I was just... I was fidgeting with a lighter and I wasn't really realizing it then I noticed, and I thought it was rude so I put it down on the table. But I put it diagonally across one of these squares.That's when I noticed that the lighter's length is exactly the same length as the diagonal itself. So I put it lengthwise, along the outside edge. But it fits there. And it fits like this, and like this, and this way, too. If I just split it in half, you know, it's got to fit somewhere. I mean, it really fits anywhere. I was noticing that the more you look at everything — this table, the objects on it, the refrigerator, this room, my nose, the world — suddenly, you realize that there's some sort of cosmic harmony of shapes and sizes. I was just wondering why. I don't know why that is. I know that it is.

You would love Sensation & Perception psychology. I am taking S&P psychology right now. They did an experiment where college students were to take pictures of three settings on their campus - a classroom, the woods, and outside the academic buildings. All of the pictures showed that the env. is mostly made up of mostly verticals and horizontals.

Also, there are about 36 basic geons "basic units of molecules" or shapes that make up most objects in our world.

This is all too hard to explain on here. But, it actually is legit scientific psychology that you are experiencing. Do an online search for "Geons" "Object Perception" "Sensation & Perception" and the like.
