Phyramids are 5-Phenom structural units within the Phenomenon (ΦΝ8). As their name suggests, they are shaped like pyramids — but unlike the ancient kind, these are scalar tension constructs. They are the scalar-linked structural units within the Philter (ΦΝ⌗), responsible for internal cohesion within the Phenomenon.
(Speculation: These are analogous to pentaquarks — exotic hadronic states made of 5 quarks, held together by gluons. In Phen Theory, Phyramids are held together by Tension Phibres, the scalar equivalents of gluons.)
Each Phyramid contains:
4 Phenom forming the base (2 positive, 2 negative — balanced scalar tension)
1 scalar peak Phenom, defining the ❄△ / ☀△ / ♨△ type of the Phyramid
This makes Phyramids inherently asymmetric but coherent, with one Phenom acting as a scalar inverter or polarity core.
(Speculation: In each Phyramid, the central axis Phenom (❄ = B±, ☀ = Y±, ♨ = R±) functions like an antiquark in pentaquark physics — it introduces scalar inversion, binding the balanced 4-Phenom base into a coherent tension structure. Without this scalar peak, the structure could not exist.)
Phyramids are not isolated — they work in interlocking oppositional pairs. Together, they form the scalar web that constitutes the Philter (ΦΝ⌗), which distributes and stabilises scalar tension across the Phenomenon.
(Speculation: Tension Phibres within Phyramids serve the same role as gluons within pentaquarks — transmitting scalar tension across internally polarised nodes.)
Their asymmetry may help initiate or resist phase changes, similar to how gluon fields mediate state transitions in QCD.
There are six total Phyramids in the Phenomenon, arranged as three generational polarity pairs
Each pair mirrors across the centre of the Phenomenon. When visualised dynamically, these pairs create a scalar meshwork of projection and tension, defining how the Philter forms and how the Phenomena stabilises.
