Game of Soloman’s Temple for 5th August, 2026

 

A game of Soloman’s Temple were we create three codon colours into patterns no codon can appear twice unless it’s a Palindrome……..but even then only once will it be read……four letters four colours 64 DNA Codons…….enjoy your thinkiing. X 

Here we have my most recent game of Soloman’s Temple this first pic is my first attempt but the game is complete but with 38 triangles and we know now that it can come down to 34 so in section two we will try to reduce it ……..

So 38 triangles and now we get that down to 36….

And finally We have reduced to 34 and the game is finished……

I do like to see full hexagrams in their it seems so orderly and well organised. Enjoy your thinking. X 

Soloman’s Temple attempts to reach 32 triangles

 I am still in pursuit of the perfect Soloman’s Temple game of just 32 pieces……wish me luck…..lets start with The Other One of the Pair game which gives us 16 triangles showing half of the 64 DNA Codons and if you flip it over the other side will be its opposite of another 16 triangles thus together 32 triangles. The problem is getting into the first set of 16 triangles and trying to add another colour or letter to the mix….

Here we see 16 triangles and where the line around it is black you cannot add anything here without making a duplication. The lines marked with pink squiggles is a position something could be added but at this point of the game it is impossible to add either C T G or A without once again making a duplication. So lets open it out a little and see if that helps….

Here we have opened it up a little but where black lines are shown there is still no way to add a triangle without duplication. Then we look to the areas of possibility with the pink squiggle and again neither C< T< G or A can be added without duplications. So lets open it out some more…

Again the black lines are no go areas and Pinks have possibilities but still no matter where we try to add one triangle we create a duplications so the only thing we can do is break it down further and hopefully find somewhere to start adding more triangles. 

The easiest way is to break the set in half and try to add to it in order to expand…..

Even when adding extras to the middle portion it is still difficult to add the set…..

As you can see many more changes have to come before we can make up a game of 34 triangles. As yet still not been able to reduce it any further. I shall keep trying. Enjoy your thinking x 

Soloman’s Temple 36 Part 20th July, 2025

 I find so often in Soloman’s Temple that the ends where it is easiest to attach another triangle are often the same……here for example we end top left on GC….creating two codons that are both Alanine. Top right end GC withTGC being cysteine……mid left ends CG with CGA being Arginine…..finally at the bottom ends in CC Proline. This makes it more difficult to find a new attachment point if they are all the same or similar. 

The positions marked X are places you cannot add another triangle without duplicating the codon. If a codon is like a palindrome e.g. CGC adding any other letter could create two the same. So quite a lot of positions we cannot add to here. Just the ends remain with their similarities but there is the odd place you can move something to . This is a 36 piece Soloman’s Temple and is complete containing all 64 codons so adding anything anywhere would be a duplication but you can add and remove from somewhere else is a bad to make the game smalleras in 34 triangles which is the smallest I have achieved so far. 

On the cysteine corner if I added an A creating AGC and AGT they would both make the amino acid Serine (you couldn’t in this setting but if you did) interesting though it would be another corner of two amino acids that are the same. 

I guess if I was being true to DNA Codons I would make sure the ends were TAA - TAG - TGA shouting out STOP. Perhaps I should also start the game at ATG MET or Start point. I might attempt that sometime. Enjoy your thinking. X

Soloman’s Temple and The Other One of The Pair and their Patterns

T meeting A and C meeting G 

          2          8         1          4         3          9          7          6

2 CCC CCT         CTC         CTT         TCC         TCT         TTC        TTT

Read from left to right …

6 GGG GGA GAG GAA AGG AGA AAG       AAA

Read from right to left…

8 CCA CCG CTA         CTG TCA         TCG TTA        TTG

Read from left to right…

7 GGT GGC GAT         GAC AGT         AGC AAT       AAC

Read from right to left…

1 CAC CAT         CGC CGT TAC         TAT         TGC      TGT

Read from left to right…

9 GTG GTA         GCG GCA ATG         ATA         ACG      ACA

Read from right to left…

4 CAA         CAG CGA CGG TAA         TAG         TGA      TGG

read from left to right…

3 GTT         GTC GCT GCC ATT         ATC         ACT      ACC

Read from right to left. 

So when reading left to right the number sequence is…

28143976 but if reading from right to left you also have to read it as 28143976 so in reverse. 

So when looking for pairings for the Game The Other One of The Pair we find them as above. In the usual I Ching Map of The Word based on 28143976 its interesting to note that all eight rows are usually read from left to right but in order to pair them up with their partner number we read left to right then loop back right to left and so on creating a snake like pattern from top to bottom.

1 2 3 7

5

9 6 4 8

Don’t worry too much about the number 5 in this pattern as it does NOT occur here but if required I would change 5 to a number 2. 

The pattern above shows us that if you pick a Nine Star Ki of say:

1/7 TGC that would create its opposite in 9/8 ACG

1 becomes 9 and 7 becomes 8…..T becomes A G becomes C and C becomes G……..all partnering with their opposites. 

In the game Solomans Temple we make a pattern which contains all 64 DNA Codons but in the game with a minimum of 34 triangles. The Other One of the Pair you need only make 32 codons but with the same again on the underside so only 17 triangles are needed. 

The I Ching The Word sequence is…… 2   8   1   4   3   9   7   6 the two outers are 2 and 6 partners… next two 8 and 7, next two 1 and 9 and finally two middle 4 and 3 partners.  So again a clear pattern and reason the numbers appear in this sequence. 

Lets take another example 3/1 ATC partners with 4/9 TAG again each partnering correctly. 

2 8 1 4 3 9 7 6

6 7 9 3 4 1 8 2

Reading 2 8 1 4 from left to right and 6 7  9  3 read from right to left. 

In this pattern TGC is read from left to right and then you turn the circle and read the top line AGC right to left……..fish swimming in opposite directions it can be referred to but infact the moment you draw a circle around the its a different story. 

Enjoy your thinking. X 

The Half game of Soloman’s Temple a.k.a. The Other One of The Pair

 

Here we see a game of 20 triangles which create all 64 DNA codons as any missing can be found on the reverse side of the pattern just as we see one side of a string of DNA. To make a game of 20 it has used 5 partial hexagrams instead of 6 pieces each hexagram has only 5 pieces. 

In order to reduce the game to its minimum (so far) of 18 we can adapt and end up with a full six piece hexagram as well as the fives. 

Now we have managed to reduce the game down to 18 pieces with one 6 piece and 3 5 piece Hexagrams. 

The game has yet to be officially named……..a game of two halves came to mind but I am currently settling on The Other One of the Pair……..a more scientific angle to it. Enjoy your thinking. X 

Soloman’s Temple as a Game of Two Halves with 18 pieces

 I wonder what I should call this part of The Soloman’s Temple game………A game of two halves perhaps …………If I can make a game of Soloman’s Temple with the reduced number of triangles to 34 then I should be able to make this game from 17 triangles but so far 18 seems to be the least, I will persist though. In The I Ching etc., when you know half the story you can guess the other side so perhaps this game is just more of the same. Soloman’s Gam of Two Halves is the name I will stick to for now. Enjoy your thinking. X 

All 64 Codons of DNA can be found in looking at both sides of this pattern. Imagine it is between two sheets of glass and you can turn in over. Then you have every codon required. X

The Unfinished Game of Soloman’s Temple 19.5.2025

 

Here we see an unfinished game of Soloman’s Temple I have tried to make the game with three full 6 piece hexagrams but without success. Also in keeping the game so tightly packed I have ended up rendering it impossible to add another triangle at any position in the shape. The dots denote blockages. If I place a triangle in the position of a dot I create a repeated codon in all instances. Hence the stop sign to the right denoting this game cannot go any further unless I remove huge chunks of it. If I could have sneaked in another 9 triangles the game of 34 would be complete but here it was impossible. The DNA Codons that are like palindromes seem to create many of the blockages in a game of Soloman’s Temple. E.g. AGA, TGT etc., because adding to them just creates two immediately that are the same. Enjoy your thinking x  

Soloman’s Temple of 34 for 18th May, 2025

 

We see here a 34 piece game of Soloman’s Temple appearing on only 4 levels which is quite tight. The patterns are made up of a 6 piece or full hexagram and a few 5 piece, 4 piece and the two end parts of the puzzle are just 3 pieces each. This pattern dominates in Water and Air/Tree energy with Earth and Fire lacking. I love to see two 5 piece hexagrams combining leaving just one piece missing but then another 5 piece attaches at the bottom so three potential hexagrams combining and all missing that just one piece of the puzzle. When playing the game it shows us how and when DNA Codons connect up and when they don’t. Enjoy your thinking x 

Solomans Temple is Now Made up of 34 Triangles

 For the first ten or so years of the game Soloman’s Temple (solo mans) it was felt that the minimum amount of triangles of letter or colours in the game was 36 and in this 36 you could make all 64 DNA codons read in different directions. In 2024 I played a game of 34 I couldn’t believe it but it was true. The thing I have noticed about the game of 34 is that the Grand Trines of DNA Codons 2/2 CCC 2/6 TTT 6/2 AAA 6/6 GGG cannot have the other 3 letters attached. For example in a game of 36 here the block of 3 colours are able to attach each of the other 3 colours to them in order to make a 34 you cannot do that. I may be wrong but it seems to be the way of it. You would think it would take more not less to play the game this way but for some reason it enables you to make up a game of 34 triangles. 

This is a game of 36 one of my favourites because the serpent like shape or Present shape would make a nice light feature. You will note GGG yellow - CCC blue - AAA green - TTT orange all have the other 3 colours attached to them this is the best way to make a game of 36.

Now when it comes to games of 34 I find it does not work if the block of three has all the other 3 colours attached, how many it has can vary but not all 3. 

Note here it can only become a 34 triangle game because CCC Blue has only a yellow and orange attachment and the green ACC can be seen in the top left hand corner. So why does this have to be the case. If I had added the green A triangle in betwee the gap of C Blue and C blue I could have created CAC, CGA, ACC, ATC and ACT……….5 new codons but if I did the whole game would never come together as a 34 triangle set. Also observe how letters that read the same in both directions eg ACA, TGT, often cause blockages because it is more difficult to find ways to add to them…….they are like an elbow sticking out somehow which blocks your way. 

So many observations about DNA can be made when playing Soloman’s Temple……hence the name it is all coming from your own mind. Enjoy your thinking x 

Last Solomans Temple of 34 for 2025

 

My last Soloman’s Temple of 2024 showing a 34 piece set. Only 7 Water C triangles all the other elements have 9 triangles. Enjoy your holidays and I look forward to thinking of something new for 2025. X

Soloman’s Temple for 30/9/2024

 

Here we see my first attempt at a game of Soloman’s Temple but I was only able to manage a 36 triangle game. So I stuck with it and kept on tweeking it until I was able to make the game in 34. Patience indeed is required for this game. All 64 codons of DNA appear in both sets. Enjoy your thinking x 

36 Triangles of Soloman’s Temple

Here we have an example of the game Soloman’s Temple. You take all 64 codons of DNA and reduce them down to just 36 triangles within which you can read all of the letters as a codon. 64 x 3 letters = 192 triangles so reducing them down to 36 is quite a thing in itself. To make it even more of a perfect mix reduce them down to 9 of each of the four elements…..fire orange…air/tree yellow…earth green and Water blue. On top of that the game can be played like this one with North or South directions of the triangle. It can also be played East West. I tend to play North South as molecules like to turn to face North so perhaps I should too. I have shown two examples the top one is lighter in tone as though the DNA is fading perhaps with age. The lower DNA samples are much brighter and more vibrant somehow perhaps those of a younger person. Remember the gaps between each triangle could be the space that God or MA takes so that it surrounds every triangle with love as it moves on its way. Every thought we have attracts what we require in our direction in order to learn, achieve and succeed or fail depending on the wavelengths we send out there. 

When you get codons like ATA it often follows with TAT and in creating these patterns it creates a blockage as you cannot add another triangle to them because it would mean creating two of the same codon. Not acceptable. So I have drawn up another image with a dot in the places which are blocked because they would repeat a pattern twice. 

So looking at this picture you see red dots everywhere that is because if we tried to place a triangle of any colour here then it would create two codons the same ……..the question mark shows a similar pattern but because it is Yellow G, Green A and Blue C placing a triangle here would be okay and you could continue to add to the puzzle. If you have AAA and place a triangle here of say T you will create two codons both TAA which is not allowed as no two patterns should repeat. If you look at this particular pattern you can see there are many blockages places you cannot expand on and yet you can always find a way to add to the pattern until you finish the game. Sometimes the game is finished with more than 9 of each element and it is still a game that is finished but it is not as tight and compact as it could be. It begs the question do codons like TAT, ATA, CGC etc., all create blockages in other ways within patterns of DNA. They are like an elbow you turn a corner with them. Do Palindromes create problems in DNA as do codons with three letters the same CCC GGG for example. Enjoy your thinking. X
