DURER Magic Square of 4x4

A Palette of 36 Combinations Summing to 34: Unity In Diversity
Today we explore the works of Albrecht Durer, the Renaissance artist, best known for his depiction of “Melancholia”, completed in 1514. At the top right corner of this engraving is the Magic Square of 4x4.
These exciting group of patterns summing to 34 constitute 2 cosmic statements:
1- Order Amidst Apparent Chaos.
2- Unity In Diversity.
I believe that Magic Squares, apart from their mathematical beauty, are integral keys to the future sciences, that they are templates for atomic structures and crystalline lattices.

Thank God I found this channel!!
Really great content and presentation. Thank you very much!
First time I saw Duhrer's 4x4 square was because of the first line of 1934 by Alberto Moravia. The protagonist of that novel is looking at the horizon and is struck by the though: "is it possible to live in Despair withouth the Desire of Death?" and he imagines that replacing the word "Melancholia" which the bat is carrying in Duhrer's engraving!

What is wrong with you , go touch grass

[@mardigrate]

can you work out it's a 34 if for instance, you clear all the numbers except 10,11and 6?

[@jdawgchappellicious]

There are more. Look at these symmetrical patterns:
3, 10, 7, 14 and 2, 11, 6, 15 and 5, 10, 7, 12 and 9, 6, 11, 8
also
3, 11, 6, 14 and 2, 10, 7, 15 and 5, 6, 11, 12 and 9, 10, 7, 8

[@jdawgchappellicious]

There is also 9, 10, 2, 13 and 8, 7, 15, 4
but their symmetrical twins are like this:
3, 11, 12, 1 and 16, 5, 6, 14 which don't add up to 34, instead together they add up to (34 x 2) = 68
This makes me wonder: is the magic number perhaps 68 instead of 34 and, as you have demonstrated in your illustrations, what should be considered is PAIRS of these patterns?

[@jdawgchappellicious]

In a sense, once you find one solution that yields the sum of 34, it's a matter of rotating the shape through the square (or vice versa) by 90 degrees to find the other three horizontal or vertical solutions or to find the one other diagonal solution.
And to continue the investigation of 68 as the actual magic number, perhaps it's not that there are four horizontal and four vertical solutions, but instead that the outer column pairs (vertically 16, 5, 9, 4 and 13, 8, 12, 1, and horizontally 16, 3, 2, 13 and 4, 15, 14, 1) and the inner column pairs (3, 10, 6, 15 and 2, 11, 7, 14, and 5, 10, 11, 8 and 9, 6, 7, 12) are operating together. All of your illustrations except one show pairs adding up to 68. The exception is the four squares on the upper right, but perhaps these too should be read as top pair, bottom pair, left pair, right pair, and two diagonal pairs. So that's six solutions for 68.

[@jdawgchappellicious]

Meanwhile, the numbers of the center square add up to 34 but if you add up the numbers of the perimeter square the sum is (34 x 3) = 102.
Adding all numbers from 1 to 16 gives the sum of (34 x 4) = 136.

[@markdijstelberge4339]

Tnx! and I have a question. Do you also work with gematria?

[@jainjain8071]

Hi Mark, I personally study and work with gematria, but I find it is a difficult topic to teach, it is thus more for advanced studies, but since my main work is to get youth and adults excited about the numbers of nature etc, I focus on that, and later can teach gematria.

[@markdijstelberge4339]

@@jainjain8071 Hi Jain, I studied the work Melencolia from Albrecht Durer and he used gematria in his engraving. I can send you a link to my findings if you like. I would love to philosophy about it with you.
Warm regards, Mark

@@markdijstelberge4339 Hi Mark, yes sending me some of the links to study. I am interested. Since many countries and cultures have their own unique system of gematria, I often wonder if there exists a universal language and from this evolves the primal form of gematria that all cultures comprehend. Though each culture's gematria are of course highly interesting and intelligently encoded.
