Fascinating.
Perhaps you’d be willing to elaborate with those illustrations in this area of things.
I’m having trouble guessing which would represent which. Maybe I can think of too many possibilities on all sides. LOL.

The pyramid view of Scripture - which would be geometry of the Catholic and Judaic belief - values some Scriptures more than others. To the Jew, the Torah is at the top of the pyramid. To the Catholic, the direct quotes of Christ in the Gospels are at the top of the pyramid. The brane view of Scripture sees it as a whole, each passage bearing on each other passage depending on what one is asking or seeking. It is one "object" of any number of dimensions.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: - Matt 7:7
Some might prefer the onion metaphor for that view - namely, there is a surface meaning which is easily accessible and ever deepening meanings as the onion is peeled. However, I prefer the brane metaphor because no matter how deeply one might look, the surface meaning is never discarded.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. - 2 Cor 11:3
To God be the glory, not man, never man.
