The brass “ruled” top has a double meaning.
First, it’s governed by nature’s law of imbalance:
“The Mother Nature is every moment new, never returns to previous condition. The gravity and magnetosphere are changeable and imbalanced.” – Kontar, V. A.
Second, its geometry is ruled and measured, meaning that its cross-sections are made only of arcs and tangential lines.
