So it has been an interesting few months since I last posted and now I have the joys of an upgraded maths/art hybrid project playing around with established known math theory etc. Here I got to create some funky Penrose tiling, but I don’t think this would make for a practical floor to walk on!

So I been stuck on this thought for a while now , so if someone could help with some input would be greatly appreciated. So this year I was looking at my clock hanging on my wall , so I decided to do some math and draw chords , I know now its called modular arithmetic mod 12, base 60 but to me it seemed like it had a signature from maybe ancient timekeeping or astronomy possibly ?first thing I did was split the clock in 1/4 which creates the cardinal axes 12 north 6 south 3 east 9 west so now I have direction plus cw and ccw the the next thing I seen was mirrored 12's , 12 on the east and 12 on the west sun up sundown made sense then I noticed if I split the clock straight down the middle with a chord from 12 to 6 that could act as the prime meridian on a globe and a chord from 3 to 9 would be the equator ,zero degrees ,if you add a z axis to the center of the clock it becomes a sphere this would be all from a front or side view and to see a top view I use all opposite numbers that sit diametrically that cross through the center are +6-6 depending on what side of the 6 your on I say that for the math it's directional if your on the east it's -6 the west is +6 when they intersect at the pole they cancel out to become 0 this is the same for north and south poles it's the same arrangement for both poles except on clock is turned at 15 ° so it's clock numbers would sit in between the other clock numbers so it creates the 24 longitude lines on a globe , I know this is probably confusing the crap out of everybody , but does anybody know if this could be the way the world globe could have been made or vice versa the way our clocks were made? I attached some sketches to hopefully help clarify what I'm trying to explain. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

Info on the design itself:

The cinquefoil/pentafoil knot is also sometimes known as Solomon's seal knot. In the field of knot theory, this design is classified as a standard 51 knot, specifically a (5, 2)-torus knot. It is formed by a single, continuous, unbroken loop that alternates over and under itself at five intersecting points to create a symmetrical, star-like pattern.
