Secondly, we will treat the converse problem, how to determine the shape
when the projections in each presentation are given. Looking back at the
list just given above, let us write down in each presentation the
projections only.
Mala projections:
Uncus, Pallor, Bidens, Frenum, Plebs, Moles, Urna.
Vesper projections:
Orcus, Ocrea, Uncus, Cardo, Polus, Crates, Frenum, Urna, Thyrsus.
Pluvium projections:
Bidens, Cudo, Luctus, Verbum, Urna, Moles, Vitta, Securis, Cervix.
Lar projections:
Frenum, Plebs, Moles, Urna, Cura, Vitta, Polus, Penates.
Now let us determine the shape indicated by these projections. In now
using the same tables we must not notice the italics, as the shape is
supposed to be unknown. It is assumed that the reader is building the
problem in cubes. From the Mala projections we might infer the presence
of all or any of the tessaracts written in the brackets in the following
list of the Mala presentation.
(Uncus, Ocrea, Orcus); (Pallor, Tessera, Lacerta);
(Bidens, Cudo, Luctus); (Frenum, Crates, Polus);
(Plebs, Cura, Penates); (Moles, Vitta, Securis);
(Urna, Thyrsus, Cervix).
Let us suppose them all to be present in our shape, and observe what
their appearance would be in the Vesper presentation. We mark them all
with an asterisk in Table B. In addition to those already marked we must
mark (†) Verbum, Cardo, Ostrum, and then we see all the Vesper
projections, which would be formed by all the tessaracts possible from
the Mala projections. Let us compare these Vesper projections, viz.
Orcus, Ocrea, Uncus, Verbum, Cardo, Ostrum, Polus, Crates, Frenum,
Cervix, Thyrsus, Urna, with the given Vesper projections. We see at once
that Verbum, Ostrum, and Cervix are absent. Therefore, we may conclude
that all the tessaracts, which would be implied as possible by their
presence, are absent, and of the Mala possibilities may exclude the
tessaracts Bidens, Luctus, Securis, and Cervix itself. Thus, of the 21
tessaracts possible in the Mala view, there remain only 17 possible,
both in the Mala and Vesper views, viz. Uncus, Ocrea, Orcus, Pallor,
Tessera, Lacerta, Cudo, Frenum, Crates, Polus, Plebs, Cura, Penates,
Moles, Vitta, Urna, Thyrsus. This we call the Mala-Vesper solution.
