TEMPLUM
- a Latin word. It means hypothetically marked space in the
air; in ancient Rome there were various kinds of prophets:
some of them foretold watching the bird's flight. With
wooden sticks in there hands they were seating for hours
looking at the sky and observing birds. Prophets drawing
over with their sticks were imagined quadrants in the air
(templums) making complicated nets of meanings and waiting
for birds to "fall into" wonder cages of the sky.
TEMPLE and TEMPO are words that are closed to TEMPLUM
with their meaning. Temple is: 1. Holy place 2. Something
that is cut of 3. Marked or cut part of space or time
TEMPLATE: a pattern, usu of thin board or metal, used as a
guide for cutting metal, stone, wood...
There are words that have opposite meaning but at the same
time they are connected with templum:
TEMPER: metaphorically means something solid, being angry or
upset
TEMPERANCE: practice of controlling and restraining one's
behavior
So, TEMPLUM is something as a piece of Einstein's
space-time or something as Chinese's Jin and Jang.
