# The World Hierarchy

1. Monad: Monad is simple. Divine simplicity.
2. Nous: Numbers and Forms start to exist.
3. Planets & Anima Mundi: Time. Fate and Music start to exist.
4. Cosmos: Sun -> Sulfur, Fire, Air; Moon -> Mercury, Water, Earth.
5. Men: Have Nous. But trapped by nature.



The former contains the latter. The latter resembles the former.

If you want Neoplatonism or Gnosticism, just add Demiurge between
them. For Gnosticism, you can interpret Nous as Pleroma. And the
latter differs from the former.

But for Pythagoreanism, Monad itself is the number 1. It already
contains Nous and Sun. Dyad is the number 2. It is Moon. And
10=1+2+3+4 means the whole world.
