PS: An urgent correction! I said: "Beautiful link bt. the crystal sphere and its internal evolving spires as the book a reader contemplates along with its designer. I agree with that!"
Actually, I don't agree with that...or at least,  as fully as I  initially thought.
The Designer and the Reader have to be simultaneously among the spiraling worlds contained in the interior of the crystal marble, as well as on its outside. This externality, next, will be inserted into another spiral, another world inside a world, etc.,m but not really as in an "infinite regress":  where are we standing right now when we write about these spirals and spheres?
