The Cosmometry Project

The Art of Modeling and Mapping the Cosmos

The purpose of The Cosmometry Project is to bring coherence to and widespread understanding about the field of research that seeks to identify the unified wholeness inherent in all aspects of reality, to define the fundamental components that comprise it, and to explore and promote applications of this knowledge in society.

Although Cosmometry as a specific field of study exists at present in name only, the field has been explored to date under many names including Sacred Geometry, Universal Geometry, and Cosmic Geometry. The word cosmometry is found in the 1913 Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary and is defined as “The art of measuring the world or the universe.”

In the context of this project, the word cosmometry is the name of a field of inquiry concerned with modeling and mapping the physical and metaphysical cosmos in all dimensions. The underlying premise is that there exists a unified set of essential characteristics common to all manifestation in the cosmos—micro and macro, physical and metaphysical—and that these characteristics can be (and are increasingly being) discerned, defined and applied into the systems of thinking and creating that humanity is now employing.

The Cosmometry Project will coalesce the findings of many researchers across a wide range of areas of study and application into a unified and coherent knowledgebase and organizing framework. The primary focus will be on the findings that are common to all areas of research, with those that are unique to each specific researcher highlighted as their work is explored and presented in greater depth.

The project is directed by Marshall Lefferts, based in South Kona, Hawaii. A life-long student of cosmic geometry and synergetics, Marshall has been consulting for the Buckminster Fuller Institute since 1999, producing the EARTHscope geostory application recently featured in the DaVersity Code biodiversity awareness campaign from The Harvard Center for Health and the Global Enrvironment. He was also co-director of Barbara Marx Hubbard's Foundation for Conscious Evolution from 1999-2004 where he cocreated the Gateway to Conscious Evolution program with Barbara and Teresa Collins, and designed and produced the EVOLVE website at www.evolve.org which features the Synergy Center and the 12-around-1 synergy wheel, an emerging application of cosmometry in the social architecture arena. He also directed The Shift Project, a think-tank dedicated to designing a whole-systems problem solving methodology based upon the 12-around-1 model.

Project Advisors include Foster Gamble and Nassim Haramein.
