What
is a prime symbol? We use myriad
symbols in our sentience of the universe. Every element of existence is
only manifest to us as a symbol and if we have no symbol for an element
then effectively it does not exist. We generate visual and tactile
symbols of the sun, audio symbols of wind and water, smell symbols of
other creatures, and taste symbols of plants. All these can be
considered prime symbols for they are essential to survival. All work to
generate images within us and in our societies that can sustain or

with regard to our perceptions of the nature of energy and how Earth’s
climate works. In this context the following symbols play vital roles in
our discourse: atmosphere
