Claim. The four-position-foundation has three vertical tiers (God, parents, children) and develops horizontally as the model family expands into a global network of parallel four-position foundations.
Elaboration. SMM describes the geometry: “Does the four-position foundation have three tiers? Yes; God, Adam and Eve, and their children. In this instance, it is vertical. This must be developed horizontally. By coming down to earth horizontally, the vertical element uses this as a foundation to spread out in innumerable parallel patterns. This becomes the model” (CSG 15.2 §1, 240-14, 1992.12.11). The picture is reinforced spherically: “Heaven and earth find their rightful positions and settle for the first time. Heaven forms an upper axis and earth a lower axis; everything can be united with them at the center… rise to that center, form a circle and ultimately an ideal sphere of love” (170-62, 1987.11.8). Each completed family becomes a node from which the same pattern is replicated outward; the world is built one four-position foundation at a time.
