The concept of unity and the singular nature of Deity is represented in Masonic geometric symbolism by a single point 1. Carl H. Claudy explains that when man first conceived that the universe was governed not by separate deities for individual natural forces, but by one God, the only visual representation capable of expressing that unity was a point 1. Within this symbolic framework, the single point signifies the oneness of the Creator, serving as the origin for further geometric symbols such as the circle representing eternity and parallel lines denoting divine rectitude 1.
