VMs: RE: A World With Two Suns



Noted... I also see what looks like a school of fish to the left of that lower sun (forget the fox I thought I saw nearby before too).
Like many of the diagrams, there is a fair amount of symmetry on the diagonals... Sun top left/bottom right.. Compass/clock gismo bottom left/TO map top right.

Subject: VMs: A World With Two Suns

I do not recall if it has previously been noted, but for the record there are two suns that appear in the corners of the 9-rosette (f85/f86) foldout folios, one in the top left corner and one in the bottom right hand corner. Only a few remnants of the sun drawn in the bottom right hand corner appear in the Copyflo. 
 
(Thanks to Petr Kazil for these online references)
 
Top left (North West): (shown here "upside down" in reference to Copyflo, at the bottom right corner in this URL)
 
Bottom right (South East): (also shown here upside down at top left corner)
 
At the bottom left and top right corners are the spherical objects (clock?) 'contrived' by human hands.
