Both the material and the immaterial can be examined through the same conceptual framework when the speed of light is taken as the fundamental reference. If the speed of light serves as the universal limiting value and the basis for natural scaling, there is no compelling reason to assume that the material and the immaterial would diverge from one another in this respect immediately after the Big Bang. They are bound to the same cosmic framework, governed by the same boundary conditions and the same maximum velocity that determines how interactions propagate and how structures can form.
When this line of thought is applied to ancient metrology, an intriguing perspective emerges. The geometry of the pyramids may not be arbitrary or merely symbolic; instead, it may reflect a way in which ancient civilisations conceptualised the fundamental proportions of nature. The pyramid diagram in question – from which the height of the Great Pyramid of Khufu can be derived using an ancient unit of measure – demonstrates that the system is internally coherent. It does not rely on random numbers but on proportions that remain constant regardless of the units used to express them.
In this sense, our modern SI system is not an entirely new invention but rather another method of anchoring measurement to natural constants. It was formulated on different grounds and with the scientific understanding of a different era, yet it is driven by the same underlying ambition: to identify stable features of nature upon which a universal system of measurement can be built. The distinction between the ancient system and the modern SI system is therefore methodological rather than philosophical. Both aim at the same objective, albeit through different approaches.
If this is not immediately apparent, the idea becomes clearer when one examines how ratios, proportions, and natural constants interlock. When measurement is grounded in relationships rather than absolute values, the material and the immaterial fall within the same conceptual frame – and ancient metrology and the modern SI system appear not as opposites but as points along the same continuum
