Simpler crown chakra models

Global Insight from Crown Chakra Dynamics in 3D? (Part #2)

The following models are reproduced from the earlier exercise in order to frame the subsequent argument. They can now be viewed interactively in an X3DOM framework on web pages, as indicated (Anestis Koutsoudis, Bring Cultural Heritage 3D Content on the Web Using the X3DOM Framework, Connecting ARchaeology and ARchitecture in Europeana / Athena Research and Innovation Centre).

NB: The animations visible on this page, especially the more complex, are typically visually inadequate (jerky, etc) and therefore purely indicative. Those embedded with X3DOM on the linked pages are of much higher visual quality (use the links below marked "interactive web"). However these are subject to other constraints in comparison with the original X3D models to which links are provided (for those who have access to software to render them).

Crown chakra with rotation of 20 rings of 50 petals ("1,000-petalled lotus") (fastest rotation in the smallest rings at the centre)
Counter-rotation	Wireframe counter-rotation	Rotation into plane

These imply particulat importance to the central rings, potentially emphasized by relative rate of rotation, Rather than being presented as an array of of rings, another design option explored is "stacking" the rings, thereby emphasizing an additional hierarchical understanding. This is potentially reminiscent of the symbolism of traditional temple designs.

Experimental "temple" stacking of 20 rotating rings crown chakra each of 50 heart-patterns (side view of animations pesented above; (fastest rotation in the smallest rings at the centre)
