How geometry and tracery compose theological meaning in the rose window at Saint‑Denis.

The rose is geometry teaching theology. Circles, radials, and petals organize light like doctrine. A single window becomes a cosmogram of faith.
📐 Ratios & Patterns
- Concentric rings: Frame iconographic tiers.
- Petal symmetry: Guides reading around the circle.
- Tracery thickness: Balances structure and light.

| Component | Role | Reading |

The circle is order made visible.
