Chapter in Platonic Lambda

Assignment 3 for LINC 58: Project-Based Learning's Module 3 Challenge is "Doing the Work"— researching, experimenting, and learning about your topic. In Module 2 Challenge for "Genius Hour", my proposed research was writing a book Platonic Lambda: Soul of the Universe. Wish to explore "Mountain" with the Λ shape image
as the first chapter. Skills involved in doing this project: • Researching: Books on symbolism and mythology of mountains. Books on the soul from different philosophical & religious traditions. If information is not in books,
will do Google Search to fill the gaps. • Writing: With the information gathered from books and the web, need to edit them in a coherent manner for readers to digest. • Creating: Formatting text & photographic images in HTML, so web pages are attractive to hold the readers' attention. • Synthesizing: Writing an essay to answer overarching question: "How the Soul is related to the triangular shape Λ of the Mountain?"
