A Series of Studies
The Temple
Solomon's Temple, read by its measurements
1 Kings 6–7 · 2 Chronicles 3–4
1 Kings 6–7 · 2 Chronicles 3–4
Scripture gives blueprints three times: the tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, and the New Jerusalem. This series takes the middle one at its word, every cubit of it, and asks what the numbers are saying. The dimensions turn out to carry a story: the exile walked backward, a cube that keeps growing, proportions tuned like a chord, a builder whose own ledger warns against him, and a cross folded inside the Most Holy Place. Each study stands alone; together they read one building three ways, first by its shape, then by its sound, then by what it cost to open it.
I
Study One
The Geometry of the Presence
The walk from exile to the cube, exhibit by exhibit: the doubling of the tabernacle, the sevens of creation, the forty-cubit road, the harmonies in the stone, the 666 in the builder's ledger, the cross in the fold, and the hidden ratio of the Sea. With a full interactive 3D reconstruction, built to the cubit.

Study Two
The Voice of the House
An acoustic study computed from the dimensions: the unison chamber of the cube, a hall whose three axes sound root, fourth, and octave, thirteen seconds of reverberation, the infrasound of the torn veil, and the silent fundamental every room is an overtone of. With a playable instrument: tap each space and hear it.

Study Three
The Price of the Door
What it costs to hold open a way between two orders of reality. A room where the uncreated meets the time-bound, lethal by default, propped open once a year by blood. Read alongside the one thing physics says can hold a throat open between separated regions, and the reason the veil had to tear from the top.
