A QUEST FOR UNDERSTANDING
The Mereon Matrix is a complex, dynamic geometric system. Its two geospheres, a core and context, interact, tying eleven, spherical Mereon trefoil knots. This System has been rigorously investigated by a scientific team for more than three decades, and continues.
Our Mission
This grand adventure began in 1987 as a personal quest. It transformed into an international investigation in 1994, when a transdisciplinary group of scientists took up the challenge to determine if there was a coherent relationship between a Pattern, a trefoil knot moving on the surface of a sphere, and two embedded geometric spheres. The intent was to determine if this unknown spherical Trefoil knot was in fact, the ‘language’ that connected these two spheres.
“The Mereon Matrix: Everything Connected through (K)nothing”, World Scientific Publishing, 2018, makes it clear the answer is “Yes.”
“It is theorised that the interplay of this dynamic framework is universal.
The implications for understanding the interconnectedness life forms and systems that display differences is profound. ”
The Mereon Matrix, R. Buckminster Fuller’s Jitterbug, & Field Theory
The Mereon Matrix offers an ever-deepening understanding of the behavioural patterns that govern both the physical and metaphysical aspects of reality. The dynamics of both the Context and the Core, reveal the natural sequence of how all the fundamental geometric forms, the Platonic solids and the Kepler semi-regular solids, arise, either as singles or as clusters. The team continues to explore the possible connection between this System and all aspects of physics.
NEW DISCOVERIES
During Covid lockdown, we expanded our investigation to visualise recursive coherence of the fundamental geometries that ‘belong’ to the Mereon Matrix. Concurrently, we refocused a 20-year quest to establish a connection between this system and the ancient symbol recognized globally as the Flower of Life. The discoveries made were exciting, curious and compelling.
Systemic Coherence at every level
The animations below envision what we refer to as a Mereon Cymatic Evolution, MCE. Here you see that while change takes place at different stages of this recursive system, coherence is sustained. The animation on the left shows the 120/180 polyhedron, the system’s aqueous boundary, think ‘bubble’, at its closed and minimal stage. The second video imagines doubling the structure, this, the 2nd MCE.
Below, we considered the recursive levels of the first Platonic solid, the tetrahedron, and how it fits inside the system. It is important to understand that this is the only form that can cross the boundary when the system opens without breaking it. Ten tetrahedrons are drawn into the system at a time, opposites meeting as pairs that transform into cubes.
The video on the left is the 1st MCE of the Cube, the video on the right showing how coherence appears at the 5th MCE.
Understanding the mathematical nature of the Mereon Matrix to be pure Golden Ratio at every level, scaling to infinity both inside and out, the exquisite beauty was no surprise.
This investigation continues.
The Flower of Life and Mereon
A Journey of Circles, Spirals, &Knots:
In 2001, Lynnclaire encountered the Flower of Life, sparking a profound geometric exploration. After years of intense study of the Pattern, The Mereon torus knot formed in the union/reunion of two 1.5 helix spirals spinning in opposite directions. She had a knowing that the Flower of Life and the Mereon Geometry and torus knot were related.
Almost two decades later, when the COVID-19 lockdown happened, her research team finally dedicated focused time to investigating the relationship between these complex geometric patterns. While the full details remain nuanced here, we’re letting these visual representations open your imagination and insights into the intricate relationships between circular, spiral, knots and a dynamic universal geometric system.

the Discovery of Four Unknown Parabolic Polyhedra
During the 2020 investigation into the connection between the Flower of Life and the Mereon Matrix, we discovered four previously unknown parabolic polyhedrons. All fit inside the 120/180 Polyhedra. The current hypothesis is that these unique forms emerge as the Mereon system ‘breathes’. This investigation continues.
And The artistic Quest
Through her art, Lynnclaire continued her quest to attempt to figure out when and how the Flower of Life’s pattern of Rings lifted into 3 and 4D. Her sense was both the geometry and the knot had to be present.
In 2022, she found them. The tetrahedron and the knot both appear when the 8th circle is added.

It’s been almost 8 years since Lynnclaire and Brad met at a mathematics conference in Hungary! Their reunion continues to be a remarkable convergence of feeling, thinking, and thought.
Drawing and making things is how I have always explored and understood the world around me. I made a living as a sculptor for many years before needing to know more about spatial patterns of movement and how they worked. Buckminster Fuller was my introduction to geometry.
