Law of Microcosm and Macrocosm (each human a living microcosm of the universe)
rul-microcosm-macrocosmPrāṇa relevance
The metaphysical license for the body↔dwelling↔cosmos homology on which every prāṇa-chain in the book rests — if the human is a microcosm of the cosmos, ordering the (microcosmic) dwelling can be held to order the resident and align them with the macrocosm. Foundational but not itself a prāṇa-mechanism; not yet closed to a specific prāṇa-physiology.

- Statement
- 'India's ancient Law of Microcosm and Macrocosm, a general rule of metaphysics developed by the sages': each human being is 'a living microcosm of the universe, a tiny self-enclosed cosmos that mirrors the giant cosmos without.' 'No individual's well-being is ever independent of the well-being of the land, the community, or the cosmos'; one must 'investigate the relationship between microcosm and macrocosm' and align the lesser universe with the greater. Vāstu (and Feng Shui) both rest on finding 'similarities between our outer and inner worlds.'

- a web of temporal, spatial and causal interactions links the smaller cosmos to the larger; aligning with nature makes one's 'lesser universe' a sukha-filled component of the greater, exploiting nature invites reciprocal exploitation
