FMC00.674 shows the principle of applied projective geometry as a mathematical basis for the laws that give form to organic and plant life in nature through the etheric formative forces. More specifically this illustrates the concept of calculating a 'path curve' of points in space, that lie on the intersection of two interpenetrating spiral cones from two invariant points.

As shown in the reference work 'The Vortex of Life’ by Lawrence Edwards (1993), computer simulations render quite exactly the measured forms of buds of flowers, but also the form of the human heart, thereby corresponding to qualitative descriptions by Rudolf Steiner (see Schema FMC00.675).
