I think that man prefers rectangles over triangles because for the "home" or business it's the preferred way of building things... because if you've ever been in a triangular room there's a lot of "wasted" space -- you can't really do many useful things in the corners of a triangular room!

This whole notion of time being in units of 1/4ths for hours and 1/3rds for minutes makes me think of the egyptian pyramids -- essentially they have a square base but triangular faces... Maybe this was symbolic of the unity implicit in division... In a triangle, opposition is not really emphasized... Because you are never in a "faceoff" if on are on any node of a triangle... a square is more confrontational because it's emphasizes opposition... I think a triangle emphasizes unity... So you if unify opposition you essentially neutralize it and bring that dispersal of energy to an apex or climax... the top of the pyramid...

take the base of opposition and travel upward to resolution and you get a metaphorical apex.
