Added DiffLines:

* Each era has a different shape design for a motif: the past has triangular designs, the present has oblong (rectangle/square) designs and the future has circular designs. Each shape represents a specific aspect:
** The triangle represents beginning (things usually begin in the past) and ascension (as in climbing up mountains/pyramids), which fits the Conquistador's quest.
** The square represents reason and logic and practicality, qualities Tom shows as a scientist. However the shape is also a pointed, stark shape that offers no comfort or solace.
** The circle represents infinity, as in eternity and immortality. However, endlessness can be an imprisonment and breaking the circle/loop can be a release.
