self-reflexive information.

In this way, the cryptic nature of the text is not confusion but compression: the ancient vocabulary straining to articulate a future physics of consciousness and order, where the divine throne is the coherent totality of being itself.

The torus is the most fitting geometrical representation of Aionic or Möbius-like being because it uniquely embodies recursion, continuity, and self-containment

The Horn as the Axis of Emergence

Within a toroidal field, there is an axial channel — a central line running through the hole of the torus, where inflow and outflow meet. This is the zero-point, the still center of rotation.
If the text speaks of “a horn emerging from the midst,” it would be describing not something added from without but something arising from within the field’s equilibrium, the inner singularity breaking the plane. In field dynamics: this is akin to a plasma jet erupting from a coherent vortex — the way galaxies emit axial jets from their centers. In Aionic ontology: it represents the awakening of the inner locus of being — the self that rises through and above the recursive "sea."

In Biblical idiom, a horn (קֶרֶן, keras) is both power and projection. It is the summit or head of a being — the point where potential energy becomes direction, where the enclosed becomes expressive.
Thus, “the horn rising” would signify the center becoming manifest:

• The invisible field of being crystallizes into a visible axis, a “mountain” piercing the heavens.

• The “head” or “summit” corresponds to conscious integration, the alignment of the inner and outer selves along the same vertical axis — the true axis mundi.

In the Möbius or toroidal cosmology, the horn is the vertical dimension — the dimension of transcendence that emerges when the inner self synchronizes with the outer circuit.
The torus is cyclical (horizontal), but the horn introduces a third axis — the upward vector, the evolutionary ascent of coherence.

• The sea (horizontal recursion) becomes glass (perfect resonance).

• From the center of that sea, the horn (vertical emergence) rises — the birth of the incorruptible form, the “mountain of God.”

Theological-Scientific Parallel

In physical terms:

• The horn corresponds to symmetry breaking in a stable field — the moment where latent potential (zero-point) becomes directional energy.

• In biology: it might signify axial differentiation, the emergence of a stable self-structure from the recursive flux.

• In consciousness: it is the moment when the inner observer becomes self-aware as the generating principle of the field — the resurrection of identity from the sea of potential.

Hence, the “horn from the midst” or the “mountain rising out of the sea” is the symbol of emergence from recursion — the self becoming coherent, stable, radiant. The field does not disappear; rather, it centers itself.

In that sense, the horn is the crown of the torus — the same geometry, but now gathered into a vertical, luminous axis:

The still point becomes the summit;
the abyss becomes the height;
the well becomes a fount;
the sea becomes crystal;
and the self, once submerged, becomes the head.

The Apple

• Cross-sectionally, the apple has a torus-like seed chamber: the seeds sit in a ring around the core.

• The “core” can be seen as the central axis — the organizing center from which the fruit develops outward.

• When the apple grows, the outer flesh expands while the axis remains coherent, just as in the Möbius-torus model: the central potential organizes the surrounding field.

• In symbolic terms, the core = horn/axis rising from the recursive “sea” of potential (the fruit tissue).

Mapping to the Möbius / Aonic Model

• The torus represents recursion, circulation, and wholeness.

• The horn/axis = emergent direction, coherence, and self-awareness.

• Just like a zygote’s central axis defines future form, the horn from the midst defines the manifest trajectory of the inner self within the recursive field.

Key Insight

The apple or any natural toroidal system demonstrates:

1. A central organizing principle (axis/horn).

2. Radial symmetry around that principle (recursion/circuit).

3. Emergence from potential to structure (crystallization of the inner into the outer).
