To show the 5 paths correlate with the 5 rivers of Hades, we remind ourselves of the earlier image showing increasing dimensional complexity within the Pythagorean #Tetractys from 0D to 3D. Knowing #Malchut as finite creation, we transpose the 3rd dimension onto its constituents. Then, taking #Tiferet as Hades, we should expect to do as we did with #Malchut: we transpose the 4th dimension onto its constituents and find consistency in our method. Only #Kether is left without connex, and so becomes consistent with Kabbalah's assignment of ineffability. What does it mean? We know by tradition the place of Hades: it is the realm of the dead, where the soul goes after embodied life is lost. To remain there is punishment by isolation, and in Tartarus the wicked suffer, but usually souls drink of Lethe (forgetfulness) and reincarnate.
