At its highest level the G(like all letters and numbers)is a symbol. If you overlay the complete flower with a sheet of tracing paper,you will be able to trace out any known alphabet.I should have wrote trace instead of draw.Whether it’s “trace” or “draw”, that doesn’t change the matter any.
You see, your geometric pattern is doing nothing but setting up a regular repeating series of points, which you’re connecting to form whatever shape you want. Yes, it is true that you can make any letter in any alphabet by sticking together various points in the FoL. But it’s not the FoL forming those shapes naturally, it’s you choosing what points are needed to force the letter into the pattern of points.
Consider this geometric pattern based off of my bathroom floor, for example. It does the exact same thing that your FoL does, in that it sets up a regular and repeating pattern of points. Notice how it has no curved lines, making it quite different from your FoL. And yet, we can easily create a letter “G” from it. And that’s not all. Here we see that we can make the letter pi with no problem. We can make any letter we want to, just by connecting the points that we want. Look at this example, where we not only have the ancient sacred symbol known as the “Smy Li Fase”, but also the numbers one through ten and the word “falafel” in Arabic (hmmm, perhaps I’ll call my pattern the Complete Flower of Falafel?).
All it takes is to connect the points that we need to make the symbol. There’s nothing special about those points in particular that set them apart from all the other points on the pattern. It’s not as though I could have only formed that “G” with those exact points and no other. I’m just randomly choosing a starting point and forcing the letter onto whatever points I want. The pattern doesn’t form the letter; I form the letter on the pattern. And it’s the same with the FoL.
It doesn’t even have to be a regular repeating pattern. That just makes it easier. Consider Escher’s “Ascending and Descending”. That’s not an image of just a completely symmetrical repeating pattern the way that your Flower of Life or my Flower of Falafel are. And yet, I can connect points on it to form a “G”. I could probably make all sorts of other letters as well.
Your Flower of Life isn’t special in that it can be used to draw or trace symbols.
On the complete flower,you do not need to connect points to draw the alphabets. All you`ve got to do is pick them out,you do not need to force anything.
