Platonic Triangles and Fundamental Triads as the Basic Elements of the World

Plato introduced and explored many influential ideas. However, later researchers and thinkers did not properly interpreted and correctly understood all of his ideas. In this paper, we evoke one of the clusters of such ideas, namely, Platoʼs ontology based on Platonic bodies and elementary triangles. The goal is to find a relevant scientific interpretation of this idea. Based on the scientific picture of the world, we show that the whole Plato ontology has its relevant counterpart in contemporary science and mathematics.
