The Neo-Ptolemaic Geospheric embedding of Pattern Transmission Classes

According to Vernadsky and his Succes sors, we can alternatively picture this embedding in a geospheric projection scheme ( Vernadsky (1997: 26), Vernadsky (1930)). This scheme is, of course, patterned after the old Ptolemaic cosmology. ( Spengler (1980: 621); Spektrum d. Wissenschaft, Jan. 1993, p. 84: Schädelsche Weltchronik von 1493; Lippe (1997: 181, 187)). In Lippe's work, we also find an elaboration of how the ancient conceptual patterns repeat or recur in modern intellectual history.
