One example of Gematric reasoning is that there are twenty-two solid figures that are composed of regular polygons. There are five Platonic solids, two Kepler solids, two Poinsot solids, and thirteen Archimedean solids. Since there are twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet (aleph-beth), a correspondence is possible between these two facts. The art of Gematria is knowing which solid is associated with which letter. |
