liFE

Unfortunately, the origin of the term "life" is unknown, but what we do know about it, with certainty, is that it's an acronym: it stands for

1. life-is-four-edged, or
2. life-is-for-ever.

Current studies strongly support the theory that life is actually four-edged; Fig. 1 presents irrefutable evidence. Additionally, as this figure shows (see details in its caption), each of the letters in this term stands for an important concept, including existence, eternity, and the reason for life itself.

Fig 1.  The meaning of "life" (ordered by corner): (l) "life" (i) "is" or "existence" (F) "final cause" ("for what") (E) "eternity". The edges of life (in yellow) represent the borders of the universe: the often called quadrilateral of life contains everything.

Trinity vs Quadrinity (or Quadrangularity)

Several religions believe in a three-folded God. They wrongly state that God is simultaneously one and three divine persons or hypostases:

1. the father,
2. the son and
3. the holy (sister) spirit.

Clearly, the mother is missing—that is the real mystery. Note that the trinity figure (Fig. 2) has actually 4 elements. They got the counting wrong. This is an additional hint that led to the believe in the quadrinity.

❑	Note: Tertullian, a Latin theologian who wrote in the early third century, is credited as being the first to use the Latin words "Trinity", "person" and "substance" to explain that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are "one in essence—not one in Person" [TRIN].

Quadrinity and its graphical representation

God is four in one: a quadrilateral is 4 (corners) in one (shape). Moreover, each corner alone has no meaning without the others (a single point has no content).

Quadrinity better than trinity: four reasons

1. Quadrinity has one more component (4>3).
2. Trinity has one less component (3<4).
3. A quadrilateral contains two triangles (this is a mystery).
4. It's a more handy shape (look around you!).

Why four: other reasons

1. The word "liFE" has four letters.
2. The four used letters in "liFE" are respectively written with the following numbers of strokes: 1 ("l"), 2 ("i"), 3 ("F") and 4 ("E").
3. In DNA, there are exactly 4 nucleobases: adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. The immense genetic relevance of this is discussed elsewhere [ELSEW].
4. In each nucleobase, there are exactly 4 elements: Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen.

The number four: its properties

1. It is the only number with a name that has letters.
2. It is a perfect square.
3. It is the only number for which there is an that verifies .
4. It is the smallest composite number.

Further evidence and proof

The universe is clearly not a 3- but a 4-dimensional object (3 for space, 1 for time). Theoretical advances have led to a formal proof of the above presented ideas. Particularly important contributions have been made in 1905, by A. Einstein [EIN1905]; in particular, most expressions in this theory, like , involve the speed of light in square—not in triangle. See also Fig. 1, which shows the light in a square. Note that this equation involves four elements: , , , . Btw, a simple interpretation of this expression is that energy, the essence of life, is actually mass and light in square (again, see Fig. 1).

Controversies

The right proportions of the life quadrilateral remain uncertain. A certain number of theories have been presented; there is however strong support for four of them:

1.	The Square theory has the strongest support from theoretical physics (see above).
2.	The Golden-ratio theory states that the vertical to horizontal ratio is the golden ratio. The golden ratio, being an irrational number with many surprising properties, is believed by many to be omnipresent in nature and to be a truly divine number. See [GOLDRAT].
3.	The Transposed golden-ratio theory states that the horizontal to the vertical ratio is the golden ratio.
4.	The Dynamical quadrangle theory states that the proportions change with time.
