is known as the third of the four fundamental symbols, along
with the center, the circle and the square. It also stablishes
a direct relation with the other three. |

relation is in the intersection of its straight lines, which
coincides with the center which, in the cross is open to
the exterior. The cross is inscribed in the circle and divides
it in four segments, manifesting the triangle and the square
when its extremities are connected by a straight line. |
