Cosmological Pangea By C. Rich

Cosmological Pangea Symbol
The symbol on the right is a minimalist, monochromatic logo designed specifically as a branding emblem for Cosmological Pangea. It consists of three primary geometric elements arranged in precise symmetry and balance:
- Outer enclosing circle A complete, unbroken circumference rendered in clean white lines against the black background. This circle represents the unified, primordial wholeness—the singular, pre-distinction state that precedes any breaking or differentiation. In the context of your framework, it symbolizes the initial, undifferentiated potential from which all distinctions emerge, evoking the pre-geometric phase before the “first cut.”
- Interior circular form (the “dot” or small circle) Positioned off-center toward the upper-right quadrant within the larger circle, this smaller filled circle stands for the emergence of the first irreducible distinction—the primitive “A ≠ B” that initiates everything. Its placement is deliberate: not perfectly centered, to avoid static symmetry and instead suggest the onset of asymmetry, directionality, and propagation that follows the initial breaking.
- Vertical descending line (the “stem” or axis) A straight, sharp line extending downward from the base of the small circle, bisecting the lower arc of the outer circle and terminating just beyond it. This element functions as the visual representation of propagation—the directional flow of distinction outward from the initial point of difference. It evokes the emergence of temporality and causality: a vector that breaks the pure circular unity, introducing linearity, hierarchy, and the arrow of time. In your model, this corresponds to the post-first-cut phase where distinctions must propagate in a stable, self-referential arena, ultimately yielding 3+1 spacetime.
Overall Symbolic Interpretation
The composition reads as a single, continuous glyph that transitions from wholeness (the enclosing circle) → first distinction (the offset dot) → directed propagation (the descending axis). The negative space created between the descending line and the right side of the outer circle subtly forms a partial “P” shape, nodding to “Pangea” without overt literalism, while the overall form remains abstract and novel.
This design achieves several branding objectives:
- Extreme simplicity for scalability and recognizability (effective in small sizes, monochrome, or color variations).
- Visual novelty—no direct resemblance to common astronomical, geological, or religious symbols.
- Conceptual fidelity to the distinction-based ontology: unity → break → directed emergence.
