"Consilience": The sculpture is a replica of a mobius loop, which is a loop with no beginning and no end. It sits atop a pinnacle, signifying a peak of attainment. While "consilience" literally means "a jumping together," it has come to signify the concept that a common body of principles underlies all knowledge. It provides a way of thinking that would allow unification of the sciences and humanities - or a drawing together of all knowledge into one continuous loop.
