Trivium and Quadrivium ARE classical thinking, reasoning. Putting “who” first speculatively is a waste of time, conclusively is surely intended deception. “Theo Von” asks a claimed CIA officer ‘who did 911’. LOL. Finally, by his sheer idiocy or intended deception, we can justifiably cast Theo Von into the weeds.
Who Was Really Behind 9/11?

Trivium
Per Jan Irvin / Logos Media, the Trivium method is a classical thinking/learning framework:
- Grammar — gather facts / define terms / identify who, what, when, where
- Logic — test relationships / detect contradictions / reason from the facts
- Rhetoric — communicate conclusions clearly / persuade / present the argument
Yes — in a stricter Trivium framing, “who” should not be prematurely assumed.
Better formulation:
- Grammar — gather observable facts, define terms, establish chronology, identify claims, evidence, context, and unknowns.
- Not “who did it” as conclusion.
- At most: who is claimed / alleged / involved / affected.
- Logic — test consistency, causality, contradictions, sufficiency of evidence, alternative explanations, and whether the facts support any actor/motive.
- Rhetoric — state the conclusion proportionally, separating known / inferred / unknown.
So yes: inserting “who” first can corrupt the process by forcing premature agency, motive, blame, or narrative. In classical reasoning, identity/agency is often an output
of analysis, not an input assumption.
Quadrivium
Quadrivium = the four classical mathematical arts, traditionally studied after the Trivium.
The Trivium trains language/reasoning:
- Grammar
- Logic
- Rhetoric
The Quadrivium trains number, proportion, pattern, and cosmic order:
- Arithmetic — number in itself
- Geometry — number in space
- Music / Harmonics — number in time
- Astronomy / Cosmology — number in space and time
Short form:
│ Arithmetic: pure number
│ Geometry: number extended in space
│ Music: number expressed through ratio, vibration, and time
│ Astronomy: number expressed through moving bodies in space/time
Together, Trivium + Quadrivium = the seven liberal arts.
